God's Graces

I am so grateful with the Lord’s presence in my life which filled me with the warm blanket of His love. Especially for the past week, God’s presence is so visible and heartfelt.

Jan 21, Tuesday – Tatay is safe.

Tatay's car after the accident.

The thing that I am most thankful for to God is my Father’s safety after the car accident in Saudi. Being away from him is hard enough, and knowing that I can’t be beside him in times like this is even harder not just for me, but for our whole family. To nurse him, and be with him as he get well from the wounds and trauma that the accident had caused him is just what I really want right now.  But I trust in the Lord’s mercy and I know that He’s guiding love won’t make my Tatay go through anymore hardship.

Jan 22, Wednesday – Graduation Feels and WICKED.

Wicked Dress Rehearsal ticket from TicketWorld Inc.

Me graduating started to finally sink in after this seminar. A few more months and I will be released in the wild real life. Feelings of fear and excitement are what I have for my future career. Will I do well in Marketing, my first love?

TicketWorld Student Ambassadors.

A Broadway musical added new FEELS in my day. Thanks to TicketWorld, I was one of the first to see Wicked in Manila.  I and some of my fellow Student Ambassadors were given the chance to see the technical dress rehearsal of Wicked, and I was super super lucky to get a seat in the orchestra center. I was in total amazement of the whole production. I would have easily mistaken it for the real performance and not just the run-through. The stage setup, the music, the whole ensemble, everything was fabulous and amazing! Hello? This is Wicked! The Broadway’s biggest blockbuster!! I just had so many feels even after days of watching it. The friendship, the love, the whole message of Wicked just pierced through me and I think it would take long before I can recover from being Greenified. I love Suzie Mathers! I love her! She’s so amazing on stage and I love her Galinda, her Glinda. I fancy Suzie so much that I did some research and read every interview and articles about her. I hope I can meet her again during her stay here in Manila. I love Suzie!! Suzie <3

Marketista’s Challenge: Brain Brawl. Tatay, this is for you!! I joined this quiz bee without preparation. I didn’t even get to study so much and just scanned through some lectures from last semester’s Marketing Management and this term’s E-Marketing. Good thing I learned so much and listened well in Ms. Anne’s discussion. She’s really good in educating and I think she made a right decision to follow the academe’s calling. I guess God sent me the Holy Spirit and is just with me because I was calm and clear minded the whole contest. I was even more blessed to be grouped with very remarkable young marketers of AdU. Thank you to the Panelists who recognized my effort in the case study and given me an individual excellence award. Really, Champion? I did not really expect that. Thank you AdJMA for the Medal and limited edition of AdJMA tumbler, to Mr. Julius with his sincerity through minions, and the 3 thousand pesos <3

Gold-Diamond, May 2012

I know this is just about to happen (in 3 hours after posting this), but I know this will be epic as it has always been every time we’re all together. I am thankful to God for letting me meet such good friends like my Treasures. Thank you to Quinto family for hosting this event and letting us stay in their humble home. See you later my Treasures!!
