Mas Masarap Kapag Hindi Umaasa

After ng application at interview ko sa TOMCAT, I thank the Lord for keeping my feet on the ground :) In full honesty, never ko sya inasahan. Oo, editor ang naging trabaho ko pero sabi ko sa sarili ko, may possibility parin na hindi ako tanggapin.

Sa totoo lang, gustong gustong gusto ko magedit para sa UST. Its like you know you have this skill na you want to share to your Alma Mater. Lalo na't Quadcentennial Celebration ng UST sa 2011, mas lalo akong naeexcite! (Hopefully) magiging part ako ng history!

Madaming nagsabi sakin nun na sure na na matatanggap ako dahil with the experience on hand, tanggap na tanggap na daw ako. Pero ewan ko, there's this feeling na 50/50 paren sa akin. Si Lord lang naman talaga makakapagsabi ng fate ko :) After the interview kasi, they told me na mag wait nalang ako ng 2 weeks for their text, pero if wala akong marecieve na text message from them within that 2 weeks, that means hindi ako pasok. Well, after the interview, sobrang pinabayaan ko nalang sya. Hindi nako nagbilang kung ilang araw nalang. Yun lang naman yun eh, kung ibibigay, ibibigay :) I have full trust in God na if He wants this to happen for me, He will give it to me, diba?

And yes, nagulat nalang ako nang makatanggap ako ng text message from TOMCAT last July 8. Im sure na it is one of the happiest days of my life! ^______^

Ang saya saya ko!!! Mas masarap nga talaga ang feeling ng mga bagay na kusang dumadating kesa sa maghintay ka ng bongga sa kaka-asa sa wala.

Utang na loob ko ang lahat ng ito sa Panginoon. Pagkabasa ko ng mensaheng ito, Siya agad ang unang una kong pinasalamatan sa isip ko. Alam kong Siya ang nagbigay nito, Siya ang nagkaloob nito sa akin. :) Hindi ko alam kung bakit sa dami ng kasalanan ko, patuloy at wala parin sawang pinagkakaloob ng Ama ang mga biyayang ito. :)

Salamat sa lahat ng naniwala saken. At syempre, salamat kay Lord kasi kung hindi dahil sa Kanya, hindi ko makukuha to. PRAISE YOUUUUUUUUUUU!

Will keep you guys updated for my first workshop as apprentice! Wish me luckkkkkkk! ;)

Encounter With A Thief!

Tapos na ang klase at interview ko. Normal ko nang nilalakad ang JB Roxas papunta sa bahay ko.
Nung medyo malapit nako, biglang may kumausap saking magnanakaw. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam na kinakausap na nya ako, daldal na sya ng daldal pero finifigure out ko paren kung ako talaga kausap nya.

Eto nalang yung naintindihan ko,
"... pero ganun talaga eh. Inaamin ko naman po na mali po yung ginawa kong pagnanakaw pero wala po kasing panggatas ang anak ko eh. Hindi pa po kami kumakain ng misis ko. Sige na po."
Sabi ko, "Naku kahit na. Mali parin yung ginawa mo."
"Alam ko naman po eh. Sige na po, bilhin nyo na tong kwintas."
Dun ko lang nagets na binebenta nya pala saken yung ninakaw nya!
I turned him down.
"Sige ate ha, salamat nalang. Pasensya na talaga. Hayaan nyo, sinigurado ko namang mayaman yung ninakawan ko eh."

Nakakaloka si kuya diba? :))

A Farewell / Thank You Letter

Dear God,

In the three years and seven months that I have worked with Threelogy, there are many reasons why I am very much thankful to You. They introduced me to the wonderful world of videography and the much loving wedding industry.

I love each one of them, Lord. Bong, Ceej, Jon, Rosie, Mariz, Maeline, Len, Kuya Mon, Cielo, Dyep, Ate Glads.. Sobrang happy ako kasi You let me be a part of their lives. They are wonderful fun-loving people and I appreciate the friendship I have with each one of them.

Lord, I would like to thank you for allowing me to be a part of the wedding industry. Kasi Lord, kung wala ako sa Threelogy, madaming madaming suppliers ang hindi ko makikilala, and I know im glad kasi I crossed paths with them. I most especially thank those people who became real friends, and actually talking to me, heart-to-heart without even judging me. I know I do not earn as much as everyone else but they appreciated me and welcomed me into their lives.

Lord, thank You too for all the brides (ang a few grooms) that I have been friends with through this journey. Im deeply touched kasi sa dinami ng brides na binigyan ko ng serbisyo, few of our clients remained a unique friendship with me. Meron pa nga, hindi naging client ng Threelogy pero friends ko! Ang galing sobra!

Lagi ko nga po diba sinasabi, I dont believe in luck but sa blessings, yes I do. And I consider everyone of them as a blessing from You. Hindi lang material things ang binibigay Mo, pati friendship with all these people, I know it is from You. Thank You for Bong CJ and Jon. :)

In this new chapter of my life, I know Lord that this is what You have always planned for me. Thank You for the gift of education, not everybody is blessed with this kind of opportunity. I promise that I will do my very best talaga to excel in my studies. I know I will do well, basta wag Nyo lang ako iiwan. :)
