I am a sales professional by profession. Though I graduated from Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, my work experiences are all related to sales. I worked as a cashier, a sales lady, a sales trainer, and a branch sales head. All of my working life was all about sales and customer service.

So, how did this woman who was supposed to build steel buildings end up doing sales related jobs? Well, I got pregnant, got married, lost my desire to take the board exam just even once, and got consumed with the need to provide for an ever growing family – that simple! I just lost it, the desire to pursue my profession as a Civil engineer got lost when I was so overwhelmed with the tides of life. The responsibility of having growing kids got into me and I lost the desire to pursue myself.

Anyway, I didn’t regret not taking the board exam. In fact, even up until now, I still don’t want to take it. I realized that being a Civil Engineer is not really what I want. All I want wanted is to be a stay at home mommy who earns money online. Well, I got what I wanted but life isn’t perfect. There are still complications and we have to deal with it day by day!

Another month has passed and still I can’t believe how time really flies. Next month would be September and it would be the start of the BER months which symbolizes the coming of the Christmas Season. It seems like it was yesterday that we celebrated Christmas Day and now, we are just a few months away till the next New Year!

Anyway, that reminds me that many of my goals have not seen completion. One of those goals is to have our kitchen faucet done. I already have an idea what item number of the displayed Moen kitchen faucets in the mall I want to be installed but up until now I haven’t been able to buy it. Another thing is my new savings goal, I really wanted to have it done earlier this year but unfortunately I wasn’t able to visit the bank to have it opened. Aside from the fact that I always ran out of money, I am always busy at home because we have no house help.

Sigh! I wish I can have at least a few goals done. If I don’t, it would be another unproductive year just like what I had last 2009.

At the time when I was going through major change in my life, the song Made Me Glad has become my constant companion who helped me through those hard times and the hurts that I’ve been going through. The song practically became my mind’s companion every living minute of my day. It was a song of assurance and guidance for me on how I should live life during the stormy weather of my life.
