It never fails to amuse me how fast time flies. It was just like yesterday I was having a blast working in Yahoo!, then being transferred to United Airlines where hell slowly began, which soon ended up to my first ever resignation.

But to sum it all up, 08 has been a good one for me. Despite the obvious hardships and almost everyday exhaustion I had at work. It was good nonetheless. Like I’ve said, getting new experience is always welcome.

IBM will always be special for me. It was the first company I’ve worked with and it is a good one no doubt, but due to some circumstances, I had to go.

The feeling of leaving a company you have worked in for a year was so weird. I remember the day when I was about to go to the office to pass my resignation. I was incredibly happy for the fact that I’ll get to have a long rest, but there’s the feeling of missing the company and people you have worked with. It was not really a good feeling, but it seems like it was the best choice and right thing to do anyway.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right?

Probably the best thing I’ve learned this year was a work ethic lesson:

‘Stay if you’re happy, leave if you’re not’

I’ll definitely remember that for a really long time, as I continuously try to write everyday and get my old flare in writing back. And I will.

Swan Song 4

Mary Joy de Lara and Danna Rica Francisco

The Library Queen / El Humano Braso and The Libido Queen / Alluring Scorpio

We refer to the GameSho, M-jep, and Darlo group as ‘Thesis-mates’ until now. Or sometimes ‘Ka-chillax’ (which is with Mr Carlos.)

I really grew fond of these two girls and I miss them so much! Too bad our Alluring Scorpio’s too busy this December with her teaching work, we didn’t get to go out this month.

I love M-jep for her weirdness and enthusiasm. And she’s one of those people who can endure my slight tendency to be a a so-called narcissist, and of course my never ending complains about every little thing.

However, I can’t say the same for Darlo though. I find her inner weirdness, ummm weird, and she’s a bit on the pessimist side. But soon, I was able to love her slowness and all.

GameSho: Starbucks tayo. Treat kita. ^^ (Let’s go to Starbucks, my treat)

M-jep: Let’s go!!! ^_____^

Darlo: Bilog ba ang buwan mamaya? (Is it full moon tonight?)

GameSho and M-jep: *freezes on their track* ……… o.O

Both seating on the floor in the AB hallway while waiting for class to start as we recite our favorite balcony scene.

M-jep: Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say good night till it be morrow.

GameSho: Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast! Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest.

After theses meeting.

Darlo: San ka pupunta pagkatapos? (Where are you going after?)

GameSho: Megamall!

Darlo: Sama ako, para naman makameet ako ng Ortigas boys. (I want to go with you so I can meet Ortigas boys)

GameSho: ……. o.O

At the archives section of the Manila Library.

GameSho: Ang baho!!! (It stinks!!!)

Darlo: ………..

GameSho: Bakit ba ganito amoy dito? (Why does it stinks so much here?!)

M-jep: ………..

Reciting our favorite ‘Emperor’s New Grove’ line/scene while waiting for the professor.

GameSho: I bet you weren’t expecting this! Aha! Whew, that was close!

GameSho and M-jep: *laugh*

M-jep: And I never like your spinach puffs…. Never!!!!

GameSho and M-jep: *laugh*

Darlo: *busy talking with boylet*

Happy. Happy. Happy.

Though I haven't posted anything in the past weeks, I'm was able to write again. Hope this continues.
