The week that was.......

Posted on Friendster, Aug 2006

I thank the Lord for tremendous blessings this week......

- I won a flash disk from a seminar I attended, a seminar which was not really related to my work...hmm...ok...partly-related...( with matching give-away jacket). The first prize for the raffle was a 120K worth Lifebook. Cool! The guy from Eastern Telecom won the laptop ( swerteng bata!). I plan to give my old memory stick to my sister ( she badly needs it!).

- Surprise! I was able to attend a Toastmasters' Club meeting! Wow, how I wish I could talk like them..with eloquence..with confidence...with wit..with style...with enthusiasm...Wow, lahat na! Admiration to the highest level! I was in awe the entire meeting. I did not realize that all Toastmasters' Clubs are just under one international umbrella organization, implementing the same principles all over the world. I would have to admit that I was kinda intimidated with the environment but the members were all friendly that they made me comfortable. I am still thinking if I am going to sign up as a member or be a guest forever ( as if pwede naman?) One thing's for sure..I liked what I saw :)

- I was able to attend Lingkod-Makati's PM. The venue is a good 5-min walk from the office. No sweat! It's kinda weird that the elevator going up to the venue always stop at the 6th floor. It made me cringe, really. I am looking forward to hearing Bro. Ed's talk next week.

- Got to buy 2 Bo Sanchez' books from Powerbooks at a discounted price! I've finished reading both in 2 days...marathon-reading, hehehehe..

- Gifts of a loving family...a technically-challenging work...warm, ever helpful officemates....overflowing texts and emails from friends/kapatids....safety/protection going to/from the house...a very kind boardmate...food/shelter/clothing....cell load....the list is endless........

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!
