la lang...

Sowee again dearie, for not updating u up this past few days..

anyhow, today as I go my way to office, i happen to sat beside two ladies talking of their application/interview experiences, on how it is hard to find a decent work that pays not that much but suffice for their daily expenses.. they chatted animatedly, with words i find amusing.
I've remembered way back when I was fresh from college seeking oppurtunity to work in Makati. I have with me one hundred pesos, a borrowed corporate dress and my portfolio (CVs and other credentials) Its common for a newbie to got lost in the vast area of Makati, finding the offices for the interviews, exams and so on and so forth. I spent almost a month looking for a job. I am fortunate to say that i have with me referrals, (for Ibank) which was i fervently prayed that I got in and have the job. Weeks passed but no news so I applied again for possible vacancy, this time (it was Pres. Erap's era) Bingo Filipino as ( i dont remember the exact position) luckily again, before I got signed up with BF, Ibank called. and the rest is history.

I also remembered when I got my first salary (6100 a month) ive kept my first payslip as a token.hehe. I felt that I got Big time then, (for I got used to having just 500 pesos as a bigger money, of course after saving for it for a long time) thinking what would I spent for that money. Well, my mother knows best. She bought every basic needs we would be needing until such time that i got hold of my second salary..hehe.. I do remember buying big box of pizza as a treat for my family. ( good days, good days..)

Now, as I look back, still nothing spectacular happens, we dont own bigger house, we dont own a car, nor a business to tender to. But the years spent working just to help my family is a happines I never ever forget. I dont mind buying clothes for myself, or treating myself to a spa, got my hair fix, lighten up my skin tone, buying cosmetics, jewelries, any common treat for a normal lady like me. I would think first of what would be best for my family, for my sister. Even though Money is scarce, we still managed to go through. But I still have my dreams of providing enough for my family, where if time will come that I have to start my own family, they will never be left behind without any support. I know its hard but ive got faith that it will happens. In God's own way and time i know he will sustain me to be able to provide what i wished and hoped for my family.

well, enough for this, I just have to work out first on how can I save much for Ate's delivery by next year. got to be more spend thrift again..

I am simply thanking the Lord for giving me whats my due, for sustaining me and lifting me up when life is hard, for making me come through where I am right now. I believe that whatever happens in my life, His hands is skillfully designing the paths for me. I love my family as I love and serve Him.

Life isnt that hard to live eh? Life is so short so why not do it right and enjoy it most.

ciao!
