She Won!

My sister won! Right when we thought her chance of getting included in the top seven was already dismal, our kabarangays proved us wrong. Spending only a meager sum of twenty-four pesos (PhP24)for her photocopied flyers, and given we don't have alot of relatives who could vote for her in the barangay,she was truly a less likely winner. Why others spent as much as 500pesos for each voter! But yes, she won... oh my God, she won! One hundred three people believed in her! One hundred three sincere votes of faith. One hundred three votes of confidence. Third out of fourteen! 
We'll all be right behind her as she fulfills her mission. 

To God be the glory!

Happy Fridays!

Now more than ever, Fridays have become my favorite day of the week. It is exhilarating to look forward to the 2-day(but this time, a 3-day weekend! hurray!) respite from work, to delight in the company of loved-ones, to enjoy the serenity of home, and to savor more of life’s little pleasures. 

Fridays make all the week’s rigors worth going through… 

Thank you Lord for Fridays!

Bureaucracy

Its been a month since I began my work as a full-fledged public servant. The acculturation process is slow, exciting, nerve-wracking and also, intimidating. But amid all the anxiety, confusion, fears, and negativity, I am happy to enkindle a budding sense of pride to belong to an agency that literally labors hard to further the causes of the hardworking Filipino. Lord, help me remain serene so that in everything I do, I may bring delight to You...
