Books

I've been working in Logistics for the past three months, and the best thing about this? I am clearing the books that enters UAE from the import that the buying team buy from UK and US's publishers. My love for books has grown more deeply with the job that I have. I can check the books and what's it is about and I can sometimes borrows unedited copies! I have been knowing what's been best selling.

Christmas 2015

It is the last workweek for year 2015. Christmas yesterday was fun with church people at Zebeel Park where we had presentations, games, and of course, food! Most of us forget the longing to be with family during this season.

So 2016 is coming. Praying that every plan will be according to God's will for my life. Last year, I was planning to go abroad. This year, it happened. This time, I am planning to go back and find a job in PH. I need to remember I need to lay all my plans to Him who makes  plans work out for good.

Currently: Working on Saturday Duty.
Feeling: Bloated from all the Christmas eats plus jaw pain from yesterday's fall.
Wants: Afternoon sleep when I come back to flat. Visit Mall to buy something for family. Buy balikbayan box soon.
Needs: Withdraw funds and transfer remittance. Exercise.

Christmas in 5 Days

Not my usual December days. It is my first Christmas away from my family and it ain't really cool.

Today's thinking, as well as the other days: Going home. Enduring each day til the day I reach my second goal. There's so much I've learned from the past 7 months here abroad, from people, to work experiences, to really feeling the homesickness and agitation of going home. The dream of going abroad for work has been with me since college and thank God it came true. I am very thankful for this answered prayer but I often catch myself thinking of going home already.

But since I can't just go home without hitting some goals, as I always say, quitting with a goal, I am trying to endure the days til I get to go home.

I miss traveling with my friends, going out for dinner with family, and walking around our own house, and feeling that home-feeling-like-theres-no-place-like-it-anywhere-else. Merry Christmas, PH!
