Rejected (and how my day was)

Rejected, again! But it's alright, I'm not bitter at all because I know God has something else in store for me. Am still smiling and as a matter of fact, today I accepted that I can't control everything :-)

Anyway, I went to my alma mater to simply visit (The academe will always have a special place in my heart). And while on the bus en route to school I saw Dr. Wu, one of my professors in the communications program. It was nice catching up with  her! She talked about how the program has changed since I graduated and asked me if I was pursuing a career in the field of communications, specifically Public Relations (which was what I finished). And I said no; told her that I'm in a totally different industry but still somewhat connected to my academic background. I also mentioned that the interpersonal theories I learnt from her class was very helpful in landing my second job. And she was happy to hear it. Haha. We didn't really have much time to talk as she was heading to a lecture, but I vowed that I'll visit her again soon.

I then went to Spalding Hall where the offices of the FIL faculty was located. No one was there but Kuya Lester and Tita Letty. Tita Ime later came and we just talked stories about everything and anything. I love conversing with people in the academe! It's what we all have in common! Aside from all the talking, we also ate lunch at the Paradise Palms (ahh, memories!). Tita Pia and Kuya Jayson where also in the building so I briefly talked to them. 

Left the University at 5:30pm with Tita Ime who drove me home. Before heading home however, we made a quick stop at Sam's Club where Tita bought dog food and other groceries. 

Again, it was nice seeing the people and institution who made such a big in fact in my life. They know I still have post college depression (which is slowly disappearing), but they assured me that I'm young and that I shouldn't worry about the future too much. And they're right, actually. From now on, I'm going to live on the present. NOT from the past, and not in the future. 

Before I end this post, I shall say this as a mantra: 

"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for."
