February 21 2008


It was a typical Thursday for me or so I thought. Was not able to go to work for some reasons I've been sickly these past few days. Mind you my mom was waking me up every now and then to ask if I will be going to work and I just keep on telling her that yes I will but I didnt get up.
Got up at around 11am, went straight to my parent's bedroom and just flip channels every now and then. Katrina sent me an SMS at around 1pm stating that she had a dream that she passed the board exams, I just dismiss the thought and replied "nu bah!"I forgot all about it then at around 4pm she texted me with a link of where to get the exam results together with the message " ate I passed daw pero confirm ko pa" With that I immediately went to my bro's laptop trying to log in to the website with the intention of helping her to confirm if she did passed. it didnt occur to me to try and check if I passed since I also took the same exam. While waiting for a hit on the site, Brenda, one of my officemates called me with this message " Ma'am 8329" and she keeps on repeating it and honestly it didnt mean anything to me until the other people around her Chantal and Pj were rooting "congrats ate rae, ang galing" That time my heart was pounding so fast that I am already crying saying "tol wag ganyan, di magandang biro" over and over again. Then finally Brenda told me, "ma'am pumasa ka sa board" I honestly cried, and up until now while typing this I am crying. Still I dont want to belive it, I still keep on saying to brenda " tol, walang ganyanan o, please, ayaw ko ng biro" then I think she already heard that I am already going out of my mind and being hysterical about it she said "ma'am padala ko link sayo, screen shot ko pa"the line got cut, my brothers who were suppose to go get some shut eye was not able to do so because I was screaming and crying all over the house that they dont know what is happening to me. I told my kuya to help me check if I did pass, and for some weird way we cannot get any hits on any sites. I was shaking, crying while waiting for any site to load. Kuya said "yang, sana pumasa ka na nga, laki na rin ng hirap mo e" then after waiting for practically forever, we got a hit, then i was shaking while both me and kuya scroll down through the names and when we both saw my name we both screamed, yes even my kuya screamed.
I called my mom gave her the good news and she was so happy, She reminded me what she keeps on telling me " The lord will honor me and seek first the kingdom of heaven and everything shall be added unto you"
I am so blessed and I am so happy. That night just before I went to the office, my mom thought of seeing my dad in the office to deliver the news, I was not fortunate enought to talk to him and I so wanted to see his reaction. So we went there and ask if he can see us for 5 mins. He did, he thought there was an emergency. I delivered the news with a frown on my face saying "pa, lumabas na yung result nung board" papa just looked at me then smiled I know I didnt have to say it, I jsut smiled and he just hugged me. For me that was more than enough. For all his hard work this is it. After that, we wanted to leave but papa said "wait lang hug ulet" I know and I can feel how proud he was of me and for me that was the greatest feeling, the greatest gift I could ever ask for.
I praise the Lord for everything.
