bye bye

July 24, 2008

I just came back from an emergency leave. Clyde left this afternoon for Singapore. I just learned late Monday. He left me an instant message in YM asking me to go home Wednesday. I wasn’t even able to reply because I was in a meeting. Later that night I asked my boss if I could take a leave. I was concerned that he wouldn’t permit me because the 1st pass of Ops Planning was set on Wednesday and I was the lead on one of the groups. I had to ask anyway. It’s family matters after all. Good thing he allowed me. God bless his soul. Sobrang bait ng boss ko! : )

The idea of Clyde leaving is not a surprise. He’s been taking extra courses application engineering for this post in SG. This week, my mother has been telling me about Clyde leaving in a week or two but I still felt like somebody threw a glass of iced water when they broke the news that he’s leaving Thurday.

I should be thankful, nad I actually am, because I was praying this for him but then I was scared for various reasons. For him, it’s his first job and his first time to be really far away from home. I remember when I was in my first job, quarterlife crisis struck me so hard. Yun lang. Good thing he is with my uncle. I was also scared for my family in Batangas. Clyde is the one who disciplines my youngest brother. Clyde is the family driver. Clyde knows practically the things I should be doing but I can’t since I’m here in Manila. Haaay! Hirap ng malayo sa family. The one day I was there was priceless. haaay! I miss my family.

midpoint

July 16, 2008

It’s halfway through the month and I haven’t written anything because I’ve been busy with work, acads, random meet-ups with the lagunion pips. Some sites were also blocked for some time in the office. I haven’t gone home to Batangas for quite some time too. I haven’t even uploaded the pics from the kl-sg trip with Lovely which was eons ago.

So what am I to write here? I was thinking of texting friends to ask for a topic to write to but I might not be able to write what they suggest so I won’t ask na lang. Anyway, I just put the title without any idea to blog about. Just midpoint because it’s the mid of July. Last July 1, I texted my closest friends that we’re half-way through the year and I hope the 2nd half of the year be better for everyone. I had some sort of mid-year crisis. hehe

Anyway, yesterday, I had a thought that I’m always in the middle. Right now I feel like I’m a half-baked working student. I don’t feel I’m excelling in any of the two. More of the jack of all trades but master if nothing. But I can’t picture myself leaving any of the two because both are my diversions from the other. Labo?!

See… I have nothing to share (or perhaps I have something to share which I can’t put into writing). I hope the second half of the year will bring more good news to people dear to me. May the lagunion girls also find their better half’’s… hehe.. Wala lang. May half kasi. hehe
