Favored and Blessed

I am a girl who is not really into material things. I still have eight year old pants in my closet and yeah I still wear it sometimes. I don't usually buy clothes for myself, most of the time I only got new clothes when my mother bought me or I am forced to buy one because I need it for something, maybe for an interview, costume, debut party or what so ever. But these past days, I am really eye-ing for a new jacket since by favorite stripe jacket is already fully utilized and nearly to give up. Besides, I really need it for my Saturday classes because my campus was at the RCBC Makati, which is very cold (even in the corridor) but I don't have any courage to spend some more money since I need to save for my coming terms. I know I’m frugal and stingy and kuripot or whatever you like to call me when it comes to money, but my tuition fee in La Salle is not a joke so I need to discipline myself in buying what really is IMPORTANT and URGENT :)

 But yesterday, he bought me this jacket. I honestly don’t want him to buy me that jacket ‘coz I think it’s too expensive for a piece of cloth. He can just use the money in paying his bills because I know that he has so many responsibilities in his family. He recently bought a pair of shoes for his brother so I guest his budget for the month is so tight and I want him also to save money for his future, for our future (if ever!) But he insists it to buy me that jacket. He makes me kulit to fit and try one. And I really can’t believe he will really buy that I just realized he was serious when he was heading to the cashier to pay for it. We were like kids in the boutique because we were pulling and pushing and pulling each other, pulling and pushing and pulling back and forth. And there, he won and I got a new jacket!

 I always tell him that he don’t need to do that and I’m not used to be treated like that, because I never felt that way before especially with my ex-boyfriend. I am not bitter anymore; I am not comparing either.  I just want to make some emphasis of how lucky, no, how blessed I am to have him in my life.

Accounting with Excellence

Image
"Find(ing) your passion in the job you have.." - Atom  To be honest I never dream to be an accountant. BSA was never in my vocabulary. In fact, I just learned that Accounting exist when I was about to enroll college. Accounting was never been part of my college choices. If you know me well, you probably knew what was the story behind and how I ended up enrolling in BSA. In short, dito lang talaga ako napadpad. Literal! But eventually, when I realized na I don’t have any choice. Naka graduate na ko, pumasa and all, I learned to accept that I am an accountant. But since being an accountant is stressful, I ended up job hopping. I applied in different companies and hoping to find “the one”. But at the end of the day I am still not contented. Until one day I realized that the issue here is not who I work with. The issue here is what I think. And how I am ungrateful with life. Now, I change my perspective. I learned to be contented and to be thankful when it comes to my ...

Surviving Sagada. Wiw!

Image
When I got married, one of my top places to visit in the Philippines is Sagada (together with El Nido, Bicol, Hundred Islands, Cagayan Valley and Coron) Way back 2009, our church had a Mission Camp at Mt. Praise Assemblies of God in Sagada, which is also affiliated in our church in Manila. We had our bible study, prayer meeting, visitations and others. Oh I must admit I missed those sometimes. Although we had our rest and recreation time, we never had the chance to try the cave connection. When we went in the mouth of the cave, it rained. They make me believe that even in the littlest rain, it is unsafe to enter in the cave. (but later I found out that this is not true) Haha. So from there on I long to try the cave connection. My longing was revived when we saw the movie “That Thing called Tadhana” when the main setting was in Baguio and in Sagada. But I never had a chance to go back to Sagada until I had my official travel buddy! Haha.  Back then, my parents won’t allow me t...

risk?

Taking every risk. Leaving everyone behind. Or the dreams to be forgotten. All the plans that were set aside. Everything was done for you. But as the saying says “the higher the risk the greater the reward or the punishment” but I know in my heart whatever will it be I know what reward will  I gain in the near future so all I can say is ALL THE RISKS ARE WORTH IT 'coz you are worth fighting for.
