Learn to accept the things you can't change

Hello Blog world, we meet again.

Last entry was February. 4 months ago. Wow. What have I been doing huh?

Those 4 months did not just pass by. It left its mark. A combination of stress, disappointment, laughter, and other emotions synonymous to the mentioned words.

In a nutshell, the past 4 months was Chaotic in a word.

Most were work-related, but what's new? Majority of what's happening in my life revolves in my work. I'm not saying that it's top priority, it never is. It's just what's keeping me busy if I'm not doing anything work-related.

I can't say I'm complaining, I LOVE what I do, but sometimes, it can just really get to you.
I dealt with people who can't seem to understand the nature of what we actually do. I dealt with people who's comprehension level could measure up to the temperature at the North Pole. I dealt with people who's just in it for the money (who can blame them?) But hey, you just gotta exercise PATIENCE.

Had I made an entry within those 4 months, my blog would've been full of ranting and negativity. But now, all I want to do is just look back and think about the things I learned from those unfortunate things and treasure the happy parts.

I wish to close that chapter of my work life. If there is something to learn, it would be, to learn to accept the things you can't change.


Maybe somewhere in that short time we have partnered with them, there have been miscommunications and such. I admit, we also have our shortcomings. But I did pray that they try to understand us as we did them.

I pray for those people. I pray that they acquire wisdom and understanding of the things that are not very familiar to them. I also pray that I be able to gather enough courage to face them again and be civil.

I'm not closing any doors. I would love to work with them again, for the sake of the program. Maybe in the future, but not any time soon. I have been burnt that I told my bosses, if they ever decide to get them again to partner with the program, I will have to sit this one out, or I be assigned to handle other programs. I am not yet ready to deal with the same drama again. Unprofessional, yes, but sometimes, you just gotta set aside professionalism for your own dignity. I value myself and my worth more than I value my job and what I would get from doing it.

I just wait for that time when it would be okay for me. I know it will come, I just don't know when. I only trust God on this.

For now, all I can say is: C'est la vie! :)
