WPS

There is this program that is developed by a Chinese company. Sa fone man ni sila naho unang nakit-an lagi and I made use of their programs during the pandemic. Kay sajon ra man magtype ug Word document and all that with their program sa fone. Last September 27, 2023, I was forced to download it to my computer kay ang file nga gipada ni Mam Genie kay WPS man lagi. Anyway, today 9/30/23, wa ko kaagwanta. I uninstalled it oi kay I want to stick to Microsoft Windows. Mamiss man gud naho tong Word lagi nga automatic mocapital letter ug ang smiley. Hehehe. Nice man ang template sa WPS for presentation but adto n lng jud kos Microsoft lagi. Cge po and happy weekend. Kusog n pud kaju ang uwan this afternoon. I told Mam Genie man diay that Monday n lng mi meet pohon para atong costing nila lagi. If madayon n ko atong tutor pohon nga sa Tabok ra Insular Residences, dapat half day ra jud ko nila Mam Genie aron makapahuway p ko lagi.

Mao man jud ni unta ang easiest way aron makaadto kos Hawaii. Because they are originally from Washington, DC man cguro but they eventually created a Hawaii office. Didto ta ko lagi paeskwelahon ni Aunty Helen before. Mao man toy pinakadali lagi nga paagi nga makaadto ko. As it is, I went to Holland man lagi to study in 2000 to 2001.

Pwede daw full time, 40 hours per week, or 30 hours ra or even 20 hours. I said sa part-time ra ko. But let's see when the decision comes pohon.

PURPOSE

Simple ra kaju ang advice ni Ate Ica naho last night. Declutter your mind from unncessary worries lagi daw. Then ask the question, unsay purpose sa ahong life now so that sajon ra lagi kaju ang life. Salamat Ate Ica, I love you always and I'll keep you posted. Then I talked to Mam Raquel Bercero too. She said di kuno makapugos ang CDU naho ug return service kay wala man ko nila bayri ug 24 units lagi while I was studying sa Silliman University before. Kay ug ni Mam Raquel Bercero p, wala lagi daw privilege nga I was only paid my actual units. Kay kung gibayran p ko nila ato ug 24 units, makapugos man sila naho ug return service. As it is, naay gamay complication kay nihawa n mn lagi ko with them. But dia ra man tawn kos Pilipinas lagi oi. Makontak ra man japon ko ni Mam Jhe Macarimbang kung unsa may decision sa CHED. I told her last month man when we were talking about it that I hope CDU will not ask me for the return service lagi. But if they would insist on it, I said balikan n lng naho ang 5 yrs. Total makakwarta man pud ko pohon. Makapalit n ko ug ticket to go wherever I want to go. Win-win situation ra japon. Amen. Edward also told me not to move anywhere coz the house in Tubigon and the house here in Cebu are assets daw in order to make my life easier. Okay po. People age better daw if they have less stress and less adjustments. He said remember that I look forward to seeing you again. I said yes, sa Seattle n lng pohon during the conference. Salamat sa support and encouragement kanunay Edward. God bless you and your loved ones always and aloha! :)

Hehehem thanks to CDU SHS Entrep class jud and Anton Codeniera in particular. But then the Brother saw that I used to be a CHED scholar lagi kuno so unsaon kuno ang ahong return service. I said that is what I'm waiting for because I submitted my withdrawal documents to CHED last 8/9/23 and CDU specifically si Mam Jhe Macarimbang asked me for some documents. I told them that I hope CDU will not ask me anymore for return service coz I was teaching man lagi with them while I was on study leave. And I was not paid 24 units during that time; only my actual teaching units ra ang ahong bayad. I will wait for their decision. They might decide not to take a risk on me. Sige lang, tua p pud koy daghang options man lagi. Amen. I have a teaching demo with The Enest School in Vietnam at 4pm today. Tua p pud feasibility study nga gibroach ni Mam Genie Matildo for a hospital daw in Tandag. But tua n may numbers lagi for feasibility, so unsa p may iyang kinahanglan mahibaw-an?

BONG SAGUING: TURNING YOUR DISAPPOINTMENTS INTO BLESSINGS

I do listen to this preacher from Christ's Commission Fellowship (CCF) once in a while. From his above talk about 3 yrs ago that I saw from Youtube, he said disappointment is God's appointment in disguise daw. Kanindut! He related the story of Moses. He spent the first 40 years of his life daw thinking that he was somebody, then the next 40 yrs thinking he was nobody then the next 40 yrs to being extraordinary because he allowed God to work in his life. God looks for nobodies lagi daw in this world in order to shame the wise. He said don't focus daw on your weaknesses but focus on the Lord's strengths. Retire doesn't mean daw that wala n kay buhaton but it means to re-tire, change your tire coz you still have a mission, something to do. Salamat po for all these inspirational messages po Lord. All praise and honor and glory be to You. Amen!
