the road ahead

people are abuzz nowadays regarding what we have already known for quite some time. its probably one of the more pressing reasons why there seemed to be an exodus in the past couple of years. there's no confirmation yet but the rumor mill is in overdrive regarding the seeming inevitable. i say a lot of people are just waiting until they hear the official announcement - until that time, people will continue to speculate. for some, its probably a cause to worry but for the others its probably what they have been waiting, even asking for. for me, i've made my peace with whatever happens. i do still worry but tomorrow is tomorrow and its better to live in the here and now.

the somewhat good news is that while its been a really slow process, jfc/rr updated that they haven't managed to find the time to screen through the other candidates. it means my application is still active and there's still reason to hope for the best. maybe this is all a timing thing - that God in His eternal goodness will be giving me the best of both worlds - a package and a new adventure. while that's probably hoping for a whole lot, sometimes you just get a windfall of luck.

when you least expect it, there seems to be a whole lot of windows opening. i think opportunities do abound and its just a matter of really looking for the right one. there's some sidelines that may happen - cross my fingers - really a chance to earn some extra cash. its too early to say how it will pan out but believing it can happen is a first step.

the bit of bad news is that most likely our plan to attend the singapore grand prix this september may not happen. most of the freakin' tickets that's affordable are sold out - there's a few remaining at the grandstand. the best seats cost 40k pesos - and i'm not really too keen on spending that much. in my head, its a toss-up between the singapore grand prix or a nikon-D80. and yeah, the nikon D80 is winning.

the one thing to look forward to is me and some friends are off to the beach this weekend. we're starting summer quite early this year.
