Step 8264374 to my dream career...

Last night, I was YM chatting with 1 of my close guy friends in Australia…

This is my 1st entry on this site*… I don’t really have exact plans of how to go about this* since my life is constantly on the roll. But for now… I’ll just share my recent conversation wherein I was updating him about my Emirates Cabin Crew Application:

B Man: howdy ho, neighbourino!
ME: hiiiii :p
ME: hehe i stl dont have earphones but waassuppp
B Man: hehehehe
B Man: ur shocking!
ME: haha WHYYY
B Man: I will buy the stuff
B Man: and send it to you! hehehe
B Man: howd ur applications go?
ME: haha,, aaaawwwww
ME: ok heres the update on that:
ME: wait ill just drink water haha SORRY! :))
ME: drink water too so its fair :p
B Man: is Mc Donalds Lemonade okay?
B Man: heheh
ME: NO! haha… but since u might already be sipping it
ME: then ok :))
ME: u know emirates airlines? ...im going for that now... am super nervous by the way:/ but thanks cs i believe that at least at 1 stage of your life, you prayed for ME! :))
B Man: hehehe
ME: im in for my next inverview... on saturday:(( wah. which is the 5th level of interview
ME: 1: height weight etc; 2: talking, resume scrutiny, reach test, checking of skin, scars etc; 3: more talking, personal experiences, physical rechecking, teeth etc. 4: introducing yourself, question and ; answer, talking in front of the crowd etc. 
ME: its such a long process!!!!
B Man: wow..
B Man: you have been in my heart and thoughts for a while..
ME: i dno if its emirates / the agency thats hiring.... and also because so many ppl are applying for the same position thats why (i mean, whatever college degree/ vocation u have, youre eligible to apply for a cabin crew position right) but its harder than i ever imagined... so many steps and ELIMINATION ROUNDS... my 3 close friends already got eliminated :/ im stl sad abt that... but ill try my best to stick by
ME: aw, thank u:)
ME: its a super crazy process... and like... we dont know what they really want...
B Man: all u can do is leave it up to God..
B Man: Im reading JAMES 4 - boasting about tomorrow..
B Man: Its so humbling, and we ought to say "If It's God's will" :)
B Man: I know you are trusting in Him more than anything atm..
ME: like, theres this gorgeous girl who walked by my friend and i... and we were like, "shes so hired!" then she caME back and didnt even pass 2nd level... and my other model friend, and a really smart childhood friend didnt pass too... super unpredictable
ME: THANK U... i will read that before i sleep
ME: i truly, madly, deeply, wanna be a cabin crew for emirates... as in #1 choice, but i am also aware that something else might be up for me...
ME: so i wanna continue to just trust God and submit to Him whatever i do with regard to this...
B Man: those words are simply beautiful..
ME: i will be very, very sad though if i dont pass on saturday... but... I WONT CLOSE MY DOORS AND HATE THE WORLD.... wah... let's see :D

Whether I do become a cabin crew or not, at this time, I trust that there’s a bigger picture than all I currently see... I am very anxious though... But I won't stop heading this route until "I must" / until I know a clearer Plan B if this cabin crew journey is not looking promising.


To be a cabin crew is not “be-all and end-all” for me… But it’s on the very TOP of my dream list right now… It's been in my heart even before I decided to take my college degree. Let’s see if I reach it.
