Should I stay? No! I should go!

I'm starting to count the days as I am on my way to leave everything in the meantime and venture out to a new industry and career. Yes! I have finally signed my new contract yesterday 1/31/2011 and the feeling was a mixture of excitement (as I am to travel abroad, literally anywhere!), fear (I don't know the heck will I encounter with the type of stressful responsibities on board, sana kayanin ng katawan ko), proudness (syempre, this is it! I am on my single step towards my dream! to become a chef and travel the world). I only have few documentations left to submit and I'm all set. Napilitian ako mag secure ng planner (c/o Avie Cuyugan) to track my hectic shedules for my remaining dys here, of course including budget.

One thing that bothers me today is kung magkakaroon pa ba ng performance bonus by end of February so I can still render up to that deadline before I entirely decide to leave my employer. Pray ko lang meron so I can buy my new dream phone, HTC Desire HD para while nasa cruise ako, I can easily access wifi connection for FB purposes and strictly connected with my families and friends. At kelangan ko din ng extrang allowance to start.

Eto na to, sana lang dere derecho na to on my way to stardom.. hehe.. Moreover, I wish myself luck and I know that God is alaways there to push me up whenever I need strength and guidance as I know that God wouldn't allow me to be in a place where there is no good purpose. As I plan ahead, I'm confident tha it's God who plans whatever it is that I should be ahead of.
