Today, I am Making A Wish

Last few months ago, I made a wish to GOD. I prayed and wished that He would allow me to get a job before my graduation comes. Also, I remember saying, "gusto ko po yung malapit lang, mga bandang Tandang Sora po ok na ko". Wish granted, prayer answered. GOD has sent me an angel (Maam Joyce, who's always been my angel) and gave me job before my graduation to the location I am requesting. True to the saying "Be careful what you wish for, you might get it".

In a week time, I will formally become a part of that company as Recruitment Assistant. Again, I will make a wish, and HOPEFULLY, GOD will grant my wish again, as what He is always been doing. I pray to GOD that He will help me in choosing the right person for a particular job position. I wish I will be able to select the right one, who are in need and suit the position best. Be it skilled or a white collar job. I wish He will guide me choosing the best. 

My definition of BEST APPLICANT are: fits the job mentally, physically, and psychologically. Also, the one who is not that stable in terms of financial aspect. The one who really needs money and will use the money wisely, and prioritize his family. Last but not the least, the one who can be an asset to the company. Who works hard and has passion for his job, putting his effort in whatever task is given to him. 

I hope GOD will assist me in finding these persons. Also, I wish to GOD that he will accompany me everyday, and stay beside me all the time. Specially if I'm out of town and alone. Be this job a memorable and meaningful one, that will help me became a better individual. And those are my wish.

Hindi naman po masama yung wish ko, kaya sana po i-grant nyo uli. :)

Dear Crush,

You really need to stop being so cute.

Sincerely,
 Me

Dear GOD,

I just want to say Thank You for allowing my request to happen. When I prayed to you that I wanted to have work before my graduation comes, you made it happen. Lord, kindly bless Maam Joyce and her family, always take good care of them, wrap them in your loving arms. She is really an angel to me, ever since.

As what you see, I always doing my best in everyday. Though as a reliever, I am very much thankful for this opportunity. Whatever will be the outcome, your will be done.

Thank You po uli! Ang lakas ko talaga sa inyo. :)

Dear John

Dear John,

         

       Thank you for putting me in an awkward situation the other day. Tsk! Yes, its a fact, and we both know that I admire your team mate a lot. Pero I don't have the intention for him to know how I feel towards him, kasi I know lilipas din 'to. Grabe, the feeling na you feel that awkwardness kahit pa sabihing wala lang naman. Its just, its not my nature to confess how I feel sa isang lalake. :( Feel so awkward, Levin is online pa at that moment, praying na hindi nag-appear sa feed nya yung status ko. Tsk! Yung status mong all of a sudden bigla mong hide.

         

       Hay! How I hate you that very moment, tapos you made a conversation pa, you me and him. Grabe ka. It feels like I'm losing my dignity. You're soooo mean. Such an awkward moment!

An Open Letter To LEVIN :)

Dear Crush,

I am writing this open letter because I want to voice out what's on my mind. I want to express what's inside me, without you knowing it. :)

You know what? You really making an impact to my everyday life lately. How? Ok let me confess muna what I have done recently. I have stolen some of your pictures and saved it on my sd card, so that whenever, and wherever I want to see your handsome face to add up inspiration, I can easily access. (^__^) Ang crazy ko lang diba?

Seriously, di ko naman talaga intention na ma-fall sayo e. Like what I've posted, when we were in Bataan, although I've noticed you, pero I don't have any special feelings to at those moments. August 1 or July 31 ko lang ata narealized I was attracted to you PHYSICALLY. :)))))

You may not know, but whenever I have an important things to settle lately or importante na lakad, I always make a point to see your face muna before I go on. Pampaswerte lang, and lately parang pumapasok ka na sa system ko. If that is good or bad, I don't know. Wala naman akong intention na maging gf mo, not even in my wildest imagination, you're just a pure inspiration. Nakakatuwa lang na you don't have that idea na ganito na yung impact mo sakin. Pero mas ok na 'to, what's the sense naman kasi for you to know pa? Kung alam mo lang na you're in my prayers. Wishing na you are always safe along with your family. Yung tipong, hindi ka magasgasan, kahit konti. Buhusan ka na lang ng water, keri lang :)))))))

Haaaaaay! Stay handsome ha? Para inspired ako lagi, tsaka ok din na you prioritize your goals and you don't have time for girls. Based sa mga posts mo in the past, if that is true o frog ka din, bahala ka na. Pero sana lang before ka pa may matipuhan, di na kita crush para wala na ko maramdamang kahit na anong pain just in case. :)))))

Sabi nila, people you meet along the way daw will eventually play a role in your life, you just find out what would that be. Hmmmmm, I'm curious, ano kaya role gagampanan mo sa buhay ko? Ito ba yun? Ang maging inspiration ko before the graduation day comes? Kung pwede ko lang ibigay sayo yung isang ticket ko e. Para kakiligan hanggang graduation. :))))))

Sa ngayon, ok na 'to keeping this infatuation silently.

Crush Shared

I went on my crush's facebook wall, I saw a video being shared by him, last September 27, 2013. It was entitled, WHO YOU ARE: A MESSAGE TO ALL WOMEN.


 
Sharing it on your page simply signifies that you agree on the content, you are also having the same sentiments. Now, tell me, who will not fall for a guy like him?

Meet Levin, My Crush

Meet my crush, his name is LEVIN. Funny, when we are in Bataan, though he caught my attention, I didn't feel anything special towards him. Although I must admit he is a really good looking guy, head turner sabi nga. Nagsink in lang sakin na I am PHYSICALLY attracted to him mga after a week HAHAHA! Kulet lang. Pero, I don't have any plans naman to pursue my feelings towards him. HIS, being my inspiration nowadays is enough. Ang sarap lang ng feeling na kinikilig ka, before matulog sa gabi, yung iba-browse mo yung fb page nya, then you'll do the same pag gising mo, babatiin mo sya ng "good morning crush" pero sa sarili mo lang. HAHA. So near, yet so far.

Although I got the chance to chat with him once sa fb, he seemed nice naman, with words chosen, mukha ngang magalang e.

Hay naku, whatever! Basta good luck na lang sa mga activities nila sa game at practice. Hope he will achieve whatever plans he has and goals he is setting. At sana hindi sya ma-injure para he can continue to pursue those things. May GOD be with him and his family, always.

And of course, though you didn't know, thank you Levin for inspiring me everyday. I'm keeping a positive outlook in life and a smile on my face my everyday kasi you're one of those people who inspires me. Napapangiti ako everytime I see your face on facebook, kaya wag kang magdeactivate ha? Ok lang sakin na nagpa-flood ng notifications basta ikaw. Tsaka wag mo kong i-unfriend. Saka na kapag di na kita crush.

(^_____^)

Happy :)

Just found out this morning the real score, Thank GOD for the good news. I thought someone will no longer be able to continue his dream. Yun pala yung exact feeling. And felt relief after.

We may not be close, not even get the chance to be one, pero masaya parin ako for you.

Just wishing him best of luck to all his upcoming endeavors. Ikaw na po bahala sa kanya. And, thank you po for the inspiration.

Secret Garden #1

My favorite scene in Korean Drama, Secret Garden.

I just love the statement! Haaaaaaaay! Kim Joo Won, come into life please, and let out paths crossed.

My name is Just-In :)

I'm not a fan of "pick-up lines" nor using them. I can't even remember if there was a time I got engaged in a conversation using those. Although last year, my group mates decided to use it in our project for Sikolohiyang Filipino. Well, it seems nga it didn't work for me, kasi I ended up going for a solo and ibahin yung concept ng project ko, far from "pick-up lines" nga. Siguro kasi yun nga I'm not into "pick-up lines" though my close friends almost use it as a part of their daily conversation for quite sometime, lalo na nung kasagsagan na uso talaga sya. 

Last Sunday, dahil walang magawa, nanood ako ng tv. Since wala masyado magandang palabas, napunta ko sa channel five. Airing ang Loko Moko U. May isang segment sila na na-caught yung attention ko at ewan ko, why ganun yung maging impact sakin nung portion. Empoy delivered his "pick-up line", "Hi, I'm Justin. Just-in case magbreak kayo, andito lang ako". Super natawa ko. For the very first time, naaliw ako sa isang "pick-up line". I don't know because natuwa at natuwa ba ko, or dahil nakarelate ako? 

Parang I want to change my name tuloy for a moment and introduce myself as "JUSTIN". Just-in for, Just-in case mahipan sya ng hangin. Just-in case marealize nya na, may nag-eexist na "AKO". Just-in case, pwede kahit malabo pa sa tubig ng Manila Bay. Just-in for, Just-in case, just in case. Pero impossible talaga. I don't even want to entertain the thoughts. 

Pero type ko talaga yung "JUSTIN" :)

The Last Time I said "I'm Sorry"

Last night I was chatting with my friend. As our conversation goes on, there were words and things I have said which made him confused about his decision. I'm just pointing out my concerns, its just that, maybe I have delivered it in a confusing manner. And I for myself also got confused also, so in the end, I retracted my statement. Not that I'm not unsure about it. Its just that I don't want him to feel as if I'm imposing something. God knows I only want what nothing, but good intentions. Our conversation ended, me saying "sorry".

While I was in bed and my migraine is attacking me, an old feeling strikes. I suddenly remember, it was quite sometime I never use the word "sorry". Since the time I decided to cross and walk in different path, this was the first time I said the word "I'm sorry" to a friend. Specifically to a male friend.

Although looking at it, it seems the same, but, it was not actually as close as it was. Before, when I say "I'm sorry", it was a result of careless joke or a discussion resulted into a misunderstanding. But now, it was a result of an advice that was not clearly define. And I must admit, it was my fault. Minamigraine na kasi ko during that time, I feel like I'm going to vomit any moment. So I didn't finish my explanation. 

Natawa ako, kasi from the day I changed my prospective in life in terms of friendship, this was my first time again to say "sorry" to a friend. And surprisingly, feels different too. Yung manner how I view and what to expect ibang iba na. I can't describe exactly what was the difference, pero may difference na talaga at malaki. Maybe, factor din, kasi sa ibang kaibigan ako nagso-sorry at the moment. Nothing, its just, I remember lang. :)

Looking back from the last time I said "I'm Sorry" it was traumatic, and nakakadala, Unlike now, nagso-sorry ako for a better reason, to a much better person, and I know a much higher form of friendship.

Lesson Learned + Realization 2

There are people who tried their best to pull away from a certain situation because they know and they are fully aware that they are already stepping on someone's toe, but ended up FAILED to move away from the circumstances. Whether ginusto narin natin ang sitwasyon na kinalalagyan natin or dala lang pagkakataon kaya tayo hindi makaalis, at the end of the day, choice mo yan.

Lesson Learned: Huwag mong ilalagay ang sarili mo, or h'wag ka nang papasok sa isang sitwasyon na hindi mo kayang lusutan.

Realization: Nilikha tayo ng Diyos para kontrolin ang sitwasyon, hindi para kontrolin tayo ng sitwasyon.

Psychological Testing. A subject wherein Psychology major are expected to learned and able to administer various psychological tests at the end of the semester. DONE! May bonus pa. Conflicts. Kahit saan tumingin may conflicts, and it sucks! This semester supposed to end happily, pero everything was blown out of proportion, at nakakalungkot. REALLY.

Lesson Learned: No matter how you try to understand people and situation, sometimes the only thing you get out of that trying is STRESS.

Realization: A simple misunderstanding and miscommunication can cause a big trouble, especially if it was blown out of proportion.

To someone's life, who are you: Reason, Season, Lifetme?

Reason, Season, or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.


— Unknown

To someone's life, what are you?
 

Random Thoughts 2

Parang ang tagal ko nang hindi nagpopost ng entry, blogging is really a part of my system na talaga. No particular topic to discuss, and no "big" issues in my life currently. Yeah, I know some na may issues na dala-dala ngayon. But, I just want them to leave alone for a moment and take their solitary moment, they need it.

Well, I supposed to finish my editing for our thesis, but then, I feel like paulit-ulit na yung sinasabi ko kaya I decided to stop muna. After nun, we can pass it this week, and hopefully have it signed by the professors. :) Speaking of thesis, funny talaga yung final defense namin last March 26! Imagine, terno terno kami ng kulay ng suot na damit. We don't even talk about it. At first, Van and I decided na magterno, but then sabi nya, di na daw sya bibili ng damit. Ako talaga I have decided to buy since I'm investing din sa clothes, recently kasi naliliitan ko na yung mga damit ko. I saw a blouse in the mannequin, kulay red. Nung sinukat ko, bingo! I bought it agad. tinernuhan ko na lang ng light beige na color ng pants. The next day, while me and Van are walking at SM Fairview, she saw this dress, maganda at bagay sa kanya. When she paid it, we noticed na we have the same color. Natuwa namin kami kasi kahit dinidregard na namin yung una naming plano na magterno, feeling namin God let our plan to continue. Ayun E di terno kami. When the defense day comes, we got shocked when we saw the Gelo and Leo wearing the same color as ours. OMG! Paa talaga kaming nag-uasp, tsk! Kulet lang. Oh well! here it is.

Oh diba? Sadyang nakakaloko magbiro ang tadhana. With us is our dear thesis adviser MR. RICHARD LAUS, who has been soooo supportive samin ni Van from the start. Nga lang minsan nahihilo kami sa schedule na binibigay ni Sir. But then, nothing in the whole part of the thesis making we want to change. from the title approval and all. Kasi super saya ng experience. Yung kapag usapang thesis, may maishe-share ka. At super proud kami ni Van sa study namin. We know damn well why. The whole process itself, dami nain experience na worth keeping, people na nakilala along the way, AT Van and I became closer. This whole thing talaga is something to be proud of. :)

******

Aaaaand I saw vitamin "R" online, hahaha! <3 p="">

Jen texted me kanina, asking me how's my lovelife. Pakasalbahe lang, ang daming itatanong yun pa. :P Well, I just answered her, "I'm inspired". At totoo naman, somebody is making me inspired lately. Bakit ba kasi kapag "inspired" yung term, dapat ba love life agad? Hindi ba pwedeng, someone who makes you think that you are capable of doing something great. :) Basta yun na yun. sya na yun. Ako at si God na alng nakakaalam who HE is.

Worth It

This day is such a tiring day. Nevertheless, so fulfilling on my part, knowing you made someone feel that she is special. Of course I can't make it alone. With the help of other people, orchestrated plan went well. Although it was done differently from what I wanted sana. Still, thank you Lord, for the help, kindly blessed those people who help me. You know who are they. Give them a good night sleep. :)

Making someone feel that she/he is special is really a blissful chance that everyone should grab. After, there is something inside the way you feel. I can't explain exactly the feeling. It's kind of a mixture of contentment, happiness, and it makes you humble. Parang after you saw the person crying, appreciates you and thanking you, all you can say is "it's worthy". All the days that you are crammed, thinking of what concepts will you do and collecting materials, and carefully executing your plans, it paid off. 

And these are the precious moments I will never trade! Actually, I already have in mind what am I going to do for her next birthday. And for sure mabibigay ko na yung gift na gusto ko talaga iregalo sa kanya. Ang hirap kasing hanapin. That was the gift I want to receive since I was young, since walang nagbigay sakin nun, ako na lang ang magreregalo. :)

Thank you Lord, for this day. This day is simply, fulfilling.

Still

"I will be STILL, knowing I have GOD!"

Sayang

Sad. Super SAYANG :( pero wala e, ganun talaga. Thorn in between. Haaaaaaaaaay! :( Iisip na lang uli ng ibang way para magpush through. :( I'm looking at the stuff, parang it says, "you must find a way". I will naman, kaya lang yung ayun na e, tapos biglang. . . . .  OK!

Haaaaaaaaaaaay! :(

Pet Peeves

I don't take medicine. I feel better when I sleep, its my way of recovering from illness. When you forced me to take medicine, I feel like my life gets a little shorter. Its like I've lost ten years of my life. So don't you ever give me medicine to make me feel better, give me pillow and a blanket instead. :)

I hate answering phone calls. It sucks! I don't know why, but I'm lazy at answering phone calls. Be it the most special person who are calling, I don't care. If it's important, then text it to me. I will reply immediately for sure, but a call? Good luck!

People who doesn't know the concept of "keep right" irritates me a lot. I just don't know why there are people who don't know that they should walk in their right side. Especially in the mall, in the ladder and anywhere where there are a lot of people. Nakakainit sila ng ulo!

Lessons Learned + Realization 1

For the past years of my life, I have learned a lot of lessons in life, along with it are realizations. So here, I documented those, and plan to make it a series. :)

An incident with my former supervisor in a silver jewelry store, and the company itself. My former supervisor is one of the pioneer supervisor in the company. But when the time the company noticed some anomaly in our branch, they immediately conducted an secret investigation towards him and secretly approached us to tell the truth. Sadly, I was one of the staff being asked to proceed to the head office to meet the owner and the general manager to discuss the matter. On behalf of the former staffs who's contract was ended, I spoke their complains. To cut the story short, he was proven guilty with his acts. The verdict? He was fired by the company he is working for ten years. My former co-workers were so thankful to me for doing such courageous act, as if I was a state witness in a crime. But after that, my supervisor approached me with a hopeless face and told me, "Bakit?" Hindi ako nakasagot due to my surprise. Surprise, because of his question. Why he is asking me that, when he knew very well, I'm just telling the truth.

Lesson learned: Speak for the truth, even if it means fighting against someone who is powerful than you. Moreover, speaking for the benefits of the majority.

Realization: Transparency between company-employee still exist!

A friend whom I always helped with his problem, but when tough situation comes, he's always on the other side. But when he needs an ears to listen to his stories, a sensitive issue to discuss, I'm a friend.

Lesson learned: I will NEVER be like him.

Realization: One) I have a kind and loving heart, that's why I'm blessed.

Two) There were people talaga na magaling lang kapag may kailangan, BINGO!

Because a lesson learned always comes with realization. . . . . . . 

3 Idiots

The other day, pinapanood sakin ni Van yung movie na "3 Idiots", and I say, you're missing half of your life kung 'di mo sya mapapanood. Simple lang yung flow ng movie, pero full of wisdom. In addition pa na yung setting was in college, kaya makakarelate ang bawat college students na makakanood ng movie. Simple lang ang kwento ng movie, pero naka-based in reality, kaya sobrang naka-relate ako. I was inspired by the movie to always do good to everyone. Kahit pa nga, may mga nagsasabi lang na ako ay isang dakilang "bait-baitan" at "sipsip". Oh well! 

I want to be like Rancho, his positive view towards life, the way he encourage his friends, I want to be Racho in my own way. :)

My favorite scene, scenes actually, was first, the scene when he define what is a machine. That was a typical scenario in many colleges and universities.  Some students were so bookish, nakarelate ako dun. I prefer to define things in my own way, the way how I understood. Why complicate things nga naman if you can simplify it? Funny when return because he forgot something, and when asked what it is, instead of just simply saying "book" he define what is a book. Laughtrip talaga! Another is when Raju applying for a job but refuses to change his attitude in exchange for a position in the company. I like the way he answered "No offense Sir. Keep the job, I'll keep my attitude". How nice! Superb yung eksena na yun! Another is yung sa may finale part, wherein Racho called Chatur to stop him. And when he saw the name Phunsukh Wangdu on his phone calling him, immediately he answered with delight, not knowing Phunsukh Wangdu is also Rancho, the scientist na hinahanap nya to sign a deal with the company he worked for. Tamang kulit ng scene na yun.

Overall, hindi nakakapagtakang nakapagtala ng box office history sa Bollywood ang 3 Idiots. The story, the lesson, simple yet reality-based. Though 2009 pa pala naipalabas yun sa India, at least I got the chance to watched it kahit pa 2013 na. :) I didn't miss the half of my life. :)

Aal izz well!

Humility says. . . . .

Psalms 25:9 

He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.

Humility is something that is gained and practiced as we grow in wisdom and grace. Easton’s 1897 Bible Dictionary defines “humility” as: a prominent Christian grace. It is a state of mind well pleasing to God; it preserves the soul in tranquility and makes us patient under trials  Biblically speaking, humility is the opposite of pride. And according to one thesaurus source, some other antonyms for humility are: arrogance, assertiveness, egoism, pretentiousness, and self-importance.

Thesis Making (part 1): Its More Fun at International Center UP Diliman

Since the first day ng thesis, Van & I never expected na ganito magiging kasaya ang experience namin sa pagbuo ng research. From the day we learned na start na ng defense ng January 10, we immediately came up with titles. After the title defense was successfully done, Van & I made all the necessary steps para di kami mahirapan, knowing hindi magiging madali ang paggather namin ng data since half of our chosen respondents are Koreans, and the other half are students from provinces. Plus the fact na we are going to do this research outside the campus.

So Van & I decided na magpunta agad ng UP Diliman, isa kasi sa mga research setting namin ang UP Diliman. Since UP ang pupuntahan namin, we dont expect anything but hope for the best na sana maging successful ang lakad namin para di sayang sa pamasahe, yun lang. Early morning rush, nagkita kami sa Mini Stop sa Robinsons Nova, ofcourse kasama ang makulit na si Louie. We first went sa main building, thinking na dun marami since "main" nga e. At dun namin malamang pwedeng makuha ang respondents at the same time mga taong pwedeng mapagtanong regarding our concerns, plus yung permits necessary para legal ang paggather namin ng data. At syempre nakita namin ang oblation ng UP kaya, picture picture agad. Syempre documentation purpose narin.

After, lapit na kami sa guard. Kuya guard is very nice and accomodating, nagbanggit sya ng mga ilang buildings wherein we can ask daw. He mentioned, Vinzon's Hall. There are a lot of students daw dun na nakatambay, mga organizations sa loob ng UP. We thought na pwede lakarin, haha. Buti na lang we asked couple of students na parang nagpa-practice ng kung ano man yun, haha. They were very nice, di sila mga suplado at suplada, we better ride daw kasi malayo ang Vinzon's Hall sa UP main. At hindi nga sila nagkamali, kasi malayo nga. Haha! Kaloka, hitsura namin kung nilakad namin yun?

Pagdating namin sa Vinzon's Hall, syempre, we asked again kuya guard. They referred us sa OSA for permits, but OSA told us na sa website na lang daw kami tumingin. Slight, medyo napanghinaan kami ng loob, pero still have the courage na dapat maging successful ang lakad since sayang nga sa pamasahe. Haha. Kuya guard told us, if we need daw foreign students, then punta daw kami ng IC, short for International Center. Ask daw namin kung pwede dun. So, we just did.

Pagdating ng International Center, may bumati agad saming guard at isang parang head dun sa IC. We asked kung pwede, much to our surprise, hinanapan agad kami ng letter, para makapagconduct agad kami kinabukasan. Sobrang blessing talaga yung natisod namin ni Van. Kaya we went back immediately sa OLFU to produce the letter they need at mapapirmahan na sa authorities. :) While waiting napansin namin nila Louie at Van na parang walang dumadaan na jeep sa pwesto namin. Louie approached someone na papasok ng compound ng IC. He then asked, "kuya may jeep po ba na dumadaan dito?" The guy answered back, "what? speak english." Hahahaha, OMG, kasi naman diba International Center nga e, so meaning although they have features like Filipinos, most probably, foreign sila. :P We think he is an Indonesian ata or Malaysian, he looks Filipino kasi. Well, ayun napasabak sa englisan ang mokong. :)))) tanong ka pa ha?

After lunch ng makabalik kani ni Van sa IC. Habang binibigay namin yung letter we noticed, there were a lot of foreign students nga at IC. And many of those foreigns were Koreans, na syang subjects namin for our data gathering. They look nice naman and approachable, kaya lalo natuwa naman kami ni Van. We learned that the person we are actually talking to pala si Maam Andrea, who is the officer in-charge in IC. She told us na call na lang daw kami for schedule ng availability ng mga students, so that maging smooth ang takbo ng data gathering namin. 

That very first day pa lang thankful na talaga agad kami ni Van, kasi parehas di kami familiar sa lugar, but with Louie around, everything becomes light. Ang kulit kasi kasama ni Louie walang dull moments, puro green moments. Haha. Plus, lahat ng napagtanungan namin sa UP campus, guards, authorities, students, even mga vendors, they were so nice and warm. Feeling talaga namin ni Van, everything that day was so perfect. Blessing na blessing talaga. Parang sign na everything will be easy and light. Tapos yung pamasahe namin, worth it. 

Minsan kasi, its not actually the task itself, but the places and people that makes the hard task easy. At yun ang naramdaman namin ni Van that day. :)

Everything will fall into its proper place in proper time, really!

God never fail to surprise me talaga. Sorry Lord if I took sometime, longer than expected before I finally made up my mind. Kung sinunod ko lang agad yung gusto nyo di sana di na ko nastress masyado. You really love me Lord. :) Higit kanino man, ikaw po ang nakakakita ng laman ng puso ko, kahit pa nga, they don't see my real and sincere intentions most of the time. Kahit pa, I often misinterpreted by unexpected people, you still shower me with love and blessings. You know kung anong laman ng puso ko, at sapat na po yun. 

What ever Your will for me this time, help me to see it clearly. At wag nyo po akong bibitiwan. THANK YOU SO MUCH LORD FOR THIS PEACE OF MIND.
