Hello, hello!

It's been a long time since I last blogged about what I do in life. I know that I don't have a lot of people who care to get an update about me, especially not in this website but I so want to write about what and how I've been doing lately. So, please bear with me! :)

How am I doing rn?

 I'm actually great. I can say I'm learning a lot about adulting. I just claimed my first ever atm debit card! I wonder how it feels to have my savings in the bank and not in a glass jar anymore. (I actually still have a glass jar for my coins in our bedroom but atm card is a bit more legit, right?) I'm also thinking of getting insurance even if I don't have that huge salary, and I'm hoping and praying that even if I'll be paying for the insurance already, the money that will be left in my wallet will still sustain me, but really, God sustains us every day in our lives, so why worry?

I'm not doing any physical activity as of the moment. It makes me feel so fat and very potato, but I gained weight and reached 50kg!!! Isn't it amaaazing? I was actually worried about how I gained belly fat and all that but reaching this weight is really something because I'm now capable of donating blood! Well, I still need to gain a little more weight though, but it's one step to getting there.

I'm becoming less of a clingy person than I was back in college. I was so clingy with almost everybody; things changed a little now. I'm only clingy to a few close friends I can just count them with my fingers. Sometimes I just find it more reasonable to stay at home during weekends, or just being alone somewhere. I admit I still enjoy being around with friends but sometimes it feels like staying home is more peaceful. I still love overnights and sleepovers though, and if anyone would ask me to hang with them, I'd like us to sit with a table between us and spend the rest of the time talking. I also love trekking, please invite me!

(See, I actually don't know what I'm saying already. Hahaha!)

What do I do rn?

 Last year, 2018, I've been asking and praying to God for a job after I passed the Agriculture Licensure Examination, that was July 3, 2018, when I got the news *confetti*. I was a total couch potato for the rest of the year. I tried applying to jobs online, even asking my friends and random people if they know any company that's hiring, that I might want to apply to of course, but instead, I was back with my first workplace--Minindal Cuisine.

I was a part-timer there, and it lasted until the first week of January 2019. A few days before I left the restaurant, I applied to two jobs: one from a private company and the other a government agency. Unfortunately, I didn't get the job that I really wanted that was from the private company, instead I got the latter.

I'm currently in my 3rd month with my job in DAR Region X right now. First and foremost, I didn't expect to get this job because 1. DA is the only bureaucracy that I considered applying, 2. I don't like the too-much-office type of job, and 3. hello, 4 years of farm/field exposure and I got used to it and I love it and I want to work with one!

But guess what, God's plan is really unpredictable... and exciting.

You can ask me if I love my job right now and I'm most probably going to answer you that no, I don't, but I can say that everything is still a work in progress, including me. Having this job made me realize that there are things that I don't see that need to be corrected, and actually need improvement. I get reprimanded a lot of times, it hurts yes, but I know I need it because that's how we learn, isn't it?

So I guess that's all I can say about my current situation right now. If there's one thing that I would like to highlight in this blog post, it's "me being a work in progress." And I know God is with me in every step that I'm taking, and He's the reason for this progress. I also want to be reminded that in everything that I do, at the end of the day, to glorify Him is still my priority.

Raw

This has been kept in my Notes app ever since I decided to write down whatever I feel inside while I'm in this "transition"–in hopes of properly processing my emotions. See that there are dates indicated because I intended to keep everything in one note for some reason. I originally entitled this note "boop". Just to be clear, everything that you are about to read is raw and unfiltered; I didn't change anything before posting this. All of it is 100% true as dated. So here goes my vulnerability... boop  [Some time in May]   I don’t know but sometimes I feel empty. Literally. You know when you want to make time for yourself just thinking about anything but nothing comes to your mind? And then eventually sadness kicks in. I don’t know where this sadness comes from: is it an overflow of what’s inside my heart? Is it because I feel like I’m just showing a facade to people? Or is it because of the never-ending longing of God’s comfort that I don’t get because I al...

Stranger Who?

Image
Some people like making conversations. Small talks, long talks, whatever kind of talk. It's the fact that you get to know a person's perspective when you talk to them. Asking random things and such. You won't even care if you don't share anything about yourself, just as long as you're making a conversation with someone else, that's all. But then it's different when they also want to know about you. It's different when they are the ones asking you random stuff, and when they seem like they really want to know the reason behind the things you do and the reason for your decisions, your preferences—it's bizarre. Being the one who always asks, some people would think you're also the type to share a lot about yourself. The thing is, you may actually share a lot of things to people but only very few of them know what exactly you are thinking when you say or do things. That's why it's a little bit hard to compreh...

Landslide by Tiny Habits

I just listened to Landslide by Tiny Habits (originally Fleetwood Mac), and it compelled me to write another blog entry... “I took my love and I took it down” Morning of January 1, New Year, I finally decided to cut the chase with the guy that I like and been in contact with since last summer. I like him so much, though it only took me less than a year of getting to know him. He said he wanted to pursue me even though we were physically distant from each other (we met online). I allowed him. It didn’t work on my end. He couldn’t grasp the idea of actually making time and have intentional, genuine conversations with me. I know myself enough to ask that from him. I like him so much, but I had to let go of him––of the fact that we're not gonna work. I’m in the middle of participating in our local church’s annual prayer, fasting, and consecration, day 4 to be exact. Before I started reading the supplemental booklet, I grabbed my old devo journal and read my list of faith goals last 202...
