Looking Back at the Year That Was

It’s 2009 yahoo! Well I have a lot of things to be happy and thankful for. 2008 has been really wonderful as a whole, although I could not say the whole year was, but if I were to look at the blessings that I have received towards the end of the year, I can say they totally surmounted all the not so good things that had happened during the first and second quarter of the year.

Last year, I resigned from my job at Eversun Software Philippines Corporation a.k.a Agents of Value (AOV). Although the pay is fine, I had to make the decision to quit the job mainly because I am no longer happy with it. Not that I am not happy with my job, but not happy with the environment – the lousy admins (who were all after the positions that they were holding), some officemates who would do anything to discredit people (the crab mentality that Filipinos have). Don’t get me wrong. I do have several good sincere friends in the office.

It is just a pity that such a good business and a good owner (Danny Sullivan) had to suffer because the admins are not looking after the welfare of the employees but more on protecting themselves.

After resigning from Eversun Software Corporation a.k.a. AOV, my days have been peaceful, and definitely blessings have not stopped pouring in.

I am just so thankful that God had been so good to me and my family. My brother Mark and his wife Glenda finally got their immigration for Australia approved and Glenda is now pregnant with their very first baby! My other brother Michael is also leaving for Dubai by January, and of course I am definitely living a much more comfortable life financially. I am just overwhelmed with all the blessings that God has poured upon us that it makes me realize God never ceases to reward those who do not maltreat their fellowmen.

Letter for Santa Claus

Two weeks ago, I encouraged my nephew to write a letter to Santa Claus. His very first time to write one, since he now knows how to write well and spell correctly. I was surprised to see two letters which he inserted in the leaves of our Christmas tree at home. A very simple wish. To get a toy car and bakugans (boys his age are going crazy over bakugans). I captured a picture of his letter to Santa and I'm sharing it here.














Last Sunday, my nephew was rushed to the hospital because of difficulty in breathing. He has asthma and my sister has been nebulizing him at home but perhaps his lungs can no longer handle it. He was diagnosed with bronchopneumonia on both lungs. As of today, December 23, 2008, the doctor cannot assure us that my nephew will be discharged from the hospital. Oh boy! This means we will be spending Christmas at the hospital? :(

As a kid I have always believed in Santa Claus. We would hang socks on the eve of Christmas and wake up to seeing our socks filled with presents.

Now that I am all grown up, I no longer practice hanging those socks nor waiting for Santa to come over and give me some gifts. But this year, I have the urge to ask Santa a favor for my nephew. Please pray for my nephew that he gets well really soon. It's Christmas and I would have really loved it if the family could spend it outside of the hospital.
