the challenge

"okay, let's get directly straight to the point... i appreciate your thesis but... "

whew... few days left to meet the deadline for the thesis manuscript for final defense... well, this is the story...

our schedule of final defense was supposed to be tuesday last week... and oh... we were not able to pass our manuscript so we asked if we can have our final oral defense rescheduled. and so it happened. [whew!] that was last wednesday... and to our surprise... the chairman of the panel said, "okay, let's get directly straight to the point... i appreciate your thesis but i can't afford to compromise the standard of our school... i appreciate the effort of your statistician but mali ang ginawa niya... [etc]... ano ba yung statistician niyo, professional of undergraduate..?" graduating na po sa october..." "well, we appreciate her effort pero hindi dapat ganito? may sample thesis ba kayo..? [etc]" [can't defend the chapter because they did not listen.. hehehehehe mali daw kasi nga...]

and to cut the story short, hmmmm we have to finish our chapter 4 and 5 and pass it next week or else, we will repeat this subject... and they gave us the instructions of what should be done etc... the statistical treatment to be used etc... then we looked for a statistician na kayang magawa to within one day.. and we listened to another panel's recommendation..

and kanina, we followed up our thesis... and she said that...
"actually tama naman yung tables niyo.. tama yung ginawa ng statistician.. kase [etc]"
may minodify lang akong tables kase gusto nga nilang makita yung mean so ganto... [etc]
tapos dito sa correlation [etc]"

hoooooooh LOrd! whew.. although magbabayad kami ngayon sa bagong statistician, [kasi kay tina walang bayad...] okay na lang din! hoooh.. kase at least baka yun, mapaniwalaan nila.. hehehehe kaya pala nung wednesday, may peace pa rin ako.. hehe don't know why.. uulit ka tapos one week palugit.. though madali lang naman... pero hehe ewan ko. .i believe that's from God.. di ko nga lam kung ano na niisip ng mga thesismates ko eh... baka nisip din nila kung ano bout kay tina.. hehe feeling ko di lang nila ko masisi.. and ayun! tama naman pala! hooh LORD!

sabi ko nga kay camille nung wed, it's just a matter of faith.. hehehehe

ngayon, we're waiting for a panel [sino man sa kanila ang available] para masabi na namin ang dapat sabihin! whew whew whew LOrd... thank YOU!

Issues of the mom-heart

I've read somewhere that everyone's miserable. They're just good at hiding it. I have been trying to find out why this new season seems to be a burden to me. Don't get me wrong -- I enjoy motherhood and I love my little one but something seems to be blocking my view of experiencing it joyfully.  Callie's already 10 months and everything just dawned on me -- why I was struggling, why I can't see things the way it should be, why I felt ineffective and frustrated and depressed. I think I just had post-partum depression.  I just got back from my US business trip and I just bursted into tears a few days after while singing Jesus loves me -- as if I'm telling that to myself. I'm grateful that I have a husband who listens and understands and encourages me that I can do it! I just realized the root cause(s) of what's going on after that incident. I was too attached to Callie that I don't want her to leave my site when I'm with her. I

Maturity

I was reading a long-overdue-book and I bumped into this: I have been married for almost two years now and I suddenly reminisced my late teenage years... It was in those years when God made me realize that maturity doesn't come with age... I was younger then, when I understood this very excerpt from the book Let Me Be a Woman (funny how everything He taught me is already in this book had I not stopped reading it! Indeed His humor is amazing). I started reading this way back 2007 or 2008 only to continue it now and read this now. I stopped reading it way back then because I don't have plans of getting married yet... little did I know that He will make me understand this in His own personal way. And right now, I was like, "So Lord, You must be saying, 'I told you so..' right?" haha! ...  The key to meeting your better half starts with maturity. And maturity comes from God.   To those who are still searching for their better half, don't. Don&#

Thoughts

Exodus Moses brought Joseph's bones out of Egypt when God freed them. Joseph made his family swear under oath that when God pays them a visit, they have to carry his bones with them. Joseph mentioned that surely, God will take them to the land He promised Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. Maybe, Joseph's brothers tell this to their sons & daughters so even after x number of years, they are still reminded of Joseph's request. The Israelites know that the time will come when God will take them out of Egypt but maybe they just didn't believe so He needed Moses to perform the miracles, that they might know Him, trust Him and believe in Him. Sometimes, we know what God said and what God promised us... but when it's already in front of us, it's hard to determine that God is already moving. Why? Because we are comfortable with the misery that we are in to. It dulls our senses and makes us forget the promise of God. Be careful with where you are right now.
