After 1 week of not hearing from my would-be employer in my work-from-home job venture, I had received the formal job offer I'm waiting this morning.
Tomorrow is my last day in my current job and I'll start with my new venture on Monday. The coming days will be busy as I tend to some government papers and prepare myself to the start of a new beginning, career-wise.
Amidst all of these, there's one thing (or person) I'm really missing. But I know that God will provide for my needs.

After The Storm
The weather has improved now. The storm has passed. I hope my mom's health will follow. And I hope this means the same for all the things I'm going through now.

Trust God
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
I know that God will get me through this. Even if it's killing me now...

Virus Attack
Seems like everyone in this house is having problems. First, me and my mom. Next, my computer just cultured some virus which wont allow me to connect to the internet and making me format my laptop again. Then, our satellite tv cant get signal. Good thing local antenna is working. Oh well. I hope this is the last of the list of misfortunes and after this, all good things will happen.
Life is Too Short
I received a shocking news when I logged to YM this morning and talked to my friend at work. One of our colleagues, 10 years my junior, died in his sleep. It was said he had nightmares. His body was discovered 7:20am today.
It's really shocking. We're not that close but there are a lot of things he can still do. He's not even sick. I wish, before I go, I'll be able to do the things that I dreamed of.

Another Day at the Hospital
My mom and I had stomach flu due to a Sponge Gourd or Luffa Actangula (which we locally call Patola) we ate for lunch last Sunday.
This was the second (or nth?) time we were victimized by this vegetable. I'm not 100% sure it's the patola but it most probably is. It's refreshing to eat with noodles and soup, but I dont know what's in it or what causes the upset stomach. This time as well as the previous time(s), it was an overly mature patola.
There was a funny bitter taste to the patola noodle soup we ate last Sunday which is unusual since patola should be a little sweet tasting. My mom thought it was the chicken liver which was an ingredient of the soup. I love chicken liver but I didnt eat it thinking it was what's causing the bitter taste. When I'm almost done, I tried a bit of the chicken liver and found out that it's not what's causing the bitter taste.
6 hours after eating lunch, I felt something funny with my tummy. I decided not to eat the patola noodle soup for dinner and told my mom what happened to me. She said it's still good and went on to eat it. Then, the nightmare came lol.
This time was doubly hard since I'm feeling sick myself but have to tend to her as well. Good thing that we just stayed for a little less than a day at the hospital and both of us are feeling better.
All in all, it's a tiring, expensive day but I'm still glad we're now back at home. Hopefully, this will be a lesson not to be 'too thrifty' where food is concerned.
