Happiness is not in the mere possession of money;

it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;

they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Life is a series of surprises, and would not be worth taking

or keeping if it were not.

Yesterday, I was surprised by the text message sent by the employee of Verdantpoint Corporation (the developer of my soon-to-be-new home). He informed me that my account with them is now ready for filing to the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF). He requested me to submit my latest notarized certificate of employment and compensation, latest one month payslip, my 2007 income tax return (ITR) and a detailed employee statement of accumulated asset value (ESAV). He also informed me that the status of the constructions of the house is around 45% and expected to be finish before the end of October.

I was so happy to hear that news. I am not expecting this early because I was informed by them last May that they will contact me by September and ask some latest requirements. More than one month earlier. Yepeeeeeyyyyyy……

As quickly as I can, I asked for a copy of our payroll for June 2008 and looked for my payslip last month. I also requested my certificate of employment and my ITR here at the office.

Then, early this morning I went to Pag-ibig Fund. I requested a print-out of my detailed ESAV.

Since I am not familiar on how I can go back to the office I asked the guard at Pag-ibig where I can get the jeepney or FX ride. He directed me to go to the crossing terminal. He also said that I can just walk going there.

Along the way, while I am looking for that terminal something funny happened. There’s group of three men walking by the street looking for the 7-eleven convenience store. Without knowing that I am also lost my way, they asked me where that store is located. So I answered them back, “sorry I am not familiar in this place in fact I am also looking for the jeepney/FX terminal and I already don’t know where to go”. They laughed at me. Sigh! But after that they also directed me where to go.

After few minutes, I got back to the office.

As of the moment, I am waiting for the release of my ITR and hopefully I can submit the needed requirements early next week.

GOOD LUCK to me!
