is this MY moment?

yes, i've been told to update my blog. but what can i do? i'm a busy monger.
or just lazy altogether.

anyhoo, i'd want to make this as brief as possible. i have more important things to do, and they're all screaming on top of my head. hahahahaha. so i digress through my trusty blog.

sometime this summer. i was tasked to speak during one of our trainings. if you've known me, you'll see how i feared "public speaking".

well, not anymore. handling trainings has been one of the perks i've had since i started working in 2005. i love talking to a particular group of people. sharing with them what i know, and learning from them as well. i love the two-way learning. it's sooo fulfilling... and i always thank God that despite, drained energies and a raspy voice, i still could break a genuine smile off my face.

with all those said, i guess you'll realize your efforts paid off when you hear the crowd's loud applause, longer than expected. people coming up to you, hugging you and saying nice and uplifting comments. what a upper! natural high, alright.

and know that everything you did was beyond your own power, acknowledge that it's not you... it's never about you. coz you have a big God who deserves all the credit. (look to the heavens and thank Him. pray a silent prayer, and know deep down it's for Him, and it's Him... thank you, Lord).

kaya nga, when this bunch of youngbloods approached me... i was so shocked, i could literally get off my body. parang huwwwwaaaat?!? seryoso ba to?!?!?!?!
i guess they were serious. and i was just doing my job... with an extra ounce of passion perhaps.

i seriously wouldn't know how to react when they said, "ate, ang galing mo! IDOL kita!" and if that wasn't enough one of them even added, "gusto kong maging kagaya mo paglaki ko..." (honestly, nahiya ako. it's quite rare that people would really say that to my face. but of course, i was flattered. and thankful. ang galing ni Lord. hanep!)

and i guess they weren't really playing on me. coz they did the same thing when i met them a couples of months after... and oh, they requested for a photo op. artista?!?


(note: pardon the sabog feel. sabog lang talaga ako. that's all. hmmm. parang ka-age ko lang diba?)


((i say: simple things really rock my world. i thank God that people saw beyond me. everything was for HIS glory. ayos!))
