    Got my first paycheck! :)

    I got a job a week after my arrival here in the UK and it's such a nice feeling when I checked my bank account and saw my first salary! It makes me feel more driven to work more hours hehe I tend to be reluctant when spending, though, 'cause I can't help converting the price of the stuff here to peso despite countless people telling me to NOT do it. Oh, well.

    Glad to hear that success story.
    I'm pretty sure you'll spend some soon.

    You experience so much more when your employed.
