A New Year and A New Beginning - January 1, 2008

After our Media Noche last night, my sister and her family went home while my brother Mark and her wife Glenda stayed. They went home after eating breakfast today. In the afternoon, I went to SM mall with my Mom and Dad. As we were on our way home I convinced my dad that we visit the much talked about People's Park after dinner.


My nephew was very excited when I told him we were going to People's Park. We had a hard time finding a parking space since the place around People's Park was filled with vehicles. We had to go back to Ponciano Street and take a right turn at Bonifacio Street. We finally found a place to park just in front of Apo View Hotel. Tons of people were inside the park and the place was really huge! Well now I can see why so many people are saying the park is overpriced. It is really expensive! Just take a look at the structures and the flooring. Plus the fact that it covered a very large area. Maybe those people who keep saying that this park is overpriced have not seen the entire structure of the park itself.









It was just sad that we had to cut short our stroll in the park. We were not able to really stroll the entire park coz it started to drizzle. My nephew begged me that we stay. We told him we will just come back some other time. But he was already going to cry coz he got disappointed. The time it started to drizzle was also the time that we were near the childrens playground. So i told him ok ok just a few minutes coz you might get sick. His face lightened up and i grabbed his hand and we ran towards the playground, not wasting time coz it might start to rain heavily. Good enough we had just about 15 minutes to let him play in the playground then we hurried home.

The previous year has been fairly good to me. I was able to find a job without really exerting much effort at applying. My resume was spotted at www.bestjobs.ph by Mam Cora. A few weeks after, Mam Cora resigned and I was appointed night shift OIC. After a few months, I had to make a tough decision to choose my client over my position as part-time PM. It's hard to serve two bosses and excel on both, especially now that the number of agents just keep growing and it's getting harder to write unique articles with keywords that i have already written about for several times. I am happy with the decision I made.

I was able to help a friend get employed, was appointed contest adviser to the online game that I play, gained new friends, gained the respect of my fellow agents, earned thru my job, learned how to write seo articles, won 3rd prize for the seo contest, and of course bought myself a new cellphone! (after 4 years) hahaha! Of course I have to thank the Lord for I have been fairly healthy for the past year. Despite the demands of my job to work the graveyard shift, I have been healthy and in fact gaining weight! waaaaaahhhh....

I have also learned some valuable lessons the past year.. being humble and keeping myself grounded despite all the blessings will give me good karma... standing for what I believe is right and fair and speak it out if I have to... not to step on other people's shoes... I have always believed in karma.. what goes around comes around.. I believed in the power of prayer.. Not only to ask for help but also to thank the Lord for every little blessing I get... People may wish to put me down and make me look bad in the eyes of others.. I may be defenseless.... but the Lord will continuously watch over me and will definitely not let things get out of hand.. for He will not let evil succeed over the good.
