A Life in a Box

Considering the fact that I haven't been too active in blogging, I still think of it quite often. The only problem that I currently have in regards on updating my blog, I have no idea what to write on. Not to mention, it's like my journal already.... but I still keep a real paper journal just in case that when I get old, I have something to pull out to my grandchildren, and read some of the weird things that I have done in my youth..... I am not sure if it's supposed to be that way when you hang out with your grandchildren though. Oh well, I will just have to summarized the series of events that happened to me last few weeks.


Unemployed

As fate would have it, things are not getting well with what has been happening. I had to settle things out. Since I was working as a customer service agent, I made a decision to resign out of my job. It took me a lot of prayer, pondering, and consultation in order for me to get to that conclusion.

A lot of people thought I left the company due to the amount of compensation I got, but I basically applied for the job to gain some work experience. There is only one thing I can say regarding of such event, I have grown more mature than I was expecting. And for that, I am thankful for that experience.


Weight loss

Yes, I lost weight. How, you asked? Basically, it's easy! Get sick consecutively. If there is anything that I am very good at, it's at getting sick, and catching something that would cause me to become really ill. But hey, it gave me a leeway to shed some weight, and actually try to look fit (for some parts) with regaining my old beautiful physique. After losing some, I brought back some minimal amount of pounds so that I won't look sickly, as I looked like after recovering from sickness.


Reunion

If there is any description for my family, it would be that we are transient. We get out of the country (Philippines) a lot to work. First part was that my dad left to head to Saudi Arabia, then we headed there right after a few years of tenure-ship in his work, he was able to bring us with him in the Middle East. Not to mention, we go around places a lot too. But since, we moved back here in the Philippines, a lot of plans were made. To say the least was that my dad decided to go back to the Middle East to work, but not in Saudi Arabia anymore. He moved to Kuwait. There, just a few months after, my sister (oldest in the siblings) decided to move there as well. I, on the other hand, was my way to the mission field, though I had to stay for awhile due to some visa reasons And after 2 years and 4 months, I got to get reunited with my younger siblings. But of course, our reunions aren't really complete. Right after my brother stayed with us for awhile, he left immediately to work in United Arab Emirates, in the city of Dubai, where my dad was at.

And to cut the story short, my sister flew all the way from Kuwait, and my dad came back here in Manila to work some stuff here for awhile. It's great to have both of them here back for a little while. And I miss both of them, since it's been like 3 years from the last time I saw them.


So, I guess that is the gist of the events from the last 3 months that just came by. And now, off to veg out!
