Indeed, He is faithful!

I was on the brink of rushing things; turn in my resignation and just leave without knowing how it was going to be.

That was early June.

Now?  I’m still with my company.  And loving it.  I’m so glad I stayed.  Yes, there are moments when I’d wish I’d left when I had just my toes in the water; I think that’s pretty normal to everyone, wondering how we’d ever placed ourselves in such a situation.  But I’m pretty much all set to dive in.  This is a wonderful, wonderful opportunity for me that I’m not letting go.  At least, not for a while. ;)

Oh, yes.  It took me that long to blog again.  I’ve been quite busy.

=)

Sorry, no domain name yet.

Here’s hoping…

I guess I spoke TOO soon.  (I couldn’t help it; I was too excited when I got that news!)  My adoptive boss (which is the one I mentioned on an earlier post) is actually just that—my adoptive boss.  Because I have another boss coming in and I don’t know what he/she would be like.  I hope he/she would be just as nice as my current one.  Another thing is, I would be completely separate from the HR Department because there would be a new department erected specifically for our job.

So… here’s hoping everything would still be okay.  Still, I know the Lord placed me here ’cause he knows I can do it.  I’m just continually seeking his guidance. =]

God remains faithful.

I never really blogged about it, but I left my previous job on February 25 and decided I’m going to do home-based webdesigning for a while. And then I realized being at home makes me more like a sloth every day, rarely wanting to leave the house, being a couch potato… I also found lots of time cooking, my not-so-new love! And you know what goes with cooking… eating and gaining weight. XP

Anyway, my former co-worker Grace called me last night and she told me to go to this interview at 2 p.m. the following day (which was today) for an HR job at this certain company. I was looking forward to it ’cause the job description sounded really great! So I prayed last night, that if God wants me to have the job, I would have it. And if it’s not for me, then it’s not for me.

When I went home this afternoon from the interview, I was thinking that if I didn’t get the job, I knew would really be disheartened because even though everything happened so fast and that I never expected I would ever get this opportunity to apply—be recommended—for this job, I think it’s just that kind of work that I would love that it wouldn’t feel like I’m working at all. Minutes later, Grace called me and said I got it! Yay me! I’m kind of like scared and excited at the same time, but more excited I guess. Scared ’cause I’ve never had background in HR at all! (Training, training!)

So who’s got a new job? Someone’s got a new job! Me! And I think I’m gonna love it, and I know I’m gonna love my boss! Life is sweet because God is faithful.

Well, hopefully, what I’ve said here would hold true for things to come—I mean, me loving the job and all. Wish you could see me smiling right now! ^_________^

Read, read, read!

(Wow, the title’s longer than the entry. Heh!)

I don’t really have to explain (again) why I haven’t blogged in a long time, but I wish I have.

Anyway, I’m going to get a domain again.  Soon. :)

Just thinking what would be a good one other than my old one angelaeden.com.  (But I still like that one, though.)

I’m going on a trip!

Yay! I’m going to Manila next week! Finally! I’ve been looking forward to this trip for a long time.  Tet and Chito and I have been planning this for several months now, and finally, the time has come.  I really, really deserve a break… It’s not that big an event, though.  Just to visit my dear old friends and waste idle time and have fun and go shopping.  So excited! ^_________^

Claire:  I think yours is cooler.  Anytime your parents get annoying, you just open the window and take off.

I haven’t been updated on football these days what with my schedule and everything. But I caught a glimpse of their new away kit on a UEFA Champions League game against Stuttgart just before I went somewhere last week. Of course, I searched for it over the Internet and found out they’ve got a new home kit too, and I like them. Yay, Thierry Henry!

Much as I love Barça, the orange kit was just a hideous color.

Harry Potter isn’t the only book about magic that I love to read. When I started out working in Cebu City back in 2005, I had no television for several months. So books were what entertained me the entire time I had no TV. I picked what I thought would be a good read.

The Amulet of Samarkand The Golem’s Eye Ptolemy’s Gate

I got The Amulet of Samarkand, and I found out it was a trilogy (The Bartimaeus Trilogy). I was already in Bacolod when I got my hand on Eragon (also a trilogy, The Inheritance Trilogy), which was recommended by my friend (I forgot if it had beenTalia or Rex). What we didn’t know at the time was that it was going to be made into a movie. (I have to admit, though, Eragon the movie was quite off track. I don’t know how they’d be able to create the the second book into a movie—if they were to—without messing up the storyline again!) Along with Eragon, I got the second Bartimaeus book, The Golem’s Eye. Then came along Eldest, the second Inheritance book.

Eragon Eldest Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

The only thing I can remember about Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is that I’ve read about it in the paperback and I’ve been trying to get my hands on it for a long time (since the hardbound copy as close to PHP 2,000!), even going as far as bidding on it on eBay.ph. Fortunately, I happened to drop by National Bookstore recently and got it on sale, along with the third Bartimaeus book, Ptolemy’s Gate (which I haven’t had the chance to crack open yet).

These are just a few of the books I’ve collected overtime (and I plan to post some sort of review for these books later on). But why these specific books about magic and dragons and fantasy? Because you see, being the geek that I am, I do search about these books online as well, find out about other people’s opinions and insights on it, etc., etc. And I recently just found out that both The Amulet of Samarkand and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell are movies in the making. How cool is that? I’m not yet done with Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, but so far it’s a great book, and I can’t wait to see both in the big screen!
