after 9 months of hard work, we have successfully accomplished the migration project. it was a great achievement for the six APAC cluster 3 countries (SG, BD, KR, ML, TH & PH) that was part of this critical endeavor. i am personally proud of the fruits of our labor. and its another thing to have impressed the big bosses of the regional team. it was not an easy task to harmonize data and processes of two different multinationals. it was a fun learning experience having to coordinate with different nationalities and cultures. to the cluster 3 ficus team - cheers!!! a toast for future successes to all of us.

that being said, the project also entails a drastic change in my career path. since the accounting stuff have now been centralized to another team (after the migration and all), i have been offered to be the SOX Coordinator of the country and at the same time part of the regional testing team. new challenges and a new role to play in the organization. its a bit scary, because its all alien to me. after more than ten years in the accounting profession it is only now that i will be exposed to the internal control audit part. i'm sure its gonna be exciting and another brain draining activity. i like that.

i have three out of the country assignments in line supposedly this August till Sept (Indonesia, Thailand and India). but i can only be available in two. because of my surgery on wednesday. sad. its going to be my second surgery apart from the two c-section deliveries. now its time to remove the left kidney stone. i'm not worried, i have good doctors in medical city to take care of me. i would just like to heal fast. like in a zap. hehehe....sayang yung Indonesia trip which i will miss. anyway, marami pa naman next time.

i am just thankful to the One up there for all the blessings and the trials as well. yes...and the trials. without them i will never appreciate the good  things in life.
