new work, new life

I've recently resigned from work where I've been employed from more than 6 years. It was difficult at first but the Lord has realy planned everything out for me. Amazingly, my boss let me off really well. I will miss the people and the work itself but definitely not the pay. I've had some personal bouts with our finances especially after my youngest was born. And with my past work, our expenses and income just don't seem to meet. Apart from this, there were many other things that made me decide to finally move on.
But all that is now in the past. As a human, I still have some regrets. Regret that it took me so long to move on and let go. Regret that I have been so gullible But as a Christian, I believe that all of these happened for a reason. During my stay there, I've been able to lead at least 10 people towards accepting Christ as their Lord and saviour when I conducted the "End of Times" series in the office. My co-workers were also witnesses to my tranformation from an angry and arrogant tyrant to God's lowly servant. Indeed, no work of God has been in vain.
As I pray hard for the Lord to lead me towards greener pastures, He let me see my affliction as a preparation for greater and better things for me and my family.
And alas, the Lord is great and He truly is faithful to those who trust in Him alone. He blessed me with a new job and a potentially fulfilling one at that. And more importantly, He presented an opportunity for me to work for Him. Suprisingly, 2 of my batchmates were also churchworkers of CCF and one of them needed help for a research she was doing for the church.
Isn't it amazing how the Lord works? To this day, He continues to guard my heart despite the painful attrition that I had to endure during my last months of stay in my previous company. He calmed me down and told me every single time to be still and have faith. I surrendered, I believed and thus I persevered. And Through Him indeed nothing is ever impossible. Amen

Cebu Adventure with Hubby

 I had wanted to post this since forever but did not have the time or just did not remember to have the time.  I wanted to just share about this very organized albeit sablay itinerary of mine.  Well what the heck! I consider myself an expert travel planner. Having planned countless office and family local and international trips, I even thought of putting up my own travel agency just to remind me of how good I am in travel planning.  But there are of course trips that will always run into some setbacks and even unforeseen delays and even stops that may altogether throw your plans out the window. This Cebu trip with my dear hubby was probably one of those. But if you ask my husband, this was probably on his toplist of our most unforgettable trips ever. I usually plan out by hour but since there are items in the IT that's not very familiar to me (sardine run etc), I thought to leave out the time and just run with whatever the day brings.   So here how it all ...

How knowing SEO changed my career path

It's been more than a year since I took the SEO specialization course from Coursera given by UC Davis Extension program. And boy is it a great pivoting experience so far.  As one who have been in the practice of market research for more than 20 years, venturing into a totally new field is not only nerve-wracking but also defining.  It changed my career path unexpectedly even at age 40.   It was also last year that I have concurrently been assigned as Head of SEO/SEM for the entire conglomerate.  And because of that, I have been able to practice SEO not only with one website but with 12.  One year later, I've seen these websites grow impressions by 1k% and traffic by 500% because of organic and local SEO.  It actually surprised me how powerful SEO really is in achieving traffic goals which will help you eventually grow leads. We now have a steadily increasing number of leads across the 12 brands.  But recently I have been trying to assess if I were...

Remembering our last travel before the pandemic...Part 1

Every once in a while I find myself in a trance.  I pause to reflect on what is happening in the world.  The feeling is overwhelming.   I recall the year that was. Then I remember the year before. The Pre-pandemic. What it meant for me then and what it means to me now. A world of difference. Something that I may never be able to go back to ever again. 2019...That year was when I backpacked with my husband from Vietnam to Cambodia to Thailand by land and air in 6 days- an awesome feat for someone with a chronic illness like me.  Manila to Ho Chi Mihn was supposed to bea  normal uneventful night flight but turned out to be a traumatic experience for our first time in Vietnam.  The taxi driver duped us into letting him count our money and with his quick hands was able to snatch at least P1,000 worth of Dong money from us.   We actually stayed in 2 hotels in Vietnam both of which were not worth mentioning at all.  Both were 2 star hotels whe...
