Harry Potter... the Boy Who Lived... the Master of Death...
I am amazed at the twist Rowling has brewed for the Harry Potter series. I think no other author can do what she did with this international reading sensation. The plot gets richer and richer with every page that you turn. Enemies turned allies, allies turned enemies. Useless object becoming things of value. I am just so happy that in it's epilogue, Harry and Ginny finally found a nook in each other's person. And children... Loads of children!
I need to get a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Whatever is written on it is a must read. Hoping to get my copy by next week.
I spent today enjoying a full day off without TESDA! Lucky enough, there was no new lessons today. They had to endure another day at the Main Hall watching the finale of TESDA Idol... Copycats we Pinoys truly are.
Lucky that I have rest today and finishing off the book lent to me by the kindest Team Lead around. (God bless his heart!) Looking forward to new lessons tomorrow! Life is so GOOD!
GOD IS SOOOOO GOOD!

Lost for Words
Milestones versus dreams... Stepping stones versus life at the peak... One TESDA classmate said that I don't give time for myself... That gave me such a pause, for me to think about life as it is right now. It might be true that I don't give myself as much "entertainment" as the world would gauge it BUT...
and again I say BUT!
Life right now is a roller coaster right. I am pursuing the dreams that I thought died in the busy routine of life. You are right. Being in a call center is routinary. But it is really up to your person, yourself what you are going to do with that routine. Are you going to make it rule your life? Are you going to be comfortable with it that you won't accept any challenge that would come your way?
Even if I am 1 month on the floor and let me say 1 month of taking calls, I still come to a point where I am flabbergasted by one or two of the customer's concern. I will NOT say that I know it all in 1 month. I still have the butterflies in the pit of my stomach. I will not allow routine to get back at me again.
Last Sunday, I attended the 8 am service. (Saw some of my friends and for some reason they disappeared before I could get to talk to them. YES Pau! I saw you and Hanna with Mommy!) Anyway, I saw the worship team. The dream of being in that team is still there. The dream that the Lord show what I am going to there IS THERE! There, burning in my heart.
BUT! I know it is not yet my season to be back. It is not yet the season for me to step in. I am following my dreams. And along with those dreams, IS THAT DREAM! Nihonggo classes is my stepping stone. After that JLPT. After that I am looking into parttime studentship (if there is such a word) And finish up 2 years of Business Admin. Masteral, maybe. But all I know is that my Father in heaven is orchestrating something bigger than me. Something bigger than all of us.
I missed blogging!

Living the Dream
Wow! First entry for August! Hope it's not the last.
I am enjoying my life as a call center agent. I am confident to say that I have adjusted to the lifestyle, the late hours and the team I am now with. I told my mom one time, "It seems like my faith in God is being built stronger outside of the church, than the time I was within the walls." No offense. But I feel like I am getting more dependent on my God factor every time I set-up my tools for a work day.
It's my DAY OFF! Feels like heaven. I am so pre-occupied with a number of things that would not have happened if THE BIG MOVE did not happen. First, I am enrolled in a Nihongo culture and language class under TESDA. I am GMA scholar! At least before Madam President steps down from her position I am able to benefit from one of her projects for the Filipino youth (I still belong in that category! Hahaha! Believe it or not, 3 people in the same week told me that I don't look my age. I look younger! Wahaha! Victory!)
Secondly, after finishing this TESDA class, I will also be reviewing for a LEVEL 4 Japanese Language Proficiency Exam in December. I want that accreditation for the longest time that I've been wanting to study Nihongo.
Believe it or not, our class is tackling Hiragana and Katakana now. A bit overwhelming really and it's gonna take me some time to get used to the writing of their country. I know I am making progress. (Pau, I need to borrow some Arashi and L'Arc music materials.)
Well, that's all I have to say for now. Til this wretched internet connection gets restored.
Pray for me... CONTINUALLY!
