if I said I Love You … What Would You Do?

Sayonnara …

I said goodbye to my second family earlier today. I handed my resignation letter effective immediately and I am just glad that the big boss accepted it … otherwise my four years tenure would go down the drain. People were surprised, they knew that at some point I would leave they just didn’t expect it to be so soon.

I filed a leave for the first two weeks of June last April and there no feedback whatsoever and no response to the follow up I made, I only knew last Wednesday that it was disapproved because of staffing issues.  For personal reasons I have to be overseas for these dates and I chose to leave … what I didn’t expect was it to hurt the way it did and I cried, cried like I did when mom died. Anj told me not to cry much, she said it’s not a loss but an opportunity for me to venture out on something new.

I guess I wasn’t ready emotionally to let go of the people I have come to love … it sucks and a part of me is afraid that with the separation I made with the company comes the separation of the friendship I have with so many people. I have become rather clingy ever since mom left after all friends are all I have right now and I hate the thought of losing them.

Before I went to the office to tender my resignation I made a promise to myself that I won’t cry … my friends would always be around no matter where I work and we’re just one text away from each other.  But that changed when I said goodbye to dodong and cried, I cried when I talked to Te Kate yesterday and I’m just glad I didn’t see Mitchy on the floor earlier otherwise it would have been too difficult to stop the tears from coming.

Weng, you are such a crybaby! I mentally scolded myself over and over … but you my dear reader must understand, this is my first job, a job I held for four years and leaving all these people behind was harder than I could ever possibly imagine. We said we’d keep in touch and am holding that thought close to my heart; my comfort words.

**Sayonara – It Has Been Sweet‏**

I suck at saying Goodbyes … so I’d do it in writing.

It has been an amazing four years with you guys, I’ve found my second family here and it’s painful for me to leave but the circumstances forced me to choose … I’m at the point where no matter how I want to compromise I can’t seem to have both.

I cannot begin to describe how thankful I am to have met all of you … so I guess this it …  and I’ll see you guys around.

So Sweet

Her: I don’t know if I should be saying this
Her: but I think I should before you would know it from other people
Her: do you know that he will be going on a date?
Moi: nope … I haven’t spoken to him in ages … and if he is then good for him
Her: he already asked her out on Sunday
Moi: cool :)
Her: are you sure?
Her: okies
Moi: yeah, are u worried about me?
Her: kinda…
Her: am always worried about you
Moi: ohhhh that’s so sweet and thanks … but am ok. I might not be if this thing happened two years ago … but I hardly know the person anymore.
Her: :)

And its true had this been two years ago I would have been disappointed like a mindless rag doll. But things are different now … what must have seemed like a sweet thing, the most likely match, the perfect symphony as others would have it doesn’t hold true now plus the person I used to know doesn’t seem to exist anymore and true people change but I’ve chosen to preserve the memory of who I used to know rather than deal with who he is now.

She might think I still hold the torch for him but I no longer do … it’s like that time when you say you’re totally in love with Leonardo Di Caprio after watching Titanic but in truth you’re infatuated with the character he played in the movie … uhmmm like falling for a highly idealized character of the person you subconsciously created. Just one of those Cinderella fantasies.

So … it’s safe to say am happy for him and if he chooses to keep me out of the loop then so be it.  As mom would have it, another person’s affair is none of your business.  But am really glad that she worries and that she lets me know … it’s very sweet and affectionate of her.

Sydney White

I’ve always been a sucker for romantic comedies and I just spent my rest days watching quite a bunch online, was planning on going out Friday night but decided against it the lure of the pyjamas, mug full of coffee and several movies kept me grounded. That sounds pretty boring not to mention dorky but hey … that’s me always and forever will be loner/home buddy. So I watched Sydney White, the modern Snow White teen movie starring Amanda Bynes and Matt Long. I adored Amanda ever since I saw her movie Lovewrecked and She’s The Man, she cute and has a lot of life not your typical sissy.

Sydney White is like a modern take of the classic fairy tale, where Sydney going to college to the sorority house where her mom used to be a member of only to fall under the hate radar of the sorority’s president … it’s another feel good movie with a happy ending and it’s nice not to mention the the “prince” is played by a dashing young man in the person of Matt Long.

Don’t they look good together??? *sigh*

Another round of happy endings … hehehe.

61st

Had she been alive today would be her 61st birthday. Spent some time in the cemetery to celebrate life and death and to remind myself that life must go on no matter what.

I miss you Ma, so bad it hurts …

Pink

Scouring through voluminous pictures scattered all over my hard disk drives and memory cards when I ran into this one. There are several of them actually, flowers in the garden of the most prestigious hotel in Baguio taken last time I was there sometime in April of this year. The garden was meticulously designed with several colorful flowers in pink, yellow and purple.

Last night I took a walk in the snow
Couples holding hands places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love

I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss

And someone to hold
Maybe, maybe (Maybe, maybe)
He’ll be all my own in a big red bow

Santa can you hear me?

And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is here
He’s all I want just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree

I really hope that you’re on your way
With something special
For me in your sleigh
Oh please make my wish come true

I want my baby (Baby, baby)

And someone to hold

We’ll be all alone under the mistle toe

Santa can you hear me?

And all I want is one thing (ooh ooh oh)
Tell me my true love is here
He’s all I want just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree

Wishing For My Own Edward … *sigh*

Albeit, this is way off the bandwagon already … but am catching on thanks to the ebooks a colleague of mine sent over at work. Am hopelessly falling deeper than ever with the Twilight series … I know I know this is way obsolete but better late than never right? The last series I got hooked on was Harry Potter, followed by the Shopaholic and now whew … am falling in love with Edward!!!

Listened to the soundtrack of the upcoming movie and I am very much enchanted with Bella’s lullabye, the music is just so perfect … no wonder Bella fell in love with it. *sigh* such a hopeless romantic.

The book “Twilight” is no longer available in any of the bookstores here, I should have bought one when it was first out … oh well … Yayen’s coming home for the holidays and she’s bringing me one. Yey!!! I’ve read it already but just like the HP series … am adding it to my personal library.

23 on the 23rd … presents are very much appreciated. lol!

hopelessly and madly in lOvE …finally!!!

That’s the personal message I have on my Windows Live Messenger used both at work and when am at home (it logs me in automatically the moment my notebook’s turned on). Now this message seem to have captured a few of my friends/colleagues attention, now is that so impossible? I mean couldn’t a rascal of a girl like me fall in love? Am a girl too you know … not like your super lady like, elegant girls but a girl just the same.

There’s this guy back in college who reminds me of Lestat (the image of how Lestat is s’pose to look like) everytime I see him, one cute guy I should say and very nice too. He never looked my way other than that of friends and am happy to say he’s finally done with college and is now a preacher of their religion.

When I saw House of Flying Daggers, I was smitten then and there by Jin played by Takeshi Kaneshiro 220px-Kaneshiuro.jpg because he looks just like that guy I fell for in college. *sigh* Both of them out of reach … so am loving them in silence (charoooootttt!!!). Am not giving up my religion for love … that comes first so Lee was out of the picture and Takeshi well … he’s out of coverage area tooo. Waaaaaaaaaa is this my fate? Is this how things are gonna be for me? (Drama -rama !!!)

Bwahahaha … am smiling as I type this post … I could stare at Takeshi all day long if given the chance (just like I would with any beautiful piece of art) . There’s also someone else I could stare at too for who knows how long the difference is with him I know I’ll never run out of things to say and that he’ll never be just another beautiful piece of art, he’s someone I can pour my heart out. Now that’s what I call lllllloooooooovvvveeeee …. *sigh*
