I was supposed to post this last week but because I was too busy at and off work, obviously I’m posting this just today. Pang-ilang post ko na yata ‘to pertaining to me winning Ensembles’ Wear My Design contest, since last year pa. But I couldn’t thank Him enough all because I still wasn’t expecting these things to happen months after winning.
Allow me to pour my sentiments related to this matter. Being part of a clan, most especially among the Clarete branch I am under, there is this pressure of having your name printed anywhere because you passed a licensure exam! Totoo! May mga ganong angkan, and I guess most parents would be so proud to see prefixes or suffixes added to their child’s name, seeing their child’s name online, on a board inside PRC, and in … newspapers. I remember that day when my sister passed the Chemical Engineering’s licensure exam; my parents bought newspapers right away; looked for her name; they haven’t done it yet, but we all know what comes next, it would be placed inside a frame. Yes! You may think it’s funny, but I had this frustration! However, unlike anyone else, I can’t bring myself to take up a course with a licensure exam. Well, I tried, but I just can’t.

Who would have known, years after graduating, not needing to take a licensure exam, I would see my name in a newspaper (broadsheet pa ah, not tabloid hahaha!) – a “winner” in a field I have been dreaming of. Ang galing ni Lord, noh? This may be trivial, but I am more than glad! I guess I have made my parents proud. And I claim that this is not the last. I pray that He would continually guide me on this endeavour.
I got my name on websites, too!! I feel happy that the main photo of the article is my design. I have also read blogs on Wear My Design winners, and I like how good the responses were to my “Bloom” design. It just feels so good!
Now I look back at those days of struggle, failures and doubts, with a smile on my face. Therewill still be lots of these ahead of me but let me still say thank You, Lord! Iba Ka!
And here’s a two-week compilation of my grateful journal. I just completed 50 grateful posts! Yay! :

| 020714 It was yet again a manic monthend; it was crazy at work. This is the reason why i deserve a quiet place and a peaceful time. What happened after this is also something I’m thankful about. I guess this is it I think it’s time to go back to school |
 |
| 020814 Spent my Saturday morning on the streets of Baclaran because I’m too eager to buy a mannequin to help me work on a client’s gown. What I found is this, it’s not the same as what I wanted but still glad and thankful that I have this for now. I can’t wait to buy a better one though haha! Today I also feel thankful that the gown turned out to be what I wanted it to be just few more touch ups and I pray that the Lord will guide me through this. |
