palawan update
Yes… I’m scheduled to go to Palawan with my boyfriend and our friends on the 12th of April ‘till the 16th (refer to previous post). Sana! Things have been out of control lately eh. Though I have the plane tickets already I’m not sure if it will push through the way it was planned. Something’s up with work. Something that I’m not ready to tell to the whole world yet. Hehe! Next time, promise! Ayun sana lang wag sila mag cross. Please pray for me. I really really want these two “trips” to push through. (Ayan may clue na ha!)
not like any other week
Last Saturday a friend sent me a text messgae about a classmate from high school confined in the hospital. The details of the text really made me sad. I was so helpless and felt that the only thing to do at that time is to pray for her. Even though we were really not that close, I was affected and found myself crying while praying for her. I just cannot believe it could happen to someone I know and someone my age. I did not question God but just lifted up everything to Him.
It was Monday morning when I got another text from a friend. It wasn’t something that you would want to receive upon waking up. Our classmate from high school, Mia, died that day. She died of cancer that originally was only infecting her nasopharynx but later on spread to her bones and lungs. Many other text messages came in after that. Old friends from high school started sending messages of grief and shock. We immediately went to her wake after work. It was nice to see old friends but never in our wildest dreams did we ever thought that we would be seeing each other again under these circumstances. We all went back Wednesday for it was the last night of her wake and we were told that she has expressed her desire for us to be there on her diary.
I went home that night with a different insight on death. This event brought me into a certain level of awareness. I've recognized that death can come to any of us no matter how healthy or how young we are. It’s something inevitable and something that we cannot foresee.
A friend asked me that night on what I would do if I were to be told that I’m sick and only have a few months or days to live. The first question that popped my mind was if I’m going to heaven or to hell. It sent chills to my spine. Though I was told that I will be saved if I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior I still can’t help but think of it. Have I really lived my life in a way that is pleasing to God that will allow me to have an everlasting life with Him? This realization has brought me a fear of hell. It made me more conscious of the things I do or even the things I plan to do. I know I may sound crazy to most of you. But I just believe that there is no time to waste, that there is no more room for excuses. Our life here on earth is not something that we own or something we deserve. It is a gift. A gift that can be taken away anytime.

siebel 7.7
I wasn't able to blog for a long time coz I just came back from my 2-week Siebel 7.7 Core Developer Training. Yes, after supporting the application for almost 2 years I only had my training this month. Incidentally, the project also decided to drop the application. How nice noh? Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers, right? I appreciate it na rin. At least I have the training and the experience under my belt already. Now all I need is that certification. Another problem though, I'm not sure who would sponsor it. Hay buhay.
Another interesting thing about this training is that it was held in one of our offices in Ortigas. Ay, I love Ortigas! I just felt that the quality of my life would be much higher if I was assigned there. It's near QC (where I live). It's near my boyfriend's workplace (Boni) ... well at least more near than Makati. I can be there at the office in only 30 minutes!!! That includes the traffic and the time adjustments (rush hour or not). There are a lot of malls in the are and nice places to hang out like El Pueblo or Metrowalk. It's also a few minutes away from Eastwood. Basta I like it there. given a choice I would really want to be assigned there. Ortigas = Time to go to the gym. Ortigas = more dates. Ortigas = More sleep.

sick girl
I'm down with a flu for two days now. Hay ang hirap magkasakit! I woke up Monday morning feeling heavy and tired but being the stubborn - pa-independent girl that I am, I still went to work. I felt so dizzy on my way to Makati pero sige pa rin. I wanted to vomit sa MRT pero sige pa rin. I arrived at my workstation feeling more tired and heavy. Sobrang sakit ng joints and muscles ko. I tried eating breakfast so I can take my medicines but I cannot even finish a sandwich. That's when I decided (actually Chuck convinced me) to go home.
On my first day I spent the whole of it sleeping. I never thought it was possible to sleep the whole day even after a complete sleep the night before. Today is my second day and I spent most of it watching tv. I miss work na. I miss my team. I miss David and Popee’s mala Don’t Give Up On Us hiritan. Miss ko na kulitin si Pola and tuksuhin kay… sa maraming tao! Haha! Miss ko na si Gracey and utus utusan siya. Miss ko na si Crizzy and kulitin siya if magiging mommy na siya. Miss ko na si Mia dahil sa pagiging original mean girl niya. Hehe! Miss ko na ang mga regular chatmates ko.
Tomorrow back to work na ako! =)
