Today, I visited the plant site of one of our client in Batangas City. It takes 3 to 4 hours driving from our office in Makati but we took it for 3 hours, my driver is one of the fastest driver I’ve known, good for my job. He never told me that we will passed by and near the site was my favorite place to go. A place that very close to my heart, a beautiful view of a blue ocean. When I saw the blue water it brighten up my morning, I felt the happiness in my heart the feeling that I can’t explain. All I know is, I love nature specially blue water in the beach. I’m beginning to like and love my work, I have chances to see and feel the nature while working. My driver was laughing at me because I acted like a child and I stopped the car just to see the full view of the sea and I can’t help myself not to take some pictures. When we’re on our way to Manila, I saw vendors at the side of the highway who sell Japanese sweet corn, corn is one of my favorite snacks, and I bought some for me and for my driver. The corn is so sweet and tasteful. It was a great and a perfect working day for me, pleasure while at work. I am so blessed and grateful. I appreciate and enjoy the good things that come to my way and make the most out of it. Thank you Lord for all the good things both within and around me and the best experiences that will come my way. Happiness cannot come from without, it must come from within.

Last Friday night when I was talking to my child over the phone, she asked why they will not come to me that night and she suddenly cried, she wanted to be with me because we didn’t see each other for 11 days and she misses me. It’s hard for me to explain because I’m so guilty of not having a quality time for them because of my work. Working for 6 days in a week is so depressing for me as a mother. When I went to the office yesterday morning I’m in a bad mood, I felt I’m so tired and depressed. I cried when I was taking my lunch, I remember my children, were supposed to take our lunch together like we used to, maybe I’m just guilty of not being with them. After work, I rushed to the mall to meet my children, my tiredness of work was gone. We took our dinner and we went to amusement center to play some games. My children love to sing, they sung the songs of ABBA the 80’s group singer, if I’m not mistaken. My five year old daughter love to sing the song “dancing queen” she sung it 4 times, we had fun together a bonding and a quality time to each other. That was one of the best bonding moment for us. They took away my stress in work and my guilt as well. Without them my life will be miserable. We can always find a reason to justify our emotions, but we can also find a bigger reason to let go of it. I learn that I must put the relationship first before the emotion. Effort always has a reward.

This past two weeks I’ve been so busy of my field work, meeting and talking mostly to men and learning little by little in technical and engineering knowledge. It’s hard for me for I don’t have formal education in engineering like application of scientific and mathematical principles. In social engineering maybe I can. But talking to engineers it’s fun and enjoyable for me, I can learn something from them when it comes to engineering works. Common sense is needed what ever and which ever our educational back ground. Yesterday, I met a young engineer, he asked my educational back ground, I told him “you’ll be surprise” and he guessed that I’m engineer too. I smiled and said “nope!” do I look like an engineer? and he said, you look like a showbiz personality! and I said your really an engineer a skillful in directing system to a woman’s heart! He was surprised when he knew that I belong in medical industry, I’m supposed to be a nurse but we can never tell what will be our future and what will we become when we grow old. It’s really fun and interesting learning different field and profession, it’s a continues learning process for me. Challenges keeps me fit. What ever profession we have, the love and the happiness we feel in everything we do in our life matter most. I’m still looking for what field am good at, its like a saying “you will never know what your good at until you try it.”
