My contract with TMC is only up to July 14. And until last week, I've been so anxious on what will happen next. Last monday, (july 3, Pasig day, non-working holiday) I went to Cityland to try out their opening. Since it's a Christian company, and my mom knows a few people working there, I tried it out. They told me to wait their call this coming week.

Um... there's just one problem. I don't "feel" the workplace. Well, I know, hindi ako dapat maging pihikan sa pagtatrabahuhan ko. Kasi, baka dun na pala ako gusto ilagay ni Lord. Baka yun na yung workplace na pinrepare Niya for me. Tapos nag-iinarte ako. Edi I missed what He wants to do for me na. But then again... yun pa rin yung nafi-feel ko. Ok. Let's just say... habang nagtetest ako, wala akong naririnig na iba kung hindi typewriters. And, everybody looks old. And it was just one big office, lahat ng departments andun na. Parang faculty. Same table. Same sizes of table. Lots of papers... Dito nga kaya ako gusto pagtrabahuhin ni Lord? Well... I'm not that sure yet. But if it's His will for me to work there, I will work there.

Then this entire week that just passed was like a huge crossroad before me. I had an oppurtunity in TMC.

Kasi ganito, hindi pa ako naeevaluate kasi. Eh sa 14 na end ko. Hold na nga sweldo ko eh. Sabi ng recruitment namin, pwede daw ako ilipat sa ibang department-- sa Medical Quality Improvement, research assistant. Item daw talaga yun kaya may chance talaga na maregular ako. They advised me to stay in TMC kais maganda daw yung benefits, specially yung health benefits. After praying for it, I decided to take the offer. Wala naman akong ibang offers sa ibang company.

On the day that I was scheduled for an interview with the head of the MQI Department, a news came from one of our staff--she over heard that our training manager is in need of a training staff. And she is considering me. I was... thrilled. A little. But at least, if it would be true, I won't have to leave HR dept. Anyways, I waited. Before I go home, kinausap na nga ako nung manager. Yun nga daw, she is in need of a training assistant. A person who is creative who can do leg works in training and at the same who can speak and facilitate seminars. Kasi ngayon, nagpapa-accredit ang TMC internationally. They call this Joint Commission on International Accreditation. So naknakan talagang dami ng trainings in preparation for the accreditation this comming october november december. So yun. She asked my background, what I am doing right now. I told her I'm involved in our creative arts ministry. Man, she was so thrilled! And it was good thing that we share the same faith. She's a born-again Christian as well, a super active member of one the ministry in their church. (But I hope her relationship with God is as active too.) She asked me if it's ok with me to facilitate seminars. Honestly... well, guys you know me. I don't speak that much. But if I have to, I will speak up. By God's grace, and by God's g I will speak up. So I told her that. So I told her that. Leg work is fine with me. But talking is not much my forte. But I want to try it. Actually, while we were talking, I was excited to take the job. I asked God to search my heart. Baka kasi surge of excitement lang. Tapos sa huli, magsisi ako. Pero, hanggang ngayon naman yun pa rin nafi-feel ko.

So ayun... finally nung friday nakausap na rin ako nung manager namin (mam noys). And she asked me if the arrangement is fine with me. I said yes. She told me that my status would be neither casual nor probi. It would be a project basis that would extend till around march 2007. By that time, according to mam noys, I might be able to get on board.

This coming week will be my transition week. Hay... Praise God for what He is doing in my life. Pray for me. For clear directions. I'm happy for you all! God bless.
