i’m more nervous than usual, round 2 of my job interview is coming up tomorrow. was i aiming too high considering that this is just my first real job application in this part of the world?u see, i sent my resume for this big company and little did i know that they wanted me to shoot for the managerial position?!it totally caught me off guard!of course, the senior manager himself revealed it to me during the first interview with him, how convenient can that be?!i must say, never really planned to start something big for my first regular job in fact, i just wanted to be in the work force and get myself active but my 2 years as manager for caffe americana back home spelled the difference.

and to make things worst, i got myself a panel interview tomorrow!i was telling gene that i feel so inadequate for the job…this is not what i foresee considering this is just my 8th month here!and yes, i admit i’m having a cold feet right now but can u blame me?i was even thinking of not showing up anymore but hey, a challenge is a challenge in whatever form it may be so bring ‘em on baby!

vacation is finally over for me!life on a daily basis?pretty much back to normal…gone are days when i was always on the phone talking to my family and marlo back home…all giggly and excited about the big day!

to top it all, i’m having my first job interview tomorrow…although i had a quick one over the phone today, tomorrow would be the real mccoy!gene keeps reminding me to feel confident about it, i hope to be too!hehehe

with this move, i realized that my life here is not just a holiday trip but for good!

in the movie 27 dresses, i was like katherine heigle in the sense that i became a part of a wedding at an early age(as i have written before, i was a flower girl when i was 1). mom belongs to a big clan back home hence, i became a maid of honor twice and countless times as bridesmaid/flower girl to a relative’s wedding. so, it was a really big dream for me to have one of my own but can’t dream too big before and u know why…

to be honest, my mom really opposed a lavish wedding for the simple reason that it is not practical nowadays, i’m not saying mine was, but i just wanted it to be beautiful. i must admit from flowers to favors, were quite expensive but it’s something my heart totally wants.

everyday, i still find time to look at the wedding photos we have on the 2 cd’s. i’m glad i have chosen that flower vendor because not only that she gave me pink roses and carnation, she made sure i also had the pink tulips!they were so pretty inside the long vases filled with water.

my dress lived up to my family’s expectations!hahaha no one really saw it except for gene until that saturday afternoon so i’m glad it was worth it!

although our PI wedding’s already over, i’m still into wedding magazines and channel on tv…more to go!

it’s been over a week since our wedding day in zamboanga city yet i still feel i’m in cloud 9!the stress and the efforts were all worth it just for that one day.

both our families were so thankful that the day went by so well. even the weather was on our side. thank God!

i know i have so many people to say thank u to, for all the help they have extended me during the preparations. i will be forever grateful to all friends who gave me their advices and opinions, without which, this wedding will just be another ordinary wedding.

what really inspires me right now, is when i get messages and emails from friends and guests who all said the wedding was beautiful. a friend wrote me, he said that his wife wanted the same theme and equally beautiful event for their 10th-year wedding anniversary. also another friend made a photo album and entitled it, "my dream wedding". how nice indeed!

i know we have little mistakes here and there hahaha for instance, we forgot to give away those wines to the groomsmen and all male entourage(except for the ninongs…thank goodness!). we got carried away that we forgot to give anyone any instructions!no wonder the open bar we had at the reception was over supplied with bottles of wine!gene promised to make it up to them one of these days…

all in all, i’m glad and i smile as i look back on our wedding last saturday…
