DAY 27


TGIF!


I've been awake for the past 36 hours, guys! Taking a picture of mine at this moment isn't the best thing to do 'cause I am so haggard. >.<


My cousin asked me if I can stay with him at the hospital for today. I said I can, and so I have to endure two hours of travel from our office to Calamba, Laguna.


It might be a long ride, but it was "memorable". I was able to look back at our OWL Team building. I was really shocked by the familiarity of the place. Can you imagine it? Laguna is also a large place, and I was there. back where it all started. ;)


As I passed by WalterMart, I can imagine how silent and sad HE is. I can imagine how he asked me to look for our colleague. Those memories when we're still "friends" are coming back to me.


Then, the rain poured. It only reminds me of him...


I stopped at Jollibee to buy some breakfast, but I was startled with one of their service crews. He is a tall and skinny man. He has the same name as "HIM".. Though he's more handsome than OH. lol! (Peace OH!)


The day passed, and I still can't accept that things are reminding me of our precious moments. Until I came to the office and opened my Twitter home page. He's here again.. (CLARIFICATION: He's not the owner of the Twitter page. It happened that their names are inter-related.)

He's like a ghost. He's not physically here, but I can feel his presence.


I don't know if that's considered a good news..


But I know my heart shouts he's worth remembering.


Haha!



BTW, my cousin is already discharged from the hospital a while ago. His platelet count is already high, according to his doctor. I saw the recommendations and doctor's advises to him. It was written in pure Tagalog, and we're both laughing as we read the instructions. We're not used to doctor's prescriptions in our vernacular. It's usually written in English. Haha! Things changed, perhaps. ;P



He still have to visit his doctor on Monday. I hope nothing bad will happen in the next days so that he won't be confined again. I ask for your prayers so that he'll have continuous healing. :)


Well, I am BACK with my lengthy post. Haha! I hope this will happen again in the next days. Fingers crossed!

The Year-Long Story

You might skip this post and think that it's a wordy one. But please, it isn't what you think. Hehe!


Today marks the first year anniversary off my stay here at this SEO company.


A year ago, I was desperately looking for a job. I need to win the deal with my parents. I'm happy I was able to stay here in NCR after getting this job. ^_^


A year ago, I was hopeless. I was terrified of going back to the province. I was terrified of staying so far away from an important person.


Today, it doesn't matter where I stay. It doesn't matter whether I'm here alone or with my parents. What matters is that I'm happy with my profession. I'm happy with where I am.


It'll be hard to step out of your comfort zone, yet it's the best way to strengthen yourself. It's the best journey you'll have to take as early as possible to grow up. :)


Happy Anniversary to me! ♥

To Begin with February..

It might be waste of time, but that's all I have.


HOPE.


January passed already and it's love month again. Hello, February! However, I don't have the chance to welcome this month with enthusiasm and excitement. This month means grieving, mourning, and remembering the love that I used to have.


I've done my usual routine - look back at the past and treasure OUR happy moments. As expected, this gesture sent fear, pain, and depression to my heart. I wish he was here to hug me and to tell me that everything will be fine. But, reality hits me, he'll never be present to fulfill my needs. He's a new person now, able to live his happy and cozy life without me.


I've read all my promises to him. The promise of never letting him go. The promise of holding on to the relationship. But now, he's gone. I'm left all alone, with no one to hold my words. However, another oath had been revealed to me at those articles. My promise to let him go when he found another woman to please him.


"I'll watch him smile with the new person who make him feel complete."


It's one of the lines that's been lingering my mind. I don't know how I can manage to do it, yet I believe I'll find the right time to do so.


For now, allow me to welcome February, the love month, with the hope that I'll still be with the man I truly love.


And the slightest hope is all I have...

13 Faces for 2013

Before I welcome new people in my life this 2014, I would like to take this opportunity to thank 13 people who influenced me last 2013. They might be somebody I've just met or those who never left my side amidst our busy lives. Some of them loved me while others hated me. Some of them gave me challenges and gave me awesome lessons. Again, as 2014 begins, I would like to thank you for being part of my 2013..


P.S: Numbers doesn't mean any ranking. :))


P.S.S: You might wonder why I won't include my parents, my siblings, or another family member. They've been part of my whole life.. and they all knew how thankful I am that they're part of it. Just a simple post isn't enough for them. ^_^



Here we are:


#13: Jose Mari Villalva

He already knows why he was somebody to thank for this year. However, I still want to introduce this amazing man. I wonder what he'll gonna say when he read this post. (If there's any chance that he will read this.)

I met him last January during my application as a placement writer. We're both scheduled for interview and he was the first to come. We were chatting and chatting before he was called by the interviewer.

I will never forget those thoughts about the highly-advance N3310.. I was really, really sleepy that time, but was awakened by those jokes that he's been telling me. We're really having great time installing high-tech applications to the recent 3310. I wish he'll be able to fullfil his desire to sell that kind of phone in the future. Go Jose!!! :))

Most memorable thing about him? PRETZEL! Hahaha! He asked me a huge favor after shift. We stayed at Mini Stop ('cause he has to go home at 8 o'clock am and drop by the drugstore) and he bought a box of pretzel for me. Nyay! I'm really looking forward to eating at Mini Stop with you again, Mr.. :)

One more thing. He's a great photographer. I'm already considering to get his services for the official photo coverage of my wedding. If he can find some time in his busy schedule. :)))

Well, thanks so much Jose! Thanks for the friendship.. Thanks so much... :)


#12: Jo Hanna Garcia a.k.a Ate Honey

Team Avengers! Yehey! She's my team leader when I started at my work. I will thank her forever 'cause she assigned the uber handsome Nate to become our trainor. (OUR, meaning Jose's trainor too.)

When I first saw 'Team Avengers', i thought every team names talks about a movie or anything that's animated. Well, when I transfered to Team Jom, I eventually knew I was wrong. Hehe! I guess Ms. Honey was too overwhelmed with the film that's why she named it that way. :)) Sadly, Team Avengers is gone. TT___TT

Enough of that bad news... Here are some of the most memorable things I had with Ate Honey:

- Keep your comments concise and straightforward. (She always tell me this. I mean, ALWAYS!)
- "looking forward to"
- "Your trainee can look for great blogs, Nate. How about you?" (I know this is translated.. but I can't forget the exact words from her. I think she mentioned it thrice when Mr. Nate is still here. Haha!)
- baby talk (She's the only one who can do that in the team.)
- links about the 50 Shades Movie. (Harhar! She usually updates me about the movie.)
- any link that she found in the internet which she think is amusing, funny, or will motivate us to work harder
- She always think there's something between Jose and I. Haha! (I know Jose is a great guy, but he's JUST a friend.)
- She was the first one to guess who the real OH is.. but I refuse to tell her that her guess was definitely right. Hahaha! In the end, she also knew it.. since OH told her about the blog. >.<

I miss her. Really. I miss the only girl in the group who looks great when she baby talks. As far as I know, she's now working with the morning shift people.. but I don't see her when I came as early as 6pm. Hmm.. Wherever she is, I'll always be thankful that she's part of my 2013. Thanks Ate Honey! :))


#11: Javier Josemaria Asuncion

He's special not only because he has a very long name, but 'cause of his shared knowledge as well. He's my TL from April to September. I can list some important stuff that I learned during his tutorials. Those websites about grammar and composition that he shared for future references. Hmm..

Here are some words which I associate with him. Some of this are already known to him.. I don't know if he knows that story behind all of them. Hehe! Just don't ask for the details 'cause I won't tell you why. :D

- natural curiosity, usi
- "should you..." "should we.."
- "what the"
- "daheck"
- coffee
- dreams
- blue heart
- tsuna
- anime
- scarf
- YoungBlood Hawke
- frog / prince
- May Crush Ako, Ikaw ang Clue
- umbrella and the rain
- Takeshi Yamamoto

.. and many more. I can't recall all those words that he usually uses while editing my comments. I adopt some of the words he loved to use from time to time, hoping I can get some OK's from him. Yes, call me trying hard, eh? Hehe! But that's OK. Him being my editor is a great challenge and a nice way to learn. :))

My friends know some hidden stories about this guy, and my other blog can say how different he is. However, due to some personal reasons, our paths have to part.. I missed all the fun while he's beside me. Guess I have to say godbye to him this year. hehe! :)


#10: Rioñina V. Ocampo

She was once a very, very, very silent teammate. She seldom speaks, nor reacts to any of the jokes that Nate was saying. She just want to finish what she has to do without even minding those others around her. Honestly, I never expected that she'll approach me, until that night came. :))

She was my only buddy for a couple of months until the reshuffling was done - again. I guess I was also  like her; we don't want to know other's business 'cause we think we really dont have to mind about it. We just want to finish our work assignments and just go home after the shift. Yes, we smile and greet others, but we don't talk to them that much.

We also lived at the same house for a month.. only to part ways due to that evil housemate. Hehe! I don't know if there'll be another chance that we can stay together again, but I'd love to have her a my roommate again. :)

Hey Rio! Your Lotlot and Miggy stories are really awesome! How about finishing the love story to be, eh? Thanks for the friendship. I never know until when we'll be staying here, but I'm pretty sure we'll still make more fun and maldita moments in this office. Hehe! I know you look like a grumpy person, but they should be reminded you're a sweet and loving friend. Thanks for sharing 2013 with me. :)))


#09: Angelica Macasinag

A friend of a friend. She was Rio's teammate when we started talking to each other. (As I told you, I don't talk to anyone in here. Unless they approach me or ask me something.) What more can I say about this girl? Hmm.

Her life is always in "danger". She knows what that means. We have the same passion - writing. We can always think of a plot for our stories and write them. (Well, when we have some time to do it.) We love books. we love literature.

Though there are times that we "clash", we're still friends until now. (Thank God.) She might have some annoying suitors that piss me too, but then, I can't blame her. ^_^

What more can I say, Angel? Haha! You just came to my doorstep with your pink travelling bag, stayed with me for a few months.. and now, you've been on your own. I know it's hard to be independent with all your "kaartehan", but I can see that you can manage yourself. Learn to listen. Our words dont want to harm you. :))

#08: Maricar Hortillano

This girl reminds me of my dear childhood best friend who's name is also Maricar. Hehe! I wonder where she is now, by the way.

Maricar H. is a classy girl. Sophisticated, I should say. She's one of the kindest person I've met here in the office. (Well, those three girls are kind in their own ways.) I never thought that she's gonna be close to me as we're friends today. But here we are, friends. :)

I wish she'll find her true love this 2014. Hmm. Somebody who's name starts with J?? :))


#07: Albert Nuel Navarette

Our supervisor. Our friend. Someone who wants to confirm certain secrets hidden between our conversations. Haha! He's the reason why I knew the real of name of Mr. Jeepney. :)) Thanks to him. :)

He's somebody who can rely on when it comes to work concerns.. but not on your secrets. haha! Just kidding sir! :)


#06: Xerlyn Joy L. Brinces

Anyeooong!!! haha! I'll miss you girlash! :))


Thanks for the friendship.


And for making funny statements about OH, Popoy, and our Dance Instructor in Pink. :))


I'll wait for the invitation card for your wedding with CAP. :)


--------------------------------------

So yeah.. ENOUGH of the new people in my life. Time to thank those who never give up on my reckless and bitchy attitude. :)

#05: Ann Bangate Tomagan
#04: Llana Garcera
#03: Mark Lester Moises


#02: Ryan Ferrer

I know how painful it is to be my ex-boyfriend, but he never left me. We have faults, and those faults made us understand that some things are worth fighting for. He might not be the best guy in my heart, he's somebody worth the last chance. :)


#01: Luis Quiped Jr.

Why do I have to include somebody who broke my heart into pieces? Simple. I'm thankful that he did that. If he stayed with me, I won't be able to realize how pathetic I am for the years that passed. I won't value my friends who listened to my cries. I won't realize that my life was wasted for pleasing him.

Honestly, I wish he won't find happiness in his entire life. I want him to suffer more than I did. I want him to feel insulted. I want him to realize how wasted his life is. He's a coward. He can't face his problems right away. HE always escape to all the decisions he has to make. He's bad at THAT. (Y'all know that.) He can't "stand" for long. (Here comes my naughty mind again!!!) Whatever! I REALLY LIKE TO CURSE HIM.

But.. since I'm a good person.. I wish him all the best. :)




Oopps!!


I forgot one person.. or two. Haha!


Well, I can't include all of them.



Maybe on my 2014 year-ender. Hahaa!




Goodbye 2013..



..finally. :)
