Kuya Jess,

 

Kilala mo ako. I make decisions on my own. Especially on things like this. This isn't the first time you threw me into a situation not unlike this one. And you made me make a choice. And as you told me, I went on with it. Without regret.

 

Pero kakaiba tong binigay mo sa akin ngayon. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. What do you want me to do? Help me kasi I'm cocooning myself again. Or is this what you really want me to do?

Dear God:

 

Thank you for all the great blessings you've mercifully given me. I say merciful because mercy, as you've preached, is only given to those who don't deserve it.

 

Thank you for the great job, for the huge responsibilities that go with it, for all the help, for everyone who makes my life both easy and difficult.

 

Thank you for the grace of wanting only simple things, of not longing so much for grand materialism.

 

Thank you for making me happy with just playing with our dogs, with just looking at the innocent face of Tabebang.

 

Thank you for making me happy just smelling the rain, making it on time for work, and coming home not tired at all.

 

Thank you for Nancy for always bringing me my hot lemon tea in the morning, as i read the first batch of e-mails of the day.

 

Thank you for Jerry for keeping my room clean and orderly in the morning despite me leaving a hurricane in it the previous day.

 

Thank you for my boss for giving me this difficult job i love so much.

 

Thank you for my sister for being the cute maldita that she is.

 

Thank you for everyone in the family for giving me a home.

 

And thank you for that man who is yet to come. I am sorry I am giving you a hard time with all the qualifications I require. But you know, there is no way I'd go for someone less.

 

believing in deus ex machina,

that subsidiary has been bleeding for years. and dying. it beats me why the stockholders won't let go of it. there had been a dozen brilliant and experienced people who tried to revive it. and failed.

 

this morning, i found it shoved under my wings. why did i accept it?

 

i've been ambitious to tell the president i could turn it around in five months. that this july it would leave the red to break even at least.

 

i've seen its financials. terrible. i've seen its lines and boxes. bad. i've checked its data vault. nothing i've seen in the past matched the disarray.

 

give me strength. to lead its people. to perform at their best. to drive its business so it would no longer be the laughingstock among other business units.

 

bless my plan. i pray it works.

 

amen.

Be with mom on her trip to Brisbane. May she be happier there and cope better, even without dad.

 

I ask for your presence during my interviews, so I'll be able to present myself well. Allow me to sell my good points ... counter what they may perceive as confused, or that I may be a possible risk for them.

 

Let me be articulate enough to engage in a successful interview beneficial to both parties.

 

Bless Ate R. so she may be able to meet her financial commitments.

 

Seek Ate N., she needs to change for JDGH and herself. Help her realize she doesnt need S.

firstly, thank you for all your blessings.

i feel that i am unworthy of all your trust

but you continue to shower me with your grace.

 

i know that even if u dont say it

you can read what's on my mind.

things are good, true...

but at the back of my mind

i know it can be better

much better....

 

yes, it's my being hardheaded at work.

so many questions... mix thoughts & feelings inside...

the only thing that keeps me going is my past.

that's where you've thought me

that i will pass all these... if only i believe.

 

once more m in this situation...

a roller coaster ride

m closing my eyes now.

i will believe that even the worse of storms has an end

and i will be left standing

 

... with your grace

... with your strength

... with your love.

i get distracted pretty easily over things i think i want. and i get really impatient and frustrated. i'm sorry for that. but do give me the ability to focus on what needs to be done and appreciated on top of everything. sometimes i forget to thank you and i should.

 

so thanks.

 

and if you still have the attention to spare, could you tell F not to be so discouraged? and that i'm just here? and that when i say i'm mad i'm not really. and that all i really want is... well. you tell him.

 

you will, right?

 

teehee. sorry for doubting. :)

lord, it pains me too much not to be able to fight fairly.

i pains me even more that the people who i thought

will understand because they know me from before

are the same people who are so quick in passing judgment.

 

it's so hard for me to keep my silence.

i'm rebelling inside and it's not easy to make a choice

to be on the 'no comment' status.

 

i can only wish this storm will soon end

and a new day will mark a new beginning.

nonetheless, i continue to thank you for the blessings.

the good ones and even the bad ones.

my faith tells me that i wont experience it if u dont allow it

so i leave things in your hands.

m just saying... a lighter punch will be appreciated.

share ko lang peeps.. ganda eh..

 

The Serenity Prayer

 

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

 

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

Amen.
