It's been a while...

Wala na kong ginawa kundi mag badminton. Kahit natutulog napapanaginipan kong tumitira ako ng shuttle. Ang buhay ko sa Singapore ay isang malaking badminton. Sometimes, I find it kinda boring. Very time consuming kasi mag laro, minimum 3 hrs kame kung mag laro. I was exposed to different pinoy badminton groups here in Singapore. Every time na may tournament parati akong sumasali. Adik lang ang peg. Ang bilis naman kasi talaga makapag burn, good cardio workout kasi sya kaya mas kinarir ko sya over running. Kasi alanganamang tumakbo ako 3hrs. Hindi ko naman yata kaya 'yun.

Pero, kasabay ng pag aadik ko sa Badminton ganun din ang pag aadik kong kumain ng bongga jabongga pag tapos mag laro. And I hated it. Arti lungs. Syempers, nagpapa-payat ako pero hindi naman pumapayat ng bonggels kasi ang takaw mey. I'm so sick and tired of waiting. Charot.

Minsan naiisipan ko na talagang mag pa lypo para mas mapabilis ang pag kakaron ko ng flat stomach. Para naman pag beach season na hindi ako lagi naka rush guard. Kaso takot me sa injection. Tsaka baka kulang ang lalagyan ng Belo group pag nag sunction na sila ng taba mey.

Nahihirapan akong mag diet. Hindi ko mapanindigan ang fruits at vegies. Nag sasabaw ang laway ko sa tuwing napapadaan ako ng McDonald's. Nag susumigaw ang BigMac sa utak mey. I'm so weak kaya sinasamahan ko sya ng Large fries and coke. Haist!

This is the fatboi me recently. Making Selfie in the toilet. Not the selfie bastos that you think but the Selfie definition ayon sa Oxford dictionary. LOLz

Fine. I'm just a poor fat lonely boi na walang nag aaruga. Hahaha Baboy lang ang peg kelangan arugain?!

It has been 4 months since I started my new job. And I thanked the Lord for blessing me another opportunity to work here. My new job is okay pero ngayon nag sisimula na syang maging complicated. Haist. But who am I to complain?

Couple of weeks ago nag attend ako ng Onshore Safety Course. Alam nyo 'yung mga platform ng Oil Refinery sa gitna ng dagat? Onshore tawag dun. So may malanding safety training pa pala bago ako maka tapak sa Onshore assignment ko. Pero bago ang lahat may medical test.

Gawd, ayaw na ko tantanan ng mga walang hiyang medical test na yan. I passed the test pero naman nalamutak ang buong pagkatao ko sa medical exam. I feel dirty. Ang dumi-dumi mey.

Sabi kasi ni Doc pag pasok ko sa clinic pag tapos mag tanong ng medical history ko. Take off your shirt and pants. Kasama talaga shirt???! Hindi ko kinaya gusto ko sya sampalin ng figurine nyang skeleton.

Pero kelangan eh, so nag hubad me. Iniwan ko lang ang aking colorful undies. ahahha

Sabi nya. Take off your shorts. Sabi ko that's not a shorts. It's a brief. Ahahahah Sabi nya take it off. Edi inalis mey. Tapos piniga-piga nya ang aking betlogs. Ganun ba talaga para malaman kung may luslus?!

After all that stuff. Pasado mey! Yey!

Kaya natuloy na ko sa Safety course class. Sa Safety course kala ko mga arte-arte lang na wag gawin 'to ganyan at mag suot ng presonal protective gadget and all that shit. Pero hindi pala ganun. Meron sya helicopter crash survival training. At merong fire escape training. At Sea Survival bullshit kyeme. Gusto ko na sana mag walk out. Hindi ko kaya ang mga ganun! Ang kaya ko lang gawin eh, paunahan umubos ng burger. Chars!

First part ang Helicopter Crash escape. Bali merong replica ng helicopter tapos nakasakay ang apat na tao tapos i susubmerge sya sa tubig tapos babaliktad ang helicopter sa ilalim ng tubig. So ang goal is mag unbuckle ng seat belt at basagin ang bintana at mag escape at lumangoy sa pampang.

Guess what?! Ang dami kong nainom na tubig at muntik na me mamatay. Hatechitt!!!

Hilong-hilo me sa ilalim ng tubig at nauubusan na ko ng Oxygen. Hindi ko pa na uunbuckle ang aking seatbelt. Nightmare! Pero paso mey matapos ang ilang beses na pag submurge. Yey!

Sa fire escape naman. Merong room na super madilim at super mausok at super mainit tapos kakapain mo lang ang mga wall hanggang maka escape ka sa kabilang pinto.

Guess what?!

Naka limang ulet ako bago ako maka escape. Kinabisado ko lang ang floor plan kaya ako naka escape. Ang sakit sa likod at ang hirap mangapa sa darkness. I swear, hindi ko na sya uulitin ulet. Nakaka haggards!

Sa sea survival naman mag tutulungan kayo na makapag survive. Hindi naman hirap tumulong sa mga ka team na makapag survive kung sana  hindi amoy tae at kilikili ang kasama mo. Haggard. Nasa tubig na nga ganun parin amoy.

After 3 days. Napasa ko ang training. At ayaw ko na sya ulet ulitin. forever and ever.

This is the only pix I recovered.

Another Selfie  ahahahha

So my life is as boring as what I have written lately. Kaya minsan ang hirap mag blog.

I'm thinking of transferring church that I can be used more. I'd love to sing and I miss worship leading maybe small churches na kulang ng workers I can transfer. I'm still praying about it and asking God's confirmation about it. So far it's hard and I'm struggling in sa ministry. Hard to explain. Just my blah blah's I guess.

So far my life is pretty decent here. Looking forward for more adventures on where God will lead me. I want a revamp. I want to be excited and optimistic about everything. Optimistic in living a healthy life.

Papunta na tayo sa last quarter of the year. Sana naman this time swertihin na sa pagibig. Juk!

As usual my apology for wasting your time. Specially if you get to finish reading this entry up to this point.

'Till the next post faithful readers. Mhua!

The Update: I am alive!

How's everyone doing?! Parang artista lang maka-kamusta. If you ask me, I'm totally feeling awesome. Arti lang.

Na miss ko na mag blog. Like, super! Kung susukatin mga around tatlong gatang ng bigas at isang guhit ng kamatis na. Sa totoo lang, kapag nakakakita ako ng blogsite na nginginig me tapos napapa tipa ako sa ere kahit nasa loob ng nagsi-siksikang mrt.Can you imagine that. Parang tanga lang.

Akala ko end of the world na last week, dahil sa Haze all over SG na mula sa mga nasusunog na mayabong at tuyot na kakahuyan sa Sumatra bunga ng mga walang pusong kaingeros ng Sumatra,Indonesia. Bali, hinangin ng chismosang wind ang makapal at maitim na Usok papuntang SG kaya more-more usok ang sang kalahatang Singapore. Akala ko katapusan na ng buhay me at ng entire human race. End of civilization lang ang peg. I tot imma die a virgin. hihihihi. Alam nyo ba 'yung eksenang mausok ang daan tapos madilim ang gabi, feeling mo any moment may lalabas na zombies, vampires, warewolves at dwende't tikbalang. Damn Scary! parang world-war-z-slash-end-of-human-race kinda thing.

But I was soooo wrong. Hindi pa pala me matitigok just yet, I'm not gonna die virgin after all. Bali nag iba lang pala ang ihip ng malanding wind papuntang west kaya Lumipat lang ang chuserang-Haze sa Malaysia truly asia with staggering all time pullutant rate of 700+ PSI. Napaka Hazardous na ng ganoong rate. Syempers, hindi ko na masyadong inaalam ang news after mapunta ng Malaysia ang Haze. Kebs ko sa Malaysia.

Anyways, back to my selfie topic, it has been 3 months since I started my new job. Okay naman so far. Choosy pa ba ko? eh, may trabho na nga kesa nganga at kamot betlog maghapon.

Unti-unti na nag babalik sa dati ang lahat. Nag babalik narin ako sa paghulma ng abs mey. parang palayok lang, hinuhulma talaga?! Nag balik narin ako sa pag jo-jogging pag may time at regular badminton game narin. Actually, sumasalit na me sa mga badminton tournament sa Singapore. I'm such a varsity already lah! LOL Nag babalik narin ako sa long overdue searching for my one true everlasting love. My happy ever after. The chosen one. Charot!

As of the moment, nag coconcentrate ako sa pag baba ng BMI ko. Dahil according sa malanding BMI Category, morbidly obese parin ako. Haist! Pagod na pagod na kong maging matabang cute.Slap me hard hanggang sa dumugo ang red lips me. Ang hirap magpapayat! Pero never say die. Para narin healthy life style. Kidding aside. Gusto ko ng healty life style. 'Yung matulog ng minimum 7 hours at mag exercise regularly at kumain ng konti. So far. Fail sya ahhaaha pero try and try sabi nga ng matandang kasabihan.

I monitor my blood pressure everyweek. Nasa normal range naman na sya. I still see my cardiologist regularly para masigurado na hindi ako ma stroke anytime soon. Masakit sa bulsa, pero if that is the right thing to do to extend my life para maranasang umibig muli at lumigaya ng wagas eh, I wouldn't mind spending. Arte lungs. Once in a while may trauma parin sa na experience ko. Everytime I see a doctor, nag pa-palpitate ako dahil feeling ko meron akong medical condition. 'Yan yung naging effect sakin nang napakagaling kong ex-employer.

New Work is good, very mabait and super considerate ang boss at lead ko. Gusto ko rin ang trabaho. Medyo ma aksyon sya ngayon. Nagpupunta kasi kame ng mga iba't ibang mga planta para mag site visit at mag lamierda at mag buko juice habang nag papa foot spa at morrocan bath. Charot lang. Nag pupunta kame ng mga planta para mag service, monitor at mag train ng plant operator ng product naming control system. So pag tapos ng buong araw, amoy grasa na me. Hot na hot ang amoy pang Romance, hard and harsh ang peg.  Just imagine this, me on a coverall sweating papasok sa kwarto. I know right! so hot. ahahahaa Nasuka ka ba? Pwes, wag ka mag basa mag basa ka ng Dictionary maghapon. ahahha

'yun lang naman, nag update lang ako para maramdaman ng mga may crush sakin na buhay pa ang blog me. Ramdam nyo ba yung angas factor. Jepoy 2.0 yabang version. Charot ulet. Na-miss ko lang mag sulat. Hopefully I can write as often as before. I love blogging. This is my life. This is where I can be free as a bird. This is where I can express everything. Arti lungs.

More kwento next time sa tatlong faithful readers ko!

Sorry for wasting your time!

Mwua!

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.
