I deliberately chose to have no rest before moving on to my new job… because I know I will still feel sad leaving NLP. Sabi ko nga this is good din as I have no time to mourn. Kahit nakakapagod ang work sa NLP at may mga reklamo din ako most of the time, i have grown to love my former co-workers. Mamimiss ko asaran nina Pao at John, kahit kay ate Jheng, ung pagbaby ni Badet sa akin minsan, lahat-lahat. Ive been with NLP for four years… during which Ive learned a lot of things and most of all, met a lot of good friends. I will miss the people Ive built good working relationships over the years. I am thankful that Ive met my former workers, down to the NANAs.

Last day ko nung Sunday, habang nag-aayos ako ng gamit ko… natanggap ko ung reply ni ate g sa mass email ko and naiiyak na ako. Buti na lng etong si jonas, inaliw ako sa haka presentation nya.  Kaya no crying scene, to my relief.

As of the moment, I am still adjusting to the sudden change of pace. Sabi ko nga sa isang former co-worker ko, I will also miss the energy of makati. Mamimiss ko ang maglakad from our office to EDSA or drop by Greenbelt chapel.  Sa ngayon kasi super laidback pa sa bagong work ko, well kasi di pa naman opening ng classes. We are required to be in school from 8am to 4pm.

Anyway, on Saturday, Rosary and I, with my ate, went to watch the part 2 of the Saguijo 2nd anniversary celebration. I thought part one ung sa Sabado, kaya pala nung Friday ung part 1. Sayang talaga kasi mas masaya sana ung lineup ng part 1. Pero okay pa rin ang Part 2 as we caught Itchyworms and Updharma Down. Galing talaga ng UpD… they played "Oo" and "Pag-agos."

I just heard this Orange and Lemons song over the radio while heading for work today - Lihim. Worth listening…

Bihag tayo ng panahon
At pagkakataong puno ng pangambang
Ika’y mawalay pa

Here’s another OnL song - Pabango Ng ‘Yong Mata… brilliantly penned, i say.

Wag ka nang manangis irog
Sayang lang mga luha mo
May paggagamitan ka nyan
Ako’y malapit nang mamatay
At saka mo na diligin ang libingan ko
Ng pabango ng ‘yong mga mata

Luha, kusa na lang dumadaloy
Sa mga pagkakataon
Nagpapaalalang tayo’y tao lamang
Pagsisisi, lagi na lang sa huli
Sa mga pagkakataong
Nakakalimot pagkat tayo’y tao lamang

PS: Saguijo at Guijo St. Makati City will mark its 2nd birthday at the end of the month with a two-part celebration. Part One is slated on May 27, with Ciudad, Pedicab, The Bitter Pill, Sugarfree, among others, lined up to play. (The Bitter Pill is almost like Pedicab… worth checking out) Part Two will follow the next day, May 28, with Updharma Down and Daydream Cycle, among others, set to perform. (i am not paid to do this, hehe… just promoting the place) I dont know how much the entrance would be, most likely it would range between PHP 110-130. Check out their web site - www.saguijo.com - for more info.

Current anthem - The Middle by Jimmy Eat World

Hey, don’t write yourself off yet
It’s only in your head you feel left out
and looked down on.
Just try your best,
Try everything you can.
And don’t you worry what they tell themselves
When you’re away.

It just takes some time
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright, alright.

I am just in the middle of the ride indeed. And for certain stuffs in my life, things are just starting to unfold.

ini na ang ulihi ko nga outing

Tension about a new beginning will fade quickly today when you are greeted warmly.
Embarking on a new venture could make even the most seasoned pro a bit nervous, so if today has you feeling tense, it’s normal — but not necessary. The day will quickly slide into a comfortable, friendly rhythm and you will be riding a solid wave of confidence. There will be so much warmth sent your way that you’ll feel right at home right away. New contacts are returning phone calls and emails — it looks like you are really on to something powerful, so keep going!

That’s my horoscope today… Well, it’s pretty accurate. In the coming days, my life will never be the same. Yes, I am pretty tense and nervous facing a new world… This is just living up to what Ive promised to myself.
