January 7

Barely 4min. before the day ends!

Even though things didn't turned out as what I expected,

sobrang daming overtime and kulang lagi tulog,

misunderstandings...

Lito kung saan patutungo...

And just as God closes the door, He opened the windowS!!!!

Tears of Joy came out! really! I am free! whew!

30min ago, I was reading an email and talking with someone (nakakadisappoint...)

Timing na may email alert! It was from Murthy!!!!

Sobrang saya! Naalala ko yung sabi ni Father kahapon sa Mass

"A wise person can see God in every star and every stable!"

Maging maganda man or hindi maganda ang nangyayari satin sa buhay natin e

dapat nakikita natin ang Diyos...

I prayed hard that he will grant what is best for me

Actually lito talga ako kahapon... and he said Wait!

haha 6mos nga lang ako nagwait...

and tears of Joy rolled out from my eyes when I read the email ...

Kristine,

January 6, 2008

Today is the 1st Sunday of the year! Happy ThreE KinGs to All!

Although my holiday season was not as good as I expected and the first few days of the year has a lot of misundertandings, I thank God that I am still alive! He showed me the value of patience and understanding. I have no control on how other people want to see me and thus, I should be mature and understanding enough for them. I know that God is only molding me to be a better me and this year will be better!

I have plans of going out of the country and establish my career. I am currently having a dilemna on staying in my current company and be deployed to U.K. whereas I can learn a lot of things. If I will pursue it, I will be able to interact with Europeans, see how their minds work, their way of living and surely gain a good experience in my life and for my current career. Catch: my payroll is still in PH not Euro, the heck! Well... it's all about making the right choices right?! I can still opt to go to Singapore since I have a pending interview this coming Feb. If ever I will decide to go there and be fortunate enought to be hired, I will probably earn more. Catch: I should take the risk of being under probationary, expect retrenchment and foul odor (lolz). If this will be my choice, I will work hard to get that permanent residency and bring my family there.

With U.K. Staff Supply!
