E is for Ever Thought Of Me?

Dearest Future Special Someone,



It's funny writing to someone you haven't met yet. But you see even though I really don't have any idea who you are, I have been thinking about you already. Well, of course, anyone who is looking forward to being in a relationship someday is thinking about their future partners. Like, thinking about how does he/she look like, what are his/her habits.
I am thinking completely different. At this time, I admit I am thinking about you. I am wondering what are you doing at this very hour. Are you with your family? Are you with your friends? Do you have a girlfriend right now? Or, what do you feel at this moment? Because I am curious what's happening to you and what's going on your mind. Are you looking at the stars and the moon right now? Where are you? What songs are you listening to? Have you been praying for your future special someone too? I am even hoping that you are writing letters for me too. I would really, really, really love to read them someday. Maybe we have been writing at the same time, we didn't know we were answering each other's letters already. I am really curious, have you ever thought of me too?




Yours truly,
 Your Future Special Someone

C is for My Top 5 Christian Movies

I'll be sharing a bit of a summary of my favorite Christian movies. I have already watched these films and they are truly inspiring. I hope you'll be interested too in taking a spare of your time and watch them also.
Pardon me for my format. I have writing this while in a bus so I don't have time to check formalities. Anyway, have fun! :)
These are not in any order:


1. Fireproof
A 2008 movie which is about marriage. The story revolves around the hanging 7 years of marriage of Catherine and Caleb. This is really inspiring because it portrays true forgiveness and that the only way to succeed over any matters, even failing relationships, is to accept that only Christ can bring salvation to it.


2. Facing the Giants
The story is about the coach of a football league who has been going to a struggle of leadership, witness and family. Despite the losses his team has been encountering, he decided not to quit for his team and even changed his way of leading by trusting only to God's provision. The challenge is added when he learned that his wife cannot conceive a child because of him. No matter how big the giants we are facing in life, the movies inspires us to have faith to the Greatest Coach we have.


3. Soul surfer
Based on a true story, Bethany is a natural born surfer. She has been joining competitions and has been winning many times. But a tragic accident happened when one day, while surfing on a different beach, her arm was ripped off by a tiger shark. She lost her left arm just below her shoulder. Her life story is a witness of faith and the importance of a family's support.


4. Courageous
The movie is about fatherhood. The story revolves around the lives of four policemen who have their own unique life stories. They all have one calling, that is to serve and to protect. And this calling does not end in doing their responsibilities in the community but as well as to their families. This is an inspiration to fathers and even to sons and daughters which can help us realize that commitment to God is the best tool in serving fellowmen wholeheartedly and courageously.


5. Letters to God
This an inspiring and heartfelt story of a boy who at a very young age was diagnosed with cancer. Despite his difficult situation, his faith has led people around him to also have faith to the God whom he knows have the best plans in our life. He learned to be happy despite the pain because He has a wonderful relationship with His God.

B is for Before There was You


When I used to look above,
          all I saw was sky;
       and every song,
          that I would sing,
                 I sung not knowing why.

All I thought and all I felt,
              Was only just because,
                Never was it ever you –

                    Until it was all there was.

One of the poems I can mostly relate to, at this moment, by my favorite modern poet, Lang Leav.

A is for an Auditor's Life

A quick glimpse in an auditor's life.

Back in elementary and high school days, I remember nominating and voting for students for the student body organization. The set is usually composed of a president, a vice-president, a secretary, a treasurer then an auditor. Every once in a while, I have been nominated and elected to the positions except one, the auditor. But now, I am studying to be one.

I have never understood back then the work of an auditor. I have always thought that auditors are just like a helper of the treasurer. The auditors will count the money collected then the treasurer will be the one to keep them. That’s it. I have never thought this position matters or even important. I just understood how significant this position is when it started to sink in to me that I can be a future auditor someday since I took the Accountancy degree.

 So, what is really an auditor?
An auditor, in a layman’s definition, is someone who examines accounts in order to make sure they have been recorded or done correctly. They are responsible in expressing an opinion as to whether the financial statements audited are free from any material misstatements or fraud. (Refer to the Independent Auditor’s Report)

Quite interesting right? Especially when you know that part of an auditors work is investigating, examining, finding evidences, testing data assertions gathered and other detective-like works but focused on financial aspect.

I have been doing my internship for almost two weeks and I have seen how not easy an auditor’s life is. It’s the audit season since tax filing is due on the 15th of April so companies are rushing to finish their financial statements and have them audited right away so they can correctly file their taxes. As much as they are in a hurry, so are the auditors since they have the most relevant part.

I have been brought by the auditors to join their field work. We would come to this client and do the audit work. We would all face paper works and our laptops the whole day that it would really hurt my eye. And since we would audit a whole year of transactions, audit would require days and sometimes even weeks before finishing everything. We would come back to the office at the  late hour in the evening, usually at 9 to 10 pm and they would stay there overnight still just to finish their work. They would do this because they do not just audit one or two clients. I’m not in my workplace how many are all their clients but based on the tasks they assign as to do, I think it’s more 15. I have footed 3 financial statements, my classmates have done more than 5, if I sum them all, they’re all more than 15 and they are in finishing the audit process. I see these auditors as zombies. They do not have proper sleep, diet and exercise for almost 4 months. But they still love their work. They still talk about it, they are proud of it.


In the future, I might be one of them. But for now I don’t want to worry about anything yet. I’ll take one day at time. I still have major exams to pass before becoming an official auditor. These are one of those things I know worth sacrificing for.
