And then there was light...

Naka ready na lahat ng mga gamit ko pauwi ng lupang hinirang at naka box na ang pala at rake bilang pag hahanda sa pagsasaka ko sa farmville. Tanggap ko na ang defeat. Tanggap ko na tapos na ang season ko sa Singapore.

Pero si Papa Jesus full of surprises. On my last week of social visit pass the miracle happened. It was as fast as sound. Charot lang. Hindi naman ganun kabilis pero it really happened fast. Tumawag sakin ang isang kumpanya na gustong-gusto kong mapasukan dito sa Singapore. Actually, na ineerview na nila ako two months ago pero hindi sila nag paramdam kahit spam na ko ng spam ng email follow-up. Deadmeat sila sa malamig na Jar. And so I accepted the sad truth. So it kinda surprises me that they were interviewing me for another post. Syempre, I told them that I have one week left on my social visit pass.

It was the longest week for me. Hindi sila tumawag ng sunod-sunod. Alam mo 'yung feeling na hindi mo alam kung nagustuhan ka ba nila or hindi? Hindi ako makatulog. Nakaka tatlong ice cream ako sa isang araw. dahil sa kaba. LOLz Nakatitig ako sa phone ko maghapon at nag dadasal ng taimtim na sana tumawag na sila.

Nag daan ako ng another set ng technical interview ulet. Nose bleed. Buo-buo yatang dugo ang lumabas sa ilong ko sa sobrang hirap. Pero I know for a fact that this opportunity was my last shot. so I shine like a star. hihihihi

I got the job offer. Not the best job offer in the world but I am really thankful to God. It is indeed my miracle of the year. But that is the first time. Meron pang Work Pass application approval at Medical exam.

I learn to trust and rely on God. Suko na ko eh, I just gave everything to God. If uuwi ng pinas and that is His will for me. Okay lang sakin. I trusted and surrendered everything to God. It elevated my faith to the next level.

So habang nag didildil ako ng salt, my employer submitted my Work Pass application to the Ministry of Man Power. Current issue ngayon dito sa Singapore ang approval rate ng Work Visa dahil the Government is very strict about Work Passes, they are trying to control the influx of foreign talent nowadays.

After a day, my work pass has been approved.


I was amazed by God's favor.  After I got my IPA kelangan ko na mag pa medical which is another thing, kasi I have hypertension. Severe case of hypertension. Ni nenerbyos kasi ako pag kaharap ko na doctor kaya lalong tumataas blood pressure ko.

This time God showed His grace and Mercy to me. I went to do my Medical test, blood pressure is a little bit high kasi sobrang kabado ako. The doctor gave me this.


I passed and was certified fit to work. And these things happened 3 days before my social visit pass expiration.

Tomorrow I am set to, get my Work Pass Card. And I already started my work last friday. Today is my second day. Here's a shot of my new workstation.



Almost 3 months of job searching. The journey was no joke and it was hard and confusing lalo pa at nasa ibang bansa ka. Masakit sa ulo mag isip ng bills at frustrating makita na 'yung plans mo nag co-collide right before your eyes.

But the experience made me realize one thing. God never fails. His faithfulness remains the same, yesterday today and tomorrow. He does not bless us because we are good people. Or because we deserve the blessing. He blesses us because He is a generous and a loving God.

Sorry If I sound so Chuchy on this post. I'd just like to express how grateful I am to God for blessing me and for letting me see life on a different perspective this time...

Let me share this worship song from Elevation Worship that has really given me courage to trust God despite of circumstance that I don't understand.

    Mukhang kulang na kulang nga ako sa dasal kaya hanggang ngayon eh tengga pa rin ako dito sa bahay.
