I pray that the worry you had from last night has already fallen to the ground like a fruit broken down into a nutrient nurturing a better positive thought.
Then Covid happened... In August 2019, I got a call from a Sydney land line number while at work. I took it 'cause we have office in Sydney, and thought maybe it's someone from work. Turned out, it's someone from Forex Cargo . It's a freight forwarding service that I have used to send my first ever balik bayan box to PH. The person on the other line told me I won the major prize on their promo. I'm like a deer in the headlights cause I never joined any contests recently (though I do have good track record - read here ). The prize? A two round-trip ticket to the PH from Forex Cargo How did I win this? By sending a balik-bayan box to PH. Again, I did not even know they have a contest at that time, I just genuinely required their service... and won! This was the email I got: Hi [Full Name Redacted], Congratulations, you’ve won the GRAND PRIZE on our Forex De Mayo 2019 Raffle Draw Promo. As the winner, you are entitled to Two (2) return flights (flying Philippine Airl...
I was contemplating if I will share this here. This has been living on my notepad for a while now, but I thought I never intended to not be genuine on this blog (it's personal blog after all) so why not. This is my box of feelings as I contemplate how far I am from the image of God, but thank God for his grace. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit +++ FOMO / Doing things only because others are there Leviticus 26:11-12 I will make my dwelling among you, and my soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people . Looking at the messenger instead of the message Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active . Sharper than any double-edged sword, it p...
Our work from home set-up at work has been extended once again. We started working from March-2020, so it is going almost two years now. Though we've been back to office in some form in between, WFH seems like a permanent fixture in most of office life now. I actually started working from home even before Covid. After my maternity leave, I went back to work full time in 2018 but I requested if I can do the WFH set-up twice a week which my manager at that time agreed upon. I am really thankful about that, but it does came with challenges (as we now all know as we are all doing the same set-up). However, at that time I have an additional layer of challenge, I actually got anxious thinking people might say I was not working when at home (lol) which I can say hand on my heart is not true, even so I can say I work even more when at home. By the way, in the period pre-Covid that I've been doing work at home, never have I ever received any feedback from my manager about me not workin...
