Greatest Gift for Christmas!!! (Shine After the Rain)

October 23rd, 2008

FINALLY! My greatest Christmas Gift (yet) to my Dad has arrived.

The package has finally arrived. After months of savings, I finally got the chance to give Daddy his new ride. It may not be the best dream car, but I’m sure it is for us, at least for now! Thank God and of course to everyone who helped me achieve this dream.

No, I didn’t win the FAMAS or something, but I would like to take this chance to really thank everyone who helped me become what I am now and achieve whatever I have achieved now. I guess this happy moment is a great way to extend my gratitude to all who loved and cared for me for all these years. I may not be as expressive in terms of showing my gratitude but I really appreciate all the love and help I get.

To start with, my office, US Auto Parts, Philippines. For understanding my special situation in terms of balancing work with studies. They have always been supportive of me and my career. I couldn’t have managed things if not for them, especially Marc Macalua (VP Marketing, Philippines) and Alvin Jimenez (Senior Email Marketing Manager).

I also owe big to The Ateneo Professional School for granting me partial scholarship for a sem and Manila Bay for another sem of full scholarship. I definitely could not have saved enough for the gift if not for the scholarship.

For my family who have always been my inspiration in striving to be better. It is in our family that I learned of love and faith. And talking about love, of course, Erald (a.k.a. Besty, Bebe, etc). For supporting me all the way and helping me in all means possible. And most especially for loving me.

Before I even cry and things get mushy here, WWAAHHH!!! Finally, one down! It just feels so good. That’s all. And I really thank God for all these blessings. As the saying goes, ‘there’s always a shine after the rain’. I just feel like I can do anything now!!! Again, thanks to everyone. Let’s spread the love this Christmas! Mwah Everyone!

Wow Tin! Congrats! I’m really impressed (and inspired) with how you managed to balance everything and still excel both at work and in gradschool. Looking back, you’ve really come a long way. And witnessing your successes from a distance, I’m really happy with how things turned out for you. Keep it up!
