“I never expected this to happen” this was what came to my mind when I read her text message. I read her text message very early in the morning while it was still dark, I think ’twas at quarter to 3. My bestfriend, Cathy, put some smiley in it and guess what? I really never expected to pass that Civil Service Examination! Because during my exam, I can still clearly and vividly remember, due to excitement I woke up early, and prepared to go to my examination center. I’d never been there to Col. Serrano, Q.C. before. So I checked on the google map how to get there. That day I was not feeling well 🙁 and my mind had been very cloudy. After I arrived at Ali Mall, I rode a jeep going to Camp Crame. I asked the driver to drop me off Col. Serrano, he just nodded apathetically while smoking a cigarette. But I was wondering why the driver didn’t tell me to get off the jeep. I noticed that the place was kinda “MASIKIP”, and I already was at Camp Crame! I asked once again the driver, why did he not drop me off at Col. Serrano, he said he already told me to get off the jeep because we crossed that street. Okay so it was a round trip for me. Take 2, so I closely looked at the signs outside looking for Col. Serrano St. Then I saw the Col. Serrano signage, and got off the jeep. I was walking to go inside the school, it was a public school. Looking for my room number, I didn’t see room 21 nor there was a room 21. I entered room 20 hoping it was my room or there was a mistake in the room order. But the proctor was a little bit grouchy tsk, saying I’m already late though it was 7:30 Am by then I looked for my name but it wasn’t listed there. So another epic scene that I was in 😀 Going out of that room, there was a janitor so I asked him where the room 21 was. He told me it was upstairs, so I went. Lesson learned, YOU BETTER ASK OR DIE 😀 So now my eyes were brightened when I saw my room 😀 I was praying “Lord give me knowledge and wisdom to pass this exam.” When the questionnaires and answer sheet were given to us, I quickly scanned the questions, my eyes got bigger because of those difficult questions 🙁 I turned to Math question and this time my eyes got pretty wide open! I’m telling you it was very difficult!
So I had no other resolution to this ordeal, I left the result to God. I never expected to pass this exam because most of my answers were just wild guesses. I was holding on to this verse:
“For nothing is impossible with God.” Luke 1:37 NIV

Oh by the way, my best friend also passed the examination! I’m really proud of her. However, I feel sorry for my brother for he didn’t make it.
