2/29/12

This day happens only once in every 4 yrs so today must be special. I sure hope so!

I've alrdy helped out my sister and her family as much as I could so the rest should be up to them. I do wish them all the best!

Now that that thing is behind me, I now have to think abt my future --will I stay here or go to KH again? The only question that comes to my mind is 'Why would I decide to teach kindergarten again there?' Lord help me, I don't have a clear answer yet.

We have 2 more weeks of classes then it will be vacation time. I'm thinking of getting my ticket for PP this week. God bless me in that decision.

Happy rare February 29th everyone!!! :)

Charm?

They say that the 3rd time's the charm. I dunno abt that, I'll see for myself soon. Basically, what will I find in Cambodia the 3rd time around??? ;)

I first went to Cambo in 2008, cross country from Singapore. I was able to work there as a kindergarten teacher. Cute! Then I went home in November '08 and I went back in Oct '09. I stayed on till Oct '10 when Mami Sering got sick.

I was able to visit in October 2013 with my mom who passed away just weeks after that. Now I'm planning to visit in end March. Adto ko stay kang Juvy Jumawan. I think she still lives in BKK; I hope so para city center ra.

Good luck to us all. God bless all our plans! :)

New Year 2012

I want to start this year right so as early as now, I'm trying to do things right in my life. Good luck to me!!!

I wanna get married this year so let's see if I'll be successful. I'll give it my best :)

PhD Again

I have to be here in Cebu/Philippines this time simply bcoz my family needs me. I do miss PP everyday but I just cannot be there. Besides, the job I found here is much better than there.

I will shoot for PhD one last time in Utrecht. I'm working on the research proposal. If madawat, I might start ig January next yr pohon. I have to be here in Philippines and I cannot go on a paid leave yet so isingit n lng n sya with my work pohon. Okay ra man sad coz I don't have to be there man and they won't charge me tuition. I plan to apply sa NUFFIC for the funding. Hopefully it will be enough. If dili, ngita lain source/s.

God will take care of everything. I entrust everything to him :)

Decision Time

I like it here in Cambodia, Lord. But the jobs I found are not that good, I mean, I am not secured in my work and I am not teaching fulltime. I found an opportunity with a language school but gamay ra pud allowance. Right now I'm asking for a higher allowance coz lugi ko if gamay ra ila ihatag no?

I pray for the best. If wala jud nindut moabot, uli sa Pinas by Sept. pohon. God bless my plans!

Words

Words don't come easy to me
But you will always be

I am going to miss SEDP, Legazpi etc.
But I have to go home
I have been away for far too long!
Will see you soon...:)

Nang Anel

My eldest sister, Nang Anel is now working in Metro Manila. I am happy for her. Hopefully dire-diretso na to coz she has to prepare for Biboy's future.

I feel all the more that it is time for me to get married. Eyyy, I keep the faith!

Happy Mothers' Day!!!

Letting Go and Moving On

I am now in my 2nd house here in Legaspi City. I find myself alone in the room again.

I got to think about so many things last night. Yes, I do want so many things but I cannot have them all. And I realized that I don't want to be alone anymore. So I thought, uli ko Cebu pohon, work ko in Mam Genie's recommended post then plan to get married. I think if I'm lucky enough, I can get engaged (or even married) before the year is out. I keep the faith.

Wisdom

I pray that God will give me the wisdom to know if I'm doing the right thing or not.

Minyo na si Araceli, ako nus-a? May said 'Go'. Yah I will, soon.

Why is life like this???

Little Things

This time here in Legaspi has really made me see the blessing in little things. In nominal terms, my salary is small but the institution is very generous. I look forward to the continuous outpouring of blessings.

Di lang ko kalikay nga sungugon ko nila pirmi about why I'm not married and when I plan to marry. Magmadre ba daw ko?

Still I think everyday of where I come from and where I go from here.

I am simply happy about it! :-)

Right Move?

Did I do the right thing to work here in SEDP Inc? I am simply swamped with work! But I need the NGO experience so that I can work in an NGO in Cambodia in future. I can plan to live there for good.

Today he bragged about his official result in the marathon. I keep the faith. Good luck to us!

New Year 2009

Today I thought I would go back to PP. But then, this evening Jovic called me. I wasn't able to answer though kay lowbatt. But does this mean I am meant for Legaspi na? I hold on. God will show me.

Happy New Year, allemaal!

On the Agenda

Today I thought about my life and I came to the conclusion that marriage is definitely high on my agenda right now. Unya na ng eskwela. So, ngita sa ko new permanent job then pwede na ko magminyo. Good luck to me!

But I still miss Singapore. Maybe I should also make it a point to go there. And this time, stay. Asa na man ko ani oi? Mora jud ko'g buang.

Happy New Year, allemaal!

Nepal

I would've gone to Nepal in 2005 had I joined the refresher course on Children, Youth and Development. I was preselected for it. But the stupid me went to Singapore instead and made my life miserable. Kaya nga sabi ko kay Leeyaj, I cannot turn my back on ISS, Leeyaj. He said 'U did na nga e'.

I suddenly miss my Nepalese friends, foremost of them Salony and Lava. How are you guys? Good luck to us all!

I'm Gonna Miss PP

Yes, indeed. I am gonna miss this place which has sheltered me when I was going thru the process of letting go of NUS and of USC. But I know in future I will be back.

Despite my NUS fiasco, I also wanna go back to SG pohon. I have very good friends there --Sheryl, Yuka, Rica, Niña, Tanya, just to name a few. I would love to see them again.

But first, I have to go home and ayusin things in my life. God is with me, I keep the faith.

Close

Today I close a very important chapter in my life. With Mam Ching's email, I know that I am not going back to USC anymore. Di na ko para didto.

It is time to fork a new road. When God closes a door, He opens a window. I keep this faith. Amen.

Teach cguro ko English pohon, kuha ko ESL ceritificate. I am quite good with languages naman di ba? Why did I choose Econ ba all this time? Then huna2 pa pud ko law. Kapoy na na eskwelahan oi. Tama na holding on. The old Heide has gone, the new has come.

It's not too late. While there's life, there's hope. Pray lng gud ta. Amen.

Should I stay or should I go?

I received my first ever pay in Cambodia yesterday. Kakwarta na tawn ko diri after a very long time. But I can't help but think if this is what I really wanna do. I feel that I'm only doing this coz I don't want to keep asking money from Ate Jing anymore. Uni-Lu acknowledged receipt of my application and they are just going to screen it daw. It's now all up to You, Lord; I just keep the faith.
