The Dalai Lama once said, “ Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of good luck. “ As human beings, we all have wishes, it can be to earn more money, find the perfect partner, or simply be beautiful. Sometimes they come true but many times they don’t .If they don’t there is no reason to feel defeated, the best things are sure to come. Things not exactly we hoped for, but in the end, the ones that are best for us according to the perfect plan of God. It is not easy to accept “ detour”, it requires faith in the goodness and love of God for us. No matter what happened in the past and the situation now, remember God wills our happiness and success.

Blessing In Disguise
Dream Job
Three weeks ago, I wrote my bucket list for 2012. One of the things written on my list is to find a new job. It is not actually a new job. I still like to teach, it is more of finding a new school or university that promotes growth and brings out the best in its employees. Last October, I was offered to teach in a big Catholic college in my province. Although it is not yet my dream school, I accepted the offer since the offer is quite good. The salary is better, the school is reputable with an efficient system that works, and my future bosses seem to be nice people. I want to give this one a chance.
My dream really is to teach at Philippine Normal University. I applied in 2008 but received no word from them. It must be the politics then. As one of the best universities for teacher education, it would be an honor to work there. Imagine, being able to teach future mind builders of this country, no job can be better than that.
My Bucket List ( 2012 )
My 2011 ended not as beautiful as the way 2010 closed. However, I must say that I’m more optimistic of what 2012 may have in stored for me. I have come up with the list of eight things I want to accomplish this year. They are not many but they are all significant to me. I have decided not to travel ( with the exception of Diyana’s wedding in March, which I had planned before I decided not to travel for the next two years ) to save money for my future business. Here is my bucket list for 2012 arranged according to their importance.
- Get a scholarship grant
- Find a new workplace
- Save money
- 4. Debt-free 2012
- Write and publish articles
- Attend GO Negosyo seminars
- Tiling of our two-storey house
- Acquire or receive a laptop

Over dinner, we talked about her preparations and thoughts on the new the life her family will soon be starting. While listening to her, I felt very proud of what she has become. She found a loving husband, and is now a mother to an adorable daughter. Marie is the perfect example of a caring mother who wishes and looks forward to a good life for her loved ones and at the same time, aware that things don’t usually come on a silver platter. She knows the life they will experience in the
