new year new opportunity

Well, it didn't take long for the New Year to shine on me, I am now faced with a new project a whole lot of possibilities. Maybe this is the one, I am just glad that I am not losing hope, it kind gets down right depressing at times when you keep on losing jobs and opportunities that you have hoped for. But then again, I have always believed that if it wasn't for you then it wasn't meant to be for you no matter how much you want it.

Sometimes you pray so hard for things to happen that you do not see that what you have always wanted is already being given to you in a different form. I sometimes think that I have so much problems and worry too much about them but when you look back at it; hey, I'm still getting 3 squares a day and none in my family are sick unlike others who don't even have roofs over their heads. I guess sometimes we just don't see and appreciate what is given to us or what we have.
So now I look at things in a different light, this based on my experiences the last 5 years. I have been and will always be patient and thankful for everyday that I wake up in the mornig...since others don't.

I will keep my trust in the Almighty for he knows what is best for me.

Failure only comes from within andcannot be blamed on others. I am fortunate to have family and friends who are out there always lending a helping hand.

I will keep you posted on the developments as they happen.

the year that was 2007

We bid goodbye to 2007 and welcome the new year with an open mind and a hopeful soul. Last year was not a good one for me as I lost my Mom, it did bring our family closer though. A lot of things did not happen for me but I am still hopeful that things will change. I lost my job again but was compensated for it but still, the way it happened was not very good, you think you are working with professionals....but damn, office politics sure screws things up. I just hope karma doesn't catch up with them.

I learned a lot of things this past year, the most important one is patience, not that I am unfamiliar with it but I did learn to give more leaway to other peoples way of thinking. After all, not every person is the same and you don't expect them to act the way they should. I have learned to roll with the punches and to wait for my turn...(been waiting a long time though), but as the saying goes...Patience is a Virtue that gets rewarded.

Oh and yeah, I got to travel again...for free! I am now up to 35 international cities that I have visited and almost all at no cost to me. Part of the perks of the job I guess.

So what am I looking for to the coming year....good health for my family, that's it...I don't ask for much, I figure if we are all in good health then we can work for a living and that pretty much takes care of everything. I am not putting all of my hopes of getting my US work visa this year, I just have a feeling that I would get that job I am hoping for, the one that puts me in financial stability. I have paid my dues, well so I think, and I think this will be a good year for me.

So, I wish you all a Happy New Year and may the best of last year be your worst this year., keep praying and keep hoping, if you lose hope then there isnothing to live for.

Cheers.
