Closer & closer...
Mood:  happy
I was just telling you earlier that I'd be able to get a response on Friday, right? Well, my friends called me just after lunch to ask me to visit them in the office on Friday!!! Though my friend won't be there when i visit, it's alright. At least i'd already get a feel of what's about to come :) We'll see each other after that...

The Confirmation
Mood:  happy
Last Friday, June 3rd I received confirmation from my Ninong on what we've been praying for the past week. I told him that in my heart, I'm ready for the new challenge :)

I didn't waste any more time so I sent a text message to my friend to ask when we can talk. They advised me to call the next day, Saturday. At first, I didn't know how to start the conversation, but I managed to say "okay na ko" with a big smile on my face. My friend was glad that to hear the news. He said he'll discuss it in their meeting today(!) and will need to see me again sometime this week, most probably, on Friday. Told them I'll wait till then. Since then, I've been interceding for it. I'm sure God has prepared this for me.

I've actually finished doing the most important document I need and I'm glad about the result. I was able to find a good sample and some tips that helped me express what I wanted to say. I'm keeping it till the right time.

Lazy Day
Mood:  not sure
Tama ba naman yan... Lazy day eh nasa trabaho ako? hehehe. Well, i just finished my boss' presentation so that basically wraps up my month-end tasks.

Truth is, my day started out as sluggish. I woke up with a pain in my throat. Uh-oh, i hope i don't get sick. I'm not in the mood for one these days (yup, i sometimes look forward to being sick, just to stay at home and be pampered, hehehe). Then a little later on, i started to feel feverish.

Just when i didn't bring my umbrella, it rains on my way to work. Good thing my seatmate got off where i did, shared her umbrella with me and we both went to the same direction! When we got to Petron at Makati Ave. where i usually get my jeep/fx ride to ZPC, an empty fx had just arrived. That's definitely God --perfect timing! :)

I'm at a crossroads today because i'm awaiting word from my Ninong Joe on the result of our prayers for my request. Sheila & Loret, on the other hand, are awaiting my response. In my heart, i'm looking forward to the new challenge. During lunchbreak, I just finished reading 2 articles in MSN where one, about health, discusses about keeping our mind sharp, and the other one, on 8 signs your job is doomed. The one about health says that a exercising the mind, specifically, a "mentally stimulating job" can help maintain memory longer as we age. Other challenges we can try to keep a sharp mind included "switching careers or starting a new one", among other physical activities.

Ang bigat naman sa dibdib nun isang article so i had to postpone reading it till i had mustered the guts, hehe. The first two signs were, "you've been cut out of the loop", and, "you're losing responsibilities". Ohhh... These things aren't something i didn't know yet. They are true. They are happening. And i'm going through them everyday. God is good, He's been my strength and my guide.

Meanwhile, i wait on Him.

Irritating seatmates
Mood:  irritated
In the presence of God, there is joy. I think that also means God has a sense of humor 'no? Well, this morning started out just like any other. I lined up at the terminal just outside our subdivision for my ride that takes me to work. Standing before me was a lady and behind me was a young guy. When the next vehicle came, an FX, we got on and seated ourselves in the middle section with the lady at my left and the guys on my right. Since the guy was the 4th person, i had to make sure the 3 of us who got in first were seated as close as we can to each other to leave some space for the guy.

When we started on, i found myself tightly squeezed in between my seatmates. I knew then that i won't be comfortable in that position the whole ride, so i slid myself out a bit so that our shoulders weren't touching each other anymore. That meant that i won't be able to rest my back but to me that was better than being sandwiched.

Just a few minutes later, i started feeling something at my back, first on my left, then at my right side -- my seatmates were fast asleep! They were comfortably snoozing so much so that their heads were drooping up to my back! It happened all thoughout the ride, pramis! Ayoko pa naman ng ganon sa lahat. I wasn't comfortable na nga tapos gawin pa nila akong unan?! Grrr! I thought, God must have really intended for me to be sandwiched in between them coz otherwise, the 2 of them would've incurred bumps from hitting their heads against one another!

Well, one time, i moved out again with a sudden jerk. It worked alright, nagising sila and they seated themselves aright, but of course, it didn't stop them from dozing off again. At one point, when i thought the guy wasn't leaning on my back anymore, i suddenly heard a: "sluurrrrrrppp!" Nyaakkksss!!! Don't tell me?!?!?! My eyes were widening in quiet amazement at what could've happened. I was waiting for his next move. Pag ito nagsalita ng "ay sorry", which could only mean he drooled, sasapakin ko talaga! Well, he just shifted in his seat and dozed off again. Hay nako!

Sick day
Mood:  chillin'
Didn't feel well at the start of the day... thought i'd end up emptying my stomach just to feel better... migraine :( Seems like my illnesses are getting to me, every week there's something wrong. But i still believe i'll overcome all this. God has healed me! Amen!

Heard about a sad episode in a friend's lovelife today. Even i got affected with her story! I'll try to cheer her up somehow. Maybe a slice of rich chocolate cake will do the trick :) Will send her one tomorrow.

Ohhh... It's one of those days... But it's these kinds of days that make you appreciate and look forward to better days :)
