Footprints in the Sand


One night I dreamed

I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,

other times there was one only.

This bothered me

because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,

when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat,

I could see only one set of footprints,

so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord,

that if I followed you,

you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed

that during the most trying periods of my life

there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most,

have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied,

“The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,

my child, is when I carried you.”

- by Mary Stevenson 1936


Twilight fever


I watched the movie "Twilight" yesterday and I found it very romantic though it's more interesting while reading the book!!! Edward Cullen in the movie is not as godly as the book described him but he is so handsome and dashing while Bella Swan is very beautiful in her own right!? I remember Edward saying "I promise to love you forever, every single day of forever" to Bella which made me giggle a lot!? I can't wait for the next movie!!!

Jobstreet escapades


I don't know what got into my mind, why i pass a resume in www.jobstreet.com, an online hiring/advertising company but then I just told myself if I will not have any feedback after a week, it means, my fate is to only be a student till graduation. on the next day, I recieved a message from Jobstreet to come to their company on Monday for interview, that's why I thought maybe i will not remain jobless after all.

In the lobby of Jobstreet, I observed that everybody is speaking in English (with the slang on the side) so I tried to blend in by talking to my seatmate in English while waiting for my batch, which is Batch 11, to be called. A few minutes later, Ms. KC called our batch for interview, we were 9 in the batch, I was very nervous, still I was able to answer every question she asked me. After the interview she told us to wait in the lobby for the results of the initial interview. I went to the restroom afterwards, when I came back my batchmates are gone except for the 4 of us. my batchmate whom I dont remember the name told me that Ms. KC gave them a letter stating that they failed the interview. For a while, I am relieved. Several minutes past an intern called our name and told us that we have to take the exam, Well, the exam is quite difficult but I managed to pass it! Unfortunately, the other girl from my batch failed the exam because of her slow speed of typing. After waiting till 6pm, they gave me letter recommendations for teleperformance in Sucat, which I decline because of the location is to far from my school and in ePLDT Ventus.
