He surprised me again!!!

January 22, yes that was definitely yesterday. I was still in my deep sleep when my cell phone rang which was just beside me (since I used its alarm clock to wake me up), I was a bit appalled because when I picked it up I saw my bf’s name on it. Wooohh he’s calling me that early?! Wow! That was weird huh?!

It is weird for me because, he’s not used to call me with that early kind of time. During our conversation, I can imagined that he’s grinning over me, it makes me feel irritated because it’s only five something in the morning, and to think that I set my cell phone’s alarm clock at 7:10 am, to rush myself to get ready at work at nine.

Over the phone he told me to get up because I’m going to be late at work, oh my… he knows what time I should have to go to work, why the hell he’s still waking me up?! Despite of it, I still enjoyed our talks anyways. While in the midst of our conversation I heard a paging and he suddenly hanged it up. Again, that was really weird.

I never mind it at all, though I am a little bit worried because maybe he’s in the hospital since he told me that he’s in their house just lying on his bed. So I was thinking that maybe he’s in the hospital and he just doesn’t want to let me know because I might feel worried. Well, of course I would be worried! Despite of it all, I tried to sleep back though I never succeeded to. So I just opt to wake myself up and prepare myself to work.

When I was on my way to our office, I couldn’t forget those weird unprecedented calls my bf had. Then, when I crossed in the street to reach our office, someone’s whistled on me, so I searched who it was. Tadanggggg!!! It’s him!!! Yes, exactly my bf is there at the corner of our office. My gossshhhh I couldn’t believe it.

Now I realized why he suddenly hanged his phone when I heard a paging, because he was in the airport that time and he’s trying to hide that from me. Ohhh crap, I forgot that my man really loves surprises. You know, we’ve been together for almost seven years and hopefully last to forever. Though our story is truly sweet, but we have to make sacrifices because of the distance we had. Yes, we been together still despite the so called LDR or Long Distance Relationship we have.

Being committed with someone, who you could not be with all the time especially during the especial occasions like Christmas, New Year and more is not easy. You have to have the strengths, courage, the trust, honesty and being patience if you really want to make your relationship last. Asking me why we have a long distance relationship? Well, it is because of his profession.

He’s a sailor; though he haven’t sailed yet on the ship he longed been dreaming but he already have the key to reach it. Yes, if you would ask me if it’s hard for me to handle this I would answer, definitely yes. But I have to; because he’s all I want for life lols! And I know that’s what he wants to. We had been through all the circumstances, but still we’re together, getting stronger and happier. I have heard a lot about the seaman’s motto “Every port report, every place replace” it sounds funny, but I wouldn’t believe that my man can do it, I have tight trust on him and I know he couldn’t do that to me.

I just hope that for the coming years, we still together whatever we may encounter in our relationship.

Black Nazarene Procession

I know that it is late for me to post about the Black Nazarene procession last Saturday. Oh well… think about what day we are today. But I just wanted to share the feelings that I felt during that time. It was totally amazing, self-fulfilling and totally worthy. I admit my feet were really aching and it was really a tiring long procession but I didn’t think of it though. I think about all the different people devotedly following the Black Nazarene.

I wouldn’t consider myself as one of the devotees but I truly believe in him. I am not really religious but I do love and trust him. During the procession there are different people reciting the holy rosary and holding lighted candles. We never bring a rosary with us yet we still recited the rosary and we brought with us lighted candles as well.

Before the procession began, a mass was held in the Cathedral church. We are late in attending the mass, and besides we cannot enter the church already because of the many people inside and outside the church. So we just waited outside until the mass was ended and the procession began. We never had the chance to sit even for awhile since we were in the cathedral church until the procession ended that is why I really felt that day that my feet was numbing. It took us two and a half hours before the Black Nazarene reached his final destination.

What makes me amazed about the procession since some of the followers had physical disabilities. Despite the long hour procession these disabled people together with their wheelchair were still determined to sacrifice. It made me realized that I am fortunate enough to have a complete me, that make me feel not tired at all despite the longed hour walk. Black Nazarene is not just miraculous but the best!

If you are one of those who wants change especially if you are looking still for a job, perhaps the resolutions below could help you achieve your goals in life.

1. Stay Positive—though this kind of resolution is considered as one of the most difficult kind of resolutions; however it is as well the most important resolution to follow if you want to get a job faster compare to your other friends. Most of the employers could feel you, your skills and attitude instantaneously. This is why despite all the situations you had been it is always been great being always optimistic.

2. Broaden your job horizon—do not limit yourself to only one kind of jobs. It would be a good idea if you would broaden your horizon when looking for a job. Though you do not have the skills or capabilities of that certain kind of jobs but if you try you would eventually learn it along the process. This is a good way as well that you could discover the hidden talent that you have.

3. Prove yourself during all the interviews—if you had been just on an interview and you get disinterested after the 5 minutes meeting don’t get discourage immediately. Stay genuine and try to get engaged in whatever the interviewer is discussing with you. Because you will never know that the job they meeting over with you are not the job you were expecting and instead they would offer great job for you.

4. Consider relocating yourself for a position—try to relocate yourself in a new city, town or province for a job position offered to you. Try to look for large establishments with offices around your country so that you could get skills and some ideas where the skills you have are needed.

5. Always prepare yourself for any interviews—always be prepared. It does not matter if you were interviewing to be a cashier or any big position the most important thing to think is that you are well prepared of your interview time.
