finally ... training's over! ive just completed my ojt last friday, together with 7 other co-trainees and we all made it ! yehey!
looking back, the training wasn't easy at all ! in fact, i think it's the most difficult training i've gone thru. it's even more difficult because of other factors like our financial problems and the situation at home wherein only bong and i take turns with the chores. so ... while my co-trainees would just sleep, relax and study once they get home, i'd still have to help bong with the house chores, take care of and do my best to give quality time to my Thiel and worry about my transpo for tomorrow's work. it's really a very good feeling that i was able to hurdle all of those and manage to pass. it gives me a certain amount of satisfaction and of course, gratefulness to my Lord that i've survived!
now, i can look forward to a brighter future for our dearest son. all that needs to be done is to do well at work and always think of my family as my inspiration. i also hope to somehow help my dearest friend, christy. and... i shouldn't forget... i still got some loans to pay ...
of course, i truly miss those times when all my time and attention is devoted to Thiel ... but a mom's gotta do what she's gotta do ... and in the end, all i'd ever wish when i face my creator, is for Him to tell me ... "well done, good and faithful servant" ... because i did what i was supposed to do!

Patience
Just a little more patience ... God is teaching me to be patient ... We're almost there ... Just a little more time ... We're still struggling ... struggling a lot ... like worrying where to get money for my transpo in getting to work till a few minutes before i have to leave the house ... but always, God provides (in strange ways) ... we've sold the fridge .. and soon might also sell one of the things i value most -- my piano ... well, i can't afford to be sentimental now ...
Just a little more time till i receive my first regular salary ... what i've received so far is my training allowance ...
Whenever we eat our meals ... i just think of the "Manna" from heaven .... and those people whom God has sent the manna to ... and complained because they were getting tired of eating it all day and all night .... well, i don't wanna be like them ... i won't complain ... instead, i give thanks to God for the food that we still eat ... and all other blessings ...
I thank God for my very supportive husband ... and i thank God for Thiel who can now speak a lot of words and dances so gracefully and can hold a 10-in diameter ball with just one hand like a basketball pro at 1 year and 5 months ... whew ....
So ... thank God for the patience .... and all the happiness !
