purging … ;=)
hmmm … i haven’t blogged in a loooooong time! … i think this is the longest i’ve gone without posting anything … yeah, i usually post something once a month! 
i guess i know the reason why i haven’t posted in more than 2 months … you see, i went back to my MBA again and one of my subjects is online — pure online! all we do is read and post in forums what we think of the articles … and for the last 2 months, i’ve always been a buzzer beater, or worse i submit past the deadline … like few minutes past the deadline! i haven’t blogged since that will look really irresponsible if i have updated blog postings and delayed forum postings for my online class! see, makes perfect sense, huh?
anywho, today i had the itch to write something up … not that i am a model student now in my online course … (though i finished the required posting for today already … with 8 hours to spare!!!) … i just felt the need to unload again! hehe … blogging is cathartic! here goes …
- i just had my 32nd (20-12th!) birthday! i am officially off the calendar … I had a surprise ‘kiddie’ party in McDonald’s last week … a first for me! It was really touching! actually, my birthday this year was particularly very special … i think i celebrated it for about two weeks … still celebrating … with people greeting me even until now! i wonder whether they know what the actual date is!
- i attended the NLTC (National Leaders’ Training Conference) for ALNP (Ang Lingkod ng Panginoon) in Ormoc, Leyte! My first time to join NLTC and my first time in that part of the country! i’ll reserve what i learned in the NLTC for another blog … cannot really share it right now since it’s not victorious yet — it’s a work in progress! i am hoping to get my answers within the year … hmmm … less than 2 months to go!
- i had my first job interview in 11 years! yup, i am seriously looking for another job … it’s not all talk now — i am actually doing something about it! BUT (big BUT!) … i told the interviewer that i can only leave my current job in another 8 months! haha … who self-respecting prospective employer will hire me?!!! i gave my word to my current boss that i will finish the job … and i haven’t really prayed about it! hmmm … i am doing this backwards again … i laid out my plans, acted on it … then will pray about it! 
i really should change the way i am leading my life and making decisions … i guess, this also goes to the work in progress thingy i mentioned above!
- i saw this book when i was idly browsing in the bookstore: ‘Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? Trusting God with a Hope Deferred" … interesting book!!! … i basically picked it up because it sounded so much like the book by Joshua Harris, "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" … and true enough, there was a foreword by Joshua Harris and he was actually the one who coined the title! I bought the book and have started reading it … on chapter 2 now! Chapter 1 was pretty funny, something i can totally relate with … it is entitled: ‘You’re still single?" … (i guess if it were up to me, it would be titled: "You’re still single?!!!" anywho, pretty interesting read so far! i’m really not putting all my bets that i will figure out the utter mystery of my still single state … (since i really don’t think it’s such a big mystery after all ..) but i want to be at peace with the fact that people are called for different purpose … mine is singleness for now, it can change in the future (hopefully!) … but i need to make the most of what i have now … else, i will miss out on the blessings! … i think my life has been that — i look so much on the future and wait for the unknown that i miss out on what i have and what i am at the moment! hmmm … this will be another blog again! hehe
what else do i need to purge from my system? … hmmm … i am trying to ‘purge’ someone from my system … i’ve told people that letting go is a process … a loong process! … and that it’s present progressive! haha! i think it’s long overdue … my good fold was long overdue! but it’s getting there …
