Kaluguran Kita Pampanga

A year after my life in brief misery at Datablitz, I'm now residing in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga. We are adjusting to a traffic-less existence, non-polluted air and new environs where the birds chirped day and night. It's amazing, God is astounding. If I'm dreaming, I don't want to wake up ever. My work is with Ms. A, Sir Josie, Seth and Neal. Neal and I are neighbors, literally a door away. We have not imagined it happening in a million years. It's fun. We are having the time of our life. It's busy and alot of adjustments since it's the automotive industry. But it's challenging too and the people are kind. I could cry just now. They're so nice.

All the pain of Datablitz and Metrodental combined are nothing compared to the elation I'm feeling right now. Never mind them. I made friends though and I'm over the moon grateful.

Here the beach is just an hour or two away from me. Two weeks ago we were in Morong, Bataan. Last Sunday we were in Subic. Who knows where we will be next? I haven't even been downtown. or to Angeles which is near Clark that has Koreantown and Banapple in Marquee Mall. Arghhh.

I  have a personal favorite spot in the house. It's the terrace. I pray there. I watched Kdrama. And the birds fly over. The moon peeks at me. The stars winked and the sky makes dazzling lightning bolts. Everyday I wake up bathed in sunshine. Thank You Lord.

Manila is worlds away. I still miss the Old Manila and the church but nonetheless no reason to go back. Unless I  meet up with friends.

It's been amazing. I can work like a horse for 6 days and live like a princess for a day. Not a problem. My Greeley books are on display after 9  years. I just stared at them the first time I saw them again. And my cds.

If I could see the mountain of blessings coming, I would understand the magnitude of the fight. Aja!

A Career Roller coaster 2015

Has it been a year since I last updated? Sorry my personal blog I miss you so much. I've been really busy with...life or making a living. Let me start with the Pope visit last January. Totally amazing to see him up close and to sob at every Mass homilies he officiated. He's kept the fire burning in my heart to love the Lord more and more. 

Then the wheel kept on turning. I was to be transferred to the Education department which was fine if only it wasn't rudely done by Armi and Francis. I wasn't consulted at tall. It was tacky and of course I symphatized with Ms. A which led to the double resignation scheme. I got a quick job at Datablitz and met the coolest staff in the world. Imagine, it was my first managerial post with 6 people under me and I'm not even a gamer. I just wanted a place nearby with better pay. The trade off was a boss straight from hell. It was 4 months of agony even on Sundays. That's where I realized that I couldn't live for the money at all. I sacrificed my freedom and I was miserable. I resigned on the day where my MOP marketing had a summer outing. Soo liberating and it rained hard that day. It was Mama encouraging me haha. 

Next job was Limketkai Luxe with Ms. Corinne which made me travel to CDO. It was very brief bitin trip but I still felt that the hospitality industry was great. It welcomed me back with open arms but was short-lived. The office was too far and the organization was not ideal. So I had to look for another one. This time I hope is the charm. It's a dental chain which is perfect because I'm kind of obsessed with my teeth and oral health care. Also, the commute is tolerable for me and the best thing is no saturdays. Complete weekend again. So far, I'm surviving. I still have to prove myself and up the ante but by God's grace I think I can make it. In Jesus' name. 

This year I also converted my citizenship to South Korean. Completely K-popped. It wasn't planned at all. I was just happy with Lee Min Ho again since I really like him in Boys over Flowers and I even got the Heirs dvd before. And it led to "Personal Taste" which became the starting point of my being Koreanified. The cast, the story, ost and the locations just did me in. I kept searching for more LMH stuff. Then since I finished all his k dramas except Faith which was historical and too long, Youtube displays this Heartstring ep with Park Shin Hye and this payatot guy. Too heartthrobby for my taste I thought. 

So I watched it since the story involved music and college life and definitely loved Shin Hye after the Heirs. But what I wasn't prepared for was my 2nd crush Jung Yong Hwa. I first heard him from Julianna I realized now. His character was spot on - musician, with an attitude and a pained expression the first half of the story. By the other half, I was already in love with him and his band CNBlue. It was interesting because while I was still in MOP last year, they had a concert and Kang Minhyuk mentioned he wanted to go to MOP and Jollibee. The funny thing was I saw these trending posts on Twitter but I never did bother to know more. I just dismissed it as K pop thing. A year later I'm hooked. No turning back na talaga. I'm so besotted by him. 

Next job is Metro Dental. It was a roller coaster type of thing. Same day exam, final interview and hiring date. Glory to God. I met nice people, phony people and then I couldn't take it anymore. I stayed for 4 months and now it's February 3, 2016 already and I have a new job in the offing. God is truly amazing in my life. And Dad is coming tomorrow!
