Smell the Flowers

After a very difficult past week filled with prayer and contemplation, things finally seem to look brighter. (And it’s about time! My blog was starting to depress so many of my friends!) Baby Zoey was extubated yesterday. She hasn’t fully recovered, but I believe she will get through this. They’re running a few more tests today, results to come out tomorrow. Hopefully, if all goes well, my sister can finally hold her.

Also, I flew back to Manila today to make a very testing decision, and in the battle of work VS family, I chose my family. I must seem pretty insane, giving up the job thousands of girls dream to one day have. In fact, I thought to myself “OMG, I’m totally feeling Anne Hathaway in the Devil Wears Prada,”ย only in my case, the Devil is actually a very kind and understanding boss, and the only things they probably have in common are their esteemed position and the fact that they actually do wear Prada. But after millions of pullouts, two issues (yes, two issues equate to a million pullouts), and a very unfortunate event, I am left with no choice but to leave Preview and fulfill my duties to my family in this time where I am needed the most. I am filled with so much emotions- sadness, anger, frustration, relief- yet I also feel numb. I’m dazed and quite literally confused. (Can you even be metaphorically confused? See? Im confusing my confused self already.)

As to where I’m headed, I’m not quite sure. All I know is this isn’t the end. Thank you, team Preview for being nothing but understanding and encouraging. I really do hope we cross paths once again.

  1. Don’t feel frustrated over the job kryz! ๐Ÿ™‚ That job was killing you anyway. You were always exhausted, sleep deprived. It was making you (kinda) sad more than its making you happy. Well, atleast your niece is continuing the fight. Hope all goes well! Goodluck to you and your family! Love lots :*

  2. Its sad to know that youโ€™re leaving your luxurios jobs that every girlโ€™s dream of (including me), but I understand your decision though. In life, we have to make decisions and make some sacrifices in exchange for the other as we canโ€™t have anything. I just wish you the best and for the recovery of your neice.

  3. hi kryz,

    my family and I are also having tough time now but God is always in control and knows what’s best for us

    so keep believing, and count your blessings

    i leave to you a verse from the book of Luke

    โ€œSo I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Luke 11:9-10 (NIV)

  4. so sad to hear that you’re leaving Preview, but yes, you’re family needs you more. i’m sure that when everything falls back into place, you won’t have a problem finding another magazine job (or any job you dream of in the future!), since you’re a very talented & smart girl.

    praying that your baby niece recovers soon.
