its a mommy thingy

i have been thinking for a week now, whether to go or not on the emirates assessment.. and for my interview in ceb. all my friends, including you guys (who read my blog and left comments on my chatbox) said YES/GO!! i would like to go, too, with all my heart, i know its really a yes. but sometimes priority comes first. and being a mom for my baby, i think is my calling.. as for this time. im sad coz i really want to attend the assessment and interview.. but my kid needs me.. and i cant think of myself, my dream, my career first before her. i know i should not be feeling this way, coz in the first place it was me who made the decision of not going.. its just that i could not take the happiness that i would feel if ever i would do good during my interviews, while my baby is crying at home looking for me. i cant take the guilt. it kills. seriously. i need to sacrifice. now i know the feeling, its really different when you are really a mother. you would feel for your child. heartbreaking. i am not giving up on this dream.. maybe, its not yet my time. maybe there is a reason why this is happening to me. i am positive. im still hoping.. looking forward.. i know. one day, i would also be up there.. serving caviar, in first class.

one lazy afternoon

i was browsing through blogs and reading pms from my fb account randomly.. because i had nothing to do, i was home alone and bored as hell.. i was thinking weather to go or not on the cebu pacifics screening and at the same time be assessed at ipams for emirates after.. so im looking for some signs since my questions have got to be answered and my confusion must have an end. then out of the blue i went to check my emails since it was a very long time since i last checked on it.. until i saw this in my inbox...

see how fast signs showed up? is this enough?? i need more signs please! i really want to be sure about my decision. :)

**so there, i hope these tips would help. goodluck to all of us. soar high!! :)

by the way, these tips were taken from my flight attendant manual, i hope its accurate. :)

lessons learned..

i know how it feels to be frustrated over something we really want to do. like Flying!! a lot of girls want this job. i was once blessed to be one. but it seemed like God has other plans for me. well yes, at first, it was hard for me to give up on my career.. this was my dream and i worked hard for it. trained in a flight attendant school and all.. to cut the story short. i got pregnant. i was a step closer to that dream..then poooof!!! it was gone like a bubble. now, im back to zero. but im still thankful, coz ive learned a lot during my pregnancy. boy, it was hard.. seeing all the ads on the internet, receiving emails about open days and hirings.. all the calls and text msgs i got.. i could not do anything but wait. there was a time that i regret what i did.. i was not careful with my actions.. i took things for granted. i was over confident. a lot of blaming issues.. this and that.. etc. i was really bitter about it.. seeing my batchmates finally flying, thinking that i was supposed to be in their place. million times, i almost lost hope, i didn't want to pursue flying anymore.. until i realized that im not the only one who experienced these.. that there are a lot of girls who failed but started over again. and never gave up.. that theres a lot of blessings that im receiving. and one of those is my litle angel. ive learned to accept that things don't always happen the way we want it. painful as it is yet we have to deal with it. challenges are given to us to test us, not ruin us. so what am i doing now? still searching for hiring airlines. passing my resumes online.. applying even on local airlines.. little by little.. starting to reach my dream and not stress out.. nothing can stop me from trying.. not even me, being a mommy.. i believe that i can. in God's perfect time.
