2 days before the 21st

today is the 1st day of my leave from the office. since i had nothing to do the whole day..... um.. what?? i knew i have to look for a corpo suit & to have my pictures taken, but since i felt like i have to stay at home and rest, i did not go out. i've decided to do everything tomorrow morning before i leave for Manila. Anyways, I wanted to share my weird dream every morning. yes i sleep in the morning, because working in a call center means "good morning moon" and "goodnight sunshine".. even in the office, during my "lunch time" when i sleep, i get to see the same dream over and over.. believe me or not, i hate waking up!! why? in my dream i see myself in the airport with a luggage bag, wearing uniform, greeting everyone & gorgeously smiling at them. doing the safety procedures on board the aircraft and all that. oh my gaaa.... at least in my dreams huh?? :P well, i always have butterflies in my stomach every time i think about it, and attending the QR OD for the second time, scares me a bit. it's just good to know that i have my pex family behind me, win or lose. they're very inspiring. knowing that even flight attendants who actually were FA wannabes before share their stories, weather or not they made it the first try or got in the 12th, 13th 14th try.. amazing huh? i realized it's not really about beauty & brains. being a flight attendant is not like joining the miss universe, you get in and in a snap someone passes the crown. it's about experience, ability, character.. you're not just there to smile, greet, and wave at people. you are there to save their lives during an emergency. be a firefighter. a nurse. a servant.. and whenever i see my friends flying already, looking at their pictures from different places. keeps me holding on to this dream, believing that one day, my turn will come, i'm not rushing things. i know that God will give it to me if he really wants me to be there. i'm keeping the faith. 

I WILL FLY. coz i dream high, the sky's the limit. :)

now do me a favor, please pray for me? & p.s. good luck to those who'll attend the OD on the 21st. let's do this okae? let's Fly. see y'all there. :)

cheers,

dee

never thought the Philippines had great views ey? :)
imma be Up there in a few..

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.
