kwento lang :)

one more week to go! pahinga na. haha :)

our most dreaded defense on business incubation wasn't as terrible as i thought it would be. in fact, ms. boq and her accountant were more than satisfied at the progress of our business for the past year. we were able to reach the required 20k net profit--an impossible feat if it weren't for God's grace.

kate finally gave our share from the earnings. and i could not believe the amount i got. haha. it was more than what i expected to receive. i remember telling myself a few years back kasi that i would open my own bank account before i graduate from college. and it did come true! haha. :) i was so happy when the teller handed me my bank passbook. all the hardwork paid off. ganun pala feeling when you receive your first hard-earned income--mapapangiting aso ka haha :) again, i owe it all to Him.

also had my last exam on taxation. pauso talaga yung prof ko, mala "are you smarter than a fifth grader" ang format ng exam. we were given three "cheats" -- save, copy and sagot ng nakararami. kamusta naman yun? :) anyways, i'm gonna miss taxation pati si atty. marc hahah :)

after the exams, all of us headed for the toga fitting. as i placed the toga on, it dawned on me na "oo nga, malapit na..." but i'm still at a point na i'm still not sure what God has in store for me in the future--yung specific plans nia. whatever it is, i just know i can count on Him. it won't do me any good if i worry about the future kaya nagpakasaya muna ko. haha. had lunch with my brothers at jack's loft. and one thing hasn't changed--i'm still their laughing stock. i always get teased for my big hands kasi and madz, yana and ate em even named my hands after "flash bomba" haha. ganun nila ko ka-love. :) i'm gonna miss them soooo much. haay...

night! :)

odd one out

had a very late dinner with my brothers at gerry's grill libis last night right after the comex awarding. kate, jena, madz and pam brought their boyfriends with them and so i felt like i was the odd one out. i ended up being their official photographer and the night's laughing stock. haha. but twas really fun. madz was kind enough to drive me and jena home. it was the first time in four years that someone from my college friends dropped by at our house. it has become a regular joke that i live far from civilization and last night i was able to prove them wrong. haha.

i made jena spend the night over at my house, finally! haha. a sleepover has been in our plans for a very long time and finally before mag-graduate nagawa din. :)

the following morning we went to Playground, our supplier in timog, to pick up our orders for the couple shirts. nakakabadtrip. we were there at around 11 a.m. and they finished our shirts at 8 p.m. the part that sucks the most is that we had to make our customers wait until the next day for our deliveries, eh hello?! valentines na by that time. buti nalang the staff at playground were apologetic naman so there was no use for kamalditahan on our part. haha. ang hirap magnegosyo. kaloka. but it was the best learning experience ever. and good news, we were able to reach a net of 20k which means pwede na kami grumaduate! thank you Lord! :)

so three more weeks to go, rehearsals na for grad. there are still tons of unfinished school work but i'm savoring every single minute doing it. i'm going to miss the pressure of making it to every deadline. for four years parang dun umikot ung buhay ko. haha. enough of the senti mode. haaay... so i guess this is good...night :)

Crazy Weekend

went to divi on a rainy friday afternoon with flip flops on. i didn't know that it was gonna rain that hard. my gosh. amputek. my feet had mud all over and kate was joking na parang lupa na yung paa ko kaya pwede na pagtaniman ng halaman. haha. super haggard and super pagod. but the night wasn't over for us yet. we were supposed to finish the web site we have to pass for our e-onine class but we ended up having a bible study instead. i did miss our "quality time" and it was the best moment to catch up. sumobra ata yung "catching up" kaya we barely had time to rest before waking up again at half past five in the morning to prepare for an early conference at the Asian Institute of Management.

i was disappointed when francis kong didn't show up for the event. bummer tlga. he was the only reason why i wanted to be there. i once heard him speak at one of our org's conference two years ago and i think he is one of the best motivational speakers around. nevertheless, the whole conference was still inspiring thanks to mr. rommel juan and professor jun bernardo of AIM. the conference wrapped up at around 1 in the afternoon. i was so drained after the event, tapos nagka-problem pa sa manufacturer ng couple shirts na business namin. kaloka.

pambawi nalang talaga pag sunday. one of my students in sunday school returned to church after two weeks. i was kinda depressed when he decided to attend another church kaya when i saw him para kong nabuhayan uli. the kids and i welcomed him back and i was like "awwww" when i heard him say "dito na lang ako" huhu. tears of joy :)

syempre my sunday won't be complete without going to camachile for our cell group. we started with a short devotion before going to our usual round of praying on the street. we talked about holding on to our mission of serving him amid discouragements and hardships. at the end of the day, what matters most is that we have followed his will. some of our attendees weren't able to show up during our session but God sent 9 new comers in their place. we studied "you are not an accident," the second chapter of the purpose driven life. one soul accepted Christ. i bet the angels are rejoicing in heaven. and God was probably smiling too. :)

and ok na uli kami. so that's the best part. everything i've been through this whole week became more bearable. :)

p.s. i'm feeling a little bit groggy because i've been putting junk into my system this past week, i've been all over fast food joints for breakfast, lunch and even dinner. i need super colon cleanse. haha :)

nytie :)
