hello ms. vicky. i cant even fathom the agony you are going through right now. and i know the best way i can reach out to you is to let u know m praying for you. keep on trying and praying and hoping for the best. i can honestly say i have been there. its painful. the thought of uncertainties can wear you down. reach out to your family and friends and keep on networking to folks you know who might refer you to the next job. be strong and of good courage. Our Good Lord understands your pain and He will help you go through this. there is a song by Yolanda Adams - Only If God Says Yes which inspires me. part of the song goes like this:
"But I'm learning I was never meant to go alone
Neither was it meant for me to go on my own..."
cheer up... it will come...
btw, last Fools day was yeah - sort of my bday. hahahahaha. i know.. i know.. funny isnt it? the biggest joke of my life. lol. but i am more than grateful. i know i am special because my mom said so. i think my husband agrees too. lol. took a day off (and so was Jacob. but me - i've been really stressed at work for the last 1 month so i know, i know i really need a timeout away! so it was just me and Jacob as EJ was in school) and we spent the day the in beach. amazing thing was the weather was really nice. we cruise along Highway-1 and just enjoy the sound of the waves. then we had a fabulous sushi for dinner at home - just me, Jacob and EJ. my 2 boys were extra nice to me (well, it did not come easy - before, we have all agreed that if its somebody's bday, we need to be extra nice to the person - even for a day!). no chores for me yesterday. i joke about it how mayroon din palang day off ang katulong. hahahaha. but today - eto - back to the realities of life. m actually working now. wooossssh... hayyy.. but this morning, i accompanied EJ to the First Robotics Competition in San Jose State University. we had fun! anyways, catch y'all later. muwahhh...
thank you so much for the prayers. belated happy birthday, hindi nmin na track ang mga birthdays. isang mahalagang kaibigan din ay bday nya nun April 1. okay lang ako ang totoo naman I have work sort of temporay lang ang maganda lang eh God is always good. may nag-offer nman after this temp work which ends in May sigurado ako God will place me in a right position, not in the front or left but in a right position, perpendicular and side by side :) anyways there are times trials just came and distract us just to test how strong we are as sons/daughters of God. the good thing is i took everything in a positive view, that's why hindi mabigat. maraming salamat ulit sa prayer. ingat lagi kayo.

ReplyDeletehello Ms. Vicky - hayyy naku sinabi mo! actually, m an Oracle/MySQL Database Administrator, though right now, we are just using MySQL. we manage more than 1000+ MySQL databases running on Linux/Sun/HP. yeah, my life pretty much evolves right now with maintaining these tons of databases, plus all these new application code releases in our environment. it can be pretty tiring but, mahirap din maghanap ng work dito. sometimes lang tamang emote, like today, meron na namang re-org, like some uncertainties that u dont know the future of ur dept. e kaming mga `abang manggagawa, ala naman say! hayyyyy... this week, naka-pahinga ng unti physically kaya lang sort of mental torture naman kasi m attending the MySQL Conference here, lots of things to read, study and evaluate. lol. when ur in IT - non-stop learning. minsan rin, kapapagod but yeah - this is the life we live. i count my blessings everyday including the challenges, that way i get reminded that m just a steward of all these gifts, and one day, i will have to give account on what i do with it. its all good! ingats ka parati. muwahhh....
ReplyDeleteang tindi pala ng work mo hindi abot ng aking abang utak. yayaman ka dyan sa work mo. yun linux na yan pangarap ko na lang hehehe baka tumindi ang migraine ko kapag i-attempt kong pag-aralan ang mga yan. susme baka matanggalan ako ng malay. hindi ko nga alam ang MySQL na yan kung hindi ko i-consult kay Google. anyway bright people deserves bright future and humble people deserves messing around. gusto ko lang relax ayaw ko ng tension gusto ko kita-kits na lang lagi with MRTC da barkads kain, inom ng konti at humagalpak ng tawa hanggang sa magkandaihi hahaha. ganito siguro ang feeling ng getting younger:)
ReplyDeletesya, hinay-hinay lang. imagine hindi kaya sumabog ang utak mo dyan sa 1000+ databases na yan, di bale sobrang laki nmn ang utak mo para mag-absorb. hehehe.
oh ms. vicky - m humbled by your complements. but trust me, i've worked (still does) and met some uber-super-geeky folks who i call like walking encyclopedia! i welcome this sort of opportunities because that means i have to push myself to work harder too. but then, eventually, i realized i have my own gifts to give and share, and that i can only be me and put my best in everything i do. :D its a continuous process and challenge for me. but its all good... btw, here in CA specially here in the Bay Area, the cost of living is more expensive compared to other states and cities. so ur income gets to be divided with ur expenses. we live a simple life - i think thats the key, still the privileges of living in California costs more! hayyy.. ganon talaga ang buhay ditik! the cost of gas nga dito is now $4.25/gallon.... o well. buti na lang din i work a lot from home now. kahit papano, nakakatipid ng unti sa gas. there was a time, i worked in South San Francisco and i live on the other side of the Bay, naku, its like 62miles total back and forth everyday. nakakiyak ang cost of gas ko per month! and i worked there for a year! wooshh. ! eto nga kakatapos lang din magbayad ng tax kay Uncle Sam. hehehe. i remember Luke 12:48.. "when someone has been given much, much will be required in return..." kahit ang sakit sa bulsa, thankful pa rin for the privilege! btw, m very happy that u guys still get together. inggit naman ako! ano ba, gwapings pa rin ba ang dating ni Allan? :D may hepa na ba sya (as what we use to say for folks coming from the Middle East wearing all these gold blings)! hehehehehe. anyways, stay cheerful. ingats ka parati! muwahhhhh...
ReplyDeletekamusta na? oo guwaping pa din kahawig pa din nya si Leonardo de CAPRIO...:)
ReplyDeletesummer na dito sa atin, madaling makatuyo ng damit at balat..
ingat dyan kayo lagi.
