I was fixing the things at my table. Loose papers were put at the right places. My plate and tumbler were thrown at my bag to be brought back home. My personal files at the PC were cut and pasted to a flash drive... My heart was breaking. That area has been my comfort zone for some time now.

I could still remember my first day at this office. I entered a room labelled "Controllership", with much uncertainty. I did not know what to expect with my new work. I was not sure with the kinds of people I'll be working with.

The first few weeks were, of course, time for adjustments. (I messed up a bit, 'grin). But before I knew it, I found home.

It is just a small office made up of great people. I love everyone from the top management up to the utility personnel. Though often, there are demands at work, everyday is chill for me. I stayed there just for a year and a month, but such a short time was made up of beautiful memories I will forever cherish...

Everyday, I would come to the office running for my breath just to reach the 8:15 log-in. Relieving when I make it, distressing when I don't. But whenever I see this very simple spot at the entrance, my day always starts right.

I will miss these stuff which have been my partners for more than a year... my telephone, my printer, and my flat screen...

Plus the bloopers of a co-worker, who happened to be a shy-type, so I'd rather not elaborate on the details... 'wink.

Plus of course, the fun at the Controllership Department with Ma'am Nievs and Ma'am Jacq... I appreciate everything that I learned from them about work, about pregnancy and motherhood. #1 in the list: proper grooming, #2: always pose like a model, #3: marry early! lol. P.S. We're supposed to be four here, so I think you just have to guess to whom the shoulder beside me belongs.

Plus my lunchmates, who, are the reasons why, because of our daily desserts, I've developed a tooth for sweets!

Plus a super unforgettable retro dance number with my fellow new employees...

Plus the idea to write and share God's Word through blogging, after I read Ms. Maya's blogpost: smittenmissmaya.blogspot.com/2011/03/love-matters-most.

Plus the beautiful privilege to pray during certain events. I often pray at a small group, but never at a crowd of 70-80 people, holding a microphone. But nonetheless, the gift of prayer, whenever I sleep at night or after I wake up in the morning or before I have my meal, at myself or at a small group or at a big crowd, never fails to give me a sense of delight.

People tend to come and go from one place to another. But there's no such thing as accidents. It was not an accident that I've been in PCFC from September 21, 2010 to October 24, 2011, so as other employees who came and left after a while. It was according to God's plan. I just hope and pray that in such a short time of my stay there, I was able to serve my purpose and I have touched some of the lives there, the way they have touched mine.

I may not be able to pray anymore whenever there's an occasion, but my prayers for the company, for the employees and for their families, will remain. 

I pray that God will continue to bless PCFC and He will work in the employees' hearts. Everyday, may they find joy and passion in working not just for men, but for God*. I pray that the company will be Christ-centered, bound by service and love for God and for other people.

I'm not a fan of farewells, but let me take this chance to say, from the bottom of my heart: Thank you for everything, PCFC. It was such a blessing to be a part of the company and to be able to meet its wonderful employees. And as I said, my presence may not be there anymore, but my prayers for you will go on...

          *Whatever you do, work at it will all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Collosians 3:23-24
