DRII Qualifying Exam - Passed!

Dear Foong Yen Ho,

I am very pleased to inform you that you have achieved a passing score on the DRI International Qualifying Examination that you took in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on December 9, 2011. On behalf of the Commission at DRI International, I extend our sincere congratulations on your achievement......

Ray Seid
Commission Chair

Well, the rest is.....a brighter future ahead. It's not fully confirmed that I will certainly have better career, but at least I look forward to it.

Career (ok ok career is SALARY) aside. I'd like to praise myself a little bit. It's personal achievement. It was difficult test. It felt like bullet through my heart. It was difficult. Really. So I feel good about myself. I should be happy and feel proud of myself.

I am thankful for all who laid their positive (and nice!) thoughts for me throughout. I am also very sure Guardian Angels have been staying with me, even at the ugliest time. Thanks. Thanks.

It was lust!

Most of my cravings are lust. Yes, they are just plain unreasonable lust....

I must have a very straight forward childhood. I have all basic necessities. I may even have more icing on my piece of cake compared to other kids. But that wasn't enough to spoil me. I was thought to stand tall with dignity on my feet, and earn things that I want to have. Obstacles I may have too few, because I usually get things I want, or strive to have. That's why...I always thought I get things when I deliberately ask nicely to have it.

This the reason I don't know why there are certain things I don't get in life. Like...recognition. Dad taught me, there must be a reason for everything to happen as it is. That's call gravity, but it's also life as it is. So, I don't get it when people say No to me. Which part of Yes don't they understand, here?

I am just like that annoying kid screaming on my decaying lungs wanting daddy to buy me that colorful lollipop hanging on the shelf. I have no idea how that sticky candy will taste like. I may not even like the taste of it after all. But I just feel I want to have that candy. Because deep in my head, I think I deserve that candy. I think I'd be happier once I have it. That's all....That is all....Why can't I?

But now...I didn't have that infamous candy...No matter how I tried my best...I didn't have it. I have been thinking nuts why...but I just let the opportunity passes me by.

If I have the chance again. If you will hear me say again. If you will believe my sincerity once more. I love you, lollipop!

But like I said...this is lust. Not love. I still don't understand how does a lollipop taste like. That's why. I may not even need that lollipop. It's ok, yen...this will pass. Take deep breather. It's lust. Not love.

I was a student again!

What a week ~ I was terribly nervous, stressed out and almost KO-ed. I couldn't foresee that taking a professional course (at this age I'm at) is speechlessly tiring. Of course I have been working for almost 10 years now, but preparing to study, revise and be assessed on paper is a different story altogether. No wonder people say "Easy to crap, difficult to prove" Gawd knows if I was a crapper. I'm sure most will say I was. And...therefore, yea I am a crapper.

So, I've put through that torturing days at BCLE2000 Professional Course for Business Continuity Management. I did my best, and I'm suppose to say I have no regrets. Hmmm...regrets I do have a few..but they doesn't matter anymore now.

I was scheduled to take this course at the end of year 2011. I hope this is a gift, a happy gift I receive before the year ends. If all well ends well, at least there's something to be proud of no matter how difficult the year had begun.

I really should have done this at a younger age. I regret I didn't see the importance of ...erm ... thinking ahead. I was too busy looking too far ahead, and that shaped me to be an...imaginary person. Ding Dong! Time to wake up, dino!! You got to know the purposes of life, somehow. And be certified is one of it, at least for this year.

So, what's up next year, huh?

my December 2011

I wish I'm at Makati City in a blink of eye. Blink..Blink..Blink..Blink..Blink.....Ok I am still here. Sadistic.

December was the best month I had at Makati. I miss the Symphony of Dancing Lights at Ayala Triangle. I so wanting to hear a Xmas Carols by kids and adults alike at malls now. I want to stroll the street at night with cool breeze brushing my skin, accompanied by colorful bright lights decorated at buildings or any corner of the street they can find place to set-up. I want to joke and guess if the shadowing figure up-front the quiet street is a real man or Jesus statue. I want to be there at Makati this December, so much more than any other month.

I wish, but I know how slim the chances are happening. I can't go.

I have a personal aim to accomplish next Monday. I want to go study again, and I want to try my best and get that gawd damn certification. I want to, like I've always wanted to be Associate Business Continuity Professional (ABCP) Certified. I hope I can, I will try to be. Om Ah Ra Pa Tsa Na Dhi. May I be bestowed with wisdom and mind clarity to pass this assessment.

Therefore, I don't think it is good time to dream yet. Life has it's time for reality, and this coming week definitely requires it. I have the blessing. All I gotta do is make it happen.
