Well, this is overwhelming


Sa sobrang overwhelming, this will be a late post.

It was last January that I came up with a game plan. I have no job, I have no interest or whatever strong desire to start working but I have some applications here and there but there's nothing that really demands me to be active to. I have no idea, real idea what to do. I succumb into reading and harnessing my own personal demands but then I realized I have to do something and that is to maybe just maybe, I have to try taking the exam. I cannot say that I can fully stand on my decision because if you would know me, I'm the most indecisive person you'll ever meet. It is all thanks to Friend (Annalyn) that without her knowing, she made me completely decide to just take the test, just take the risk and try.... I was amazed by her determination to take the exam and enroll in a review center. With Friend's inspiring determination and my best friend's encouragement, I have fully stand on my decision to take it. Me on the other hand  have no money and I don't want to bring any burden to my family by asking 10K + for a review center. So I borrowed my best friend's notes (from her previous review center for she already took the exam last year and passed it :D ) and decided to self review everything. That's my game plan. Self review while being "tengga".

I remember being frustrated about not having a job and kinda sorry for myself although I was so sure that such situations have reasons and God have some sort of a plan. So...habang wala pa akong trabaho, I studied (or tried to), refreshed my mind and set myself. I didn't tell everybody that I have plans on taking the exam, I tried to make myself useful at home and somehow focused on strengthening my spirits. I prayed and prayed and listen to worship songs that's my alternative while my other friends went to different churches. I read that taking a board exam needs 60% prayers and 40% study. That's what I did and oh, what a joy.

Sabi ko nung mga February, what if di ako makapasa, saan ako babagsak? I doubted myself many times that I don't know how to count it. I prayed for a job that will suffice me for a time. May it be temporary but something I can focus on if I failed. That would be my contingency plan. Then last June, got a job as a reliever just here near our city, just a month before my board exam. Before that job, I have completed my requirements in PRC and nothing to worry but the exam itself. So, I was fully on board and the blessing of a supposed plan B - the job. Took the exam, prayed to the Lord many times. Asked for acceptance, strength and courage. I can't even begin to describe how my faith saved me on these stressful times.

Basta.....it was overwhelming. Up until now, if I would reminisce what happened before, during and after the exam, it is a roller coaster ride of emotions. But it is the Lord that saved me from my worries and a possible insanity. There are many things to be thankful for and lots of people that marked during that journey - those were the chosen ones: my parents, sister, brother, lola, tito pac, titas, cousins, best friends (duque, dana, seatiel, monica), friend annalyn and other close friends who believes in me (jen, charmaine, nico). Sabi ko, kapag nakapasa ako, bibilib na talaga ako sa sarili ko. Sobrang unexpected talaga. Pero ang nangyari, mas nadagdagan ang bilib ko ke Lord. Marami pa rin akong kakaining bigas. Naeexcite ako sa mga pwede pang mangyari.

(Can't describe how happy and thankful I am)
