Fasting and Prayer

      Every Thursday is the scheduled day for prayer and fasting of the prayer warriors of the church. Since I got nothing to do, I attended the sessions and today is my third time to attend this endeavor. During the session, each of us will read ten verses in the bible consequently and we will have some sharing of thoughts of the verses we have read. Before we will have our praise and worship, we will talk about the different prayer requests of the church. In this portion, I get to know the different problems of some of the members of the church. Hearing these problems made me realize how lucky I am to experience minimal hardships. It made me appreciate the kind of life I am living. It is good to know that I am so loved by God. I also been able to appreciate the women and mothers of families. Since most of the prayer warriors are mothers, I get to know their pains, sufferings and hardships with regards to their families. They are like sponges that absorb these things. They are the ones who are affected the most when something is wrong with their family and they would always try to seek for solutions to make things right. It made me admire their toughness in facing their problems. As they would always say, if they would face it alone they cannot do it but with God's grace they kept on moving. As always, nothing is impossible with the Lord.

Free Saturdays

     I am officially not enrolled for the second semester in my MBA class. Our request to open first semester subjects was not granted by the registrar. This means that I have a lot of free Saturdays wherein I could leisurely stroll wherever I wanted to go. I would still have to follow up my grades in my academic writing subject where writing research papers had been the final output. I am anxiously waiting for the result of it because I am not confident with the output I submitted.      Since I have no class every Saturday, I do not have to worry any academic reports, assignments and other requirements. My Saturday schedule is very much available for any trips or outings with friends and family. There had been a lot of rejection of invites before because of the conflict of schedule with my MBA class.        Now that I am free from academic activities, this Saturday’s planned schedule to have a road trip to the southern part of the Philippines. I was never been there before and

Research Paper

Thesis writing is now unstoppable. I am now enrolled in in my Special Problem subject and it would the last phase I needed to complete before I could graduate with my MBA degree. When I started out studying again to attain a MBA degree, I was informed that a special problem, maybe it be thesis, feasibility or case study, is needed to be submitted and get the approval of a panel in a defense inorder for the MBA degree to be given. My initial plan is to conduct a feasibility study on any income generating venture and that is it. Since I stopped and was not enrolled for a year, a new curriculum was implemented and thesis was required for submission before I could graduate. Moreover, if two-three students per special problem output is allowed before, today it is by individual wherein one student, one output. It only means I have to do my thesis on my own. I never tried doing a thesis before and my personal perception to it is that it is very difficult. I have tried doing feasibility stud
