Am I Ready?

After getting my visa, the next question that people are asking me is "Are you ready?"- My answer is YES!(haha!)I'm confident that I'm ready. I already got my vaccinations,read my online trainings for cultural adaptability, started packing my things and buying stuff that i will need. There were some adjustments that need to be made but I'm HAPPY! :)

-Traded High heeled shoes and ballet flats to sneakers
-Traded leather laptop bag to back pack
-Traded dresses and skirts to pants/t-shirts

I'm not a back-packer type person, Im always a girly-girl(who likes dresses,shoes and all those girly stuff). But, I'm willing to explore,try new things ,and adapt to experience this new adventure in my life :)

Why INDIA?

A lot people have been asking me lately, why India? Just to avoid further comments or questions,I always answered them with a smile. I already heard a lot of not-so-good feedback going to India but never crossed my mind to change my assignment because after I got accepted for IBM CSC, I promised myself that I'll accept any location that will be given to me.Being accepted for the program is more than enough and I don't want giving trouble to the program managers just to have me re-assigned somewhere else, given the fact that it takes a lot of time and effort to group a team of 10-12 people with different skills, diverse culture,and not to mention considering their preferred locations when they applied for the program.

Forget about the not-so-good comments and feedback- it's all about learning, experiencing and accepting different culture. It's all about embracing diversity. I'm happy where my assignment will be, I'm happy with my CSC India 15 team, and I'm forever will be grateful for this life changing experience that I'm about to experience wherever it will be.

My 2011

When most of you are already celebrating the new year. Me, I'm taking my time to write how my 2011 was. It was like a roller coaster ride, there were ups and downs.My relationship with 2011 was like a love-hate relationship. Pushed me off my limits, tested my patience, learned to forgive and love deeply.
This was also the year that I got closer relationship with God, learned to pray from my heart and continuously searching for my purpose in life.Even if, until now I haven't found the answer but I'm patiently, and continuously praying for God's guidance . I also learned to accept things that I never would imagine that I could accept. I've been hurt deeply and hurt the people that I love, but continue to love more selflessly and deeply.
2011 was about rediscovering myself, deeper relationship with my siblings, reconnecting with friends and getting to know new people. Some became my close friends, and some remained acquaintances.
I am grateful for the year that was and will continue to learn, discover, and wander. Now, I am ready for the new challenges that 2012 has to offer with an open heart :)
