143rd Post - The Real World

Okay, let's talk about living a life in the real world.

When I was in college (4th year), thinking about that word made me feel.. *ugh*, I don't want to earn for a living or I don't want to go to that stage and leave my friends behind or pwede pahinga muna? and a lot more. But when I got my diploma, one question popped out in my mind.. 

WHAT'S NEXT? 

Three months after, I began to know more about the Lord. I was so thankful for having Him in my life and He revealed to me that I must move forward with Him and prepare for the next chapter. Two or four months of job hunting is too long but the Lord continually gave me patience to surpass this part. I began facing challenges (some are unexpected) in between those months but because He told me before that I must prepare, I followed Him and I succeeded (thank You Lord!). I finally found a job that suits me and it's official; I'm now in the real world. Bring it on!

First day of work? Honestly? Ayun, pasaway, I was late and I didn't follow the proper work attire and I was thinking "baka masisante na ako kaagad" but thank God it didn't happen. From there they introduced to me my workplace and I said to myself, "uy Mac." LOL! (short for Macintosh) The following days, I started knowing the entire team and some inside the company  na kahit papa'no you need someone to talked to when you deal with stress. Had my first project on the second week and guess what? Developing a website using PHP (yun oh, I'm so excited and my hands are ready). At that time, I prayed that hopefully, I'll finish this project and will be a regular employee after six months.

From that point, I missed my social life hanging out with my family, friends in school, at church and even inside the subdivision and meeting almost everyday with #waybee. Sabi ko nga, welcome to the real world Kevs and you need to stay focused on what needs to be done every time; as what others say "every second/minute counts". In the bright side, I was so blessed that I've learned a lot of things in the real world like earning and budgeting (just like in the college days), using my breaks wisely (because they assigned me in a graveyard shift) and of course driving on my own.

HERE WE GO!

As the result of working hard, dumating na ang aking inaasam. Thank You Lord for the opportunity and for guiding me in the right path. I'm contented of what I have now and I won't waste it. Nga pala, regular na ako!

"Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you," - Hebrews 13:5

What I Love: Music and Choral Singing

MUSIC 

In the past 4 years before I entered chorale singing, the word "MUSIC" is within me and it is where I express my deepest gratitude (to God primarily because of the talents He bestowed in me), my emotions whenever I'm getting tired of everything and after seconds/minutes, my tears will fall, so emotional,ey? and lastly happiness yung tipong pangkatuwaan lang, isang "request" ng song, tutugtugin mo na!

I was so blessed to have these talents bestowed in me.. Lord salamat po talaga!

CHORAL SINGING

 I started to join the group/organization inside the university, my faculty where I finished my 4-year course, the UST One Voice Engineering Chorale.

At first, boses-bata talaga ako nun, although dati naman kumanta na ako sa church with my co-sacristans then as I entered the university and had my first general assembly in the faculty I saw them performing and there I gained my interest to join the org.

After months of training and commitment. I wrote a blog entitled "We Brought Home The Trophy!", that was my first taste of victory. Every year, we welcome the new batch and there I see positive changes in the group, parang ako dati, nung sumali ako. And lastly after the competition (we shouldn't forget this every time we are in on-stage), we never forget Him, our primary inspiration by singing a thanksgiving song that our conductor arranged.

Thank You Lord for having all of them in my entire college life, continue to bless each of them because Lord, we are an offering. :)

Finally Made It!

March 19, 2013 - the much-awaited Baccalaureate Mass in our university, kumbaga para sa'kin eh "checkpoint" ito towards graduation. My sister told me "kailangan mo i-enjoy yan because that event is more awesome than your graduation" and she's absolutely right. That moment when you are writing your thoughts and "thank-you's" in each other's uniforms, humbly stating our pledges and cheering our faculty so loud (nagkaroon kasi ng paligsaan in between colleges/faculties when it comes to cheers, but even though that happened, we're still ONE, it is more fun in our university ika nga!). And of course, hindi mawawala yung fireworks display, we need to see our tuition fees in the air, LOL!. Kidding aside, while recording it in my cellphone, I saw each faces that you could never explain the happiness in them (pero alam ko kasi iisa lang patutunguhan namin but seriously we spent 4-5 years and only God knows and can  count each of our experiences we had inside the four corners of the university). Almighty God, thank You for   that special day, I won't forget this spectacular event. And lastly, we're getting out of the Arch of the Centuries which they call it, the Thomasian Exit Walk. Sobrang saya talaga itong araw na 'to, as if it's your first time riding a rollercoaster, that feeling you can't explain.

April 4, 2013 - graduation entrance and recessions, presentation of candidates for graduation, giving awards to those who worked diligently and stayed so long in the university/school, graduation speeches (which is NOT OBVIOUSLY very long) and the most awaited conferment of degrees (turning of the tassel in the graduation cap). Those were the remarkable moments in our graduation (in my point of view) and of course I was one of 1,213 candidates in our faculty who "patiently" (talaga?!) waiting to call my name at the stage.

As what my profile pictures in Facebook said:

"Natutuwa lang ako sa mga ginawa ko dati nung nag-aaral pa'ko, yung tipong nagfaflashback lahat ang mga pangyayari (paghihirap sa THESIS, NETWORKING at iba pang mga major at pati narin mga minor subjects at pagshishift ng course).

And FINALLY, battling for four years in college is now over. I guess hindi ko na kailangang magdoubt or something because GOD planned this for me. I'm so glad that I'll be wearing my toga and receiving my diploma this graduation.

All of these, I lift up to You, oh GOD because without You, I am nothing"
