this is it

It  is scorchingly hot in here in Manila. Its pretty uncomfortable. To take a bath twice a day is not enough to keep the skin hydrated. Its a good thing I am coming back to Baler this weekend. They say it kinda rain there often.

By the way, its final, OJT is over.Yahoo! Yesterday we took our evaluation forms from the office. It was such a pleasant experience. We had picture takings also. I was delighted with the result of my apprenticeship. I faired well based on the ratings given. I am really thankful and happy. I really worked hard to get it. Everything that we’ve experienced are all worth it. If I will be given the chance to go back in time I will still choose the path that I have taken.

Before we finally head home Ms. M talked to us in her office. The conversation we had is very enlightening. It is a kind of talk anyone would love to have. She’s like our mentor. She gave us some advices in getting a job later on after graduation. Some of the main things she told that registered very well to me are her advices regarding confidence, saving and surviving here in Manila.

She reminded us to be really confident with ourselves and to help others help themselves. She also said that when the time comes that we are already earning our own money we should prioritize saving. And of course we should take care of ourselves. It is not selfish to love oneself she said. When it comes to our career she reminded us that we should always have goals and targets. We should continue to improve ourselves and broaden our expertise. After each year we should look back and reminisce on what we have done in case we are still the same career wise.

I really admire Ms.M. She embodies the making of a modern woman. She’s her own person – confident and self assured but nonetheless very down to earth and cares about other people. Not only that she really looks good. Its sad though she didn’t let her picture be taken. She also mentioned that her lines are always open for us.

With all these I am deeply thankful to HIM.

I know this is not the end instead this is just the beginning. But I will rather take it one day at a time. I’d rather feel each moment than to rush things only to feel wasted when the destination aimed for is reached.

I love my life because He gave it to me. I will treasure it and I will keep on going. Our life ends when we stop believing.

Whatever the circumstances we get into is temporary so I choose to enjoy but I also always ready myself to let go. I will always share myself to anyone who would like to be a part of my life but I will always try to work hard on keeping myself whole no matter what.
