......at 28!

Whew... its 12:00 a.m, July 15, 2005..... I'm officially 28 years old!!. yipeee!!!

Unfortunately, I'm here in my office. =( I decided to extend my working hours to do some extra tasks assigned to me that needs to be done immediately.. haaayyy....

Well anyway, I decided to temporarily stop working at our lab by this time and take some moments to reflect on the 28 years of my life... i cant imagine that this is going to be this fast, without knowing that few more years and my age will not be reflected on the calendar...
When i was in my highschool years, I was thinking of what will I be--parang gustong gusto ko na mag mature at maging grown up. And its good to see that its really nice to be an adult---though there's a lot of worrying (!), responsibilities, success and failures.
And now, I'm thinking of what will I be 10 years from now?.. parang nakaka-pressure, kasi , parang 'ito na ito!!' ...Actually, what i'd like to point out is that my vocation should be clear to me by this time----
I was very fortunate and I'm really grateful to God for all the graces He has given me--all these years. I often felt that I was always protected and saved by God. What can I offer him?? I can only offer a prayer of gratitude for all the things He has done to me..

" Lord, maraming salamat po sa lahat-lahat.., sa paggabay sa aking mga desisyon, sa pagaalaga sa akin, sa pagtatama sa aking mga pagkakamali, sa pagkandali sa mga oras na wala akong matakbuhan, sa laging pagbibigay ng paalala sa mga pagkakataon ng ako'y nagkakasala...

Salamat po sa pagiging isang kaibigan, kapatid at higit sa lahat , sa pagiging isang ama na laging nagaalay ng kanyang pakpak upang maging aking kanlungan sa oras ng kapahamakan.....

Patuloy mo pong ituro sa akin ang bagay na laging maglalapit sa iyo at ibukas ang daan ng isang bokasyon para sa akin kung saan matatagpuan ko ang tunay na kaligayahan, makapapamuhay ng may dignidad , at magiging kalugod-lugod sa paningin mo...

Katulad ng ginawa mo sa akin sa loob ng 28 taon, ipnagkakatiwala ko sa Iyo ang aking buhay, kasama ng aking pamilya, kaibigan , at lahat ng aking mahal sa buhay...

Amen.....
