Today is my sister’s 29th birthday and as we were born a year and three days apart, I will turn 28 this Friday! Look at how small we were in this picture, and we even shared the same pillow. =D Her birthday is always a holiday (Araw ng Kagitingan) and growing up, our birthdays most often than not fall on Holy Week. Every year, we try to figure out the date when our birthdays fall and we rejoice if they miss that week. We will not be going out with the family and celebrating until Saturday, and Mon and I will be on leave this Friday as well because his sister and cousin will drop by our house.
Anyway, after almost a month, the results of the exam were released last weekend and I was right: I did not pass. It did not surprise me at all because I can usually tell and honestly assess my performance after an examination, the same way that I felt quite confident after taking the last part of my comprehensive examinations. It did not bother me at all because I was just waiting for the results for closure’s sake. =D I have other plans ahead and one failed examination will not prevent me from moving forward.
Tomorrow, I will be interviewed for a position in a humanitarian organization. I was really looking forward to that because I gave myself until June of this year to be finally working in the development sector, be it in a volunteer or paid assisgnment. =D I have lots of concerns, though, and the prospect of doing something different is daunting, but I am really fed up of the mediocrity of my everyday life. I just hope things will get a move on because I have lots of plans for the year. Go, fight!
