It had been eight (8) years since I last had a job in a corporate institution, that was in a private hospital in Cebu City. I quit my job then, in hopes of gaining time independence and self-reliance by venturing into a cyber cafe with a partner. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned and hoped for. It was only a matter of two months that the business was closed down due to disagreements with my partner. I had no choice than to accept the failure in that endeavor. In the succeeding weeks and months, I was forced to live in uncertainties of a life without job, without income, dependence and depression. However, in those times, I never quit praying and believing that God saw everything and heard my cries.
Years passed by and nothing very significant happened in my career life. I took Nursing and English exams (hopeful to get a job abroad), went to hospital volunteer works, served in the church, attended IT training, studied and tried home-based freelance self-employment. I just went on with life and forgot about my predicament and petitions. There were times, though, that I questioned what I held on, that is faith. Nonetheless, I had no hint of giving up altogether. I left everything into His care and never cared seriously about life. I just lived as I was supposed to.
In an unexpected event last year, my buddy, Wilfredo Arbon let me applied for an IT vacancy position in the company he worked for 7 yrs now. I doubted if I could still make it there. Nevertheless, I just tried my luck.
I passed through every phase of the application process and even prayed to HIM to just get me out of the hurdle if it wasn't meant for me. I was tired of applying and failing previously. So, I only gave the hurdle half my heart and never cared much to protect myself from further frustration if things didn't work out in my favor.
Today, as I am writing this post, I am already a regular employee of Tsuneishi Technical Services Philippines (TTSP), being designated as Information System Staff developing internal systems for the company. One of the best things in my job is working alongside my college buddy. I am not earning as much as other programmers out there. But I am contented, happy and grateful with my job. Those things count the most. I firmly believe it was God's grace at work, and I never saw it coming.
