di ko maintindihan...
bakit ginagawang malaking problema and isang bagay na hindi naman talaga problema.
bakit pilit ginagawang mahirap ang buhay, hindi naman kailangan.
bakit sa lahat ng oras na mangyari ang mga "problema", NGAYON PA?!!??!?!!
WHATS UP??? please release me, let me go...
departing from my very angry thursday, i spent the night at tricia's place to get some "stuff" done. hay. im back to being "dotted" again.. well, at least for the next 5 days or so.
today's concern is about finding a place in hcm. gosh. i really hope i find the perfect place that suits most of my qualifications!!! if im going to be alone there for quite a while, then i might as well find a place that will keep me happy. haha. baka cause pa ng lungkot ko yung tirahan ko. hahahaha.
so, if anyone knows of affordable ($500-$600) apartments in district 1, please let me know. i swear, pupuntahan ko every single vacancy if it means finding the perfect one.
okay. i feel much better today compared to last week's state of panic. haha. slowly but surely im getting work done and getting things ready for when i leave. i suppose i have enough time. if not, i will have to make do with the time i have.
got to go on my physical check-up this morning. timing was good coz i finished fast. although, im still in shock after being (wo)manhandled by the doctor. hahaha.
a new countdown begins. since i really dont have a ticket just yet, im counting down until the 26th of july.
im quite sure my patience isnt running short over a particular client because im leaving. i have been feeling this growing sense of frustration, disappointment and disgust at how some people (no matter how nice they are) manage to take advantage of gasso. and we let them. malapit na ako dumating dun sa 'tama na, sobra na. to hell with you.'
its not a matter of amount of money but more of principle of it. we are in business afterall to make money... heck, we work our asses off and manage to smile at the end of a really sucky week because we all need to make money for ourselves. ano ba naman yung ibigay what is due... fairly proportionate for the quality and amount of work, effort, thought and passion was put into it.
hindi naman sa ATM ko didiretcho yung pera, but i care enough for gasso to feel slighted by this. hay nako. minsan nakakasuka na talaga. i think im most happy im leaving at times like this.
since pat has made an informal announcement already, i might as well make my official statement.
june 17, i have my resignation from GASSO after 5 colorful years. to say the decision to leave was easy is true. not because i harbor any ill feelings towards the company, but because the opportunity feels right. i could go on about all my fondest memories here at GASSO but that might just make me senti. for now it will be safe to say that i have had a LOT of firsts here. next time na yung senti post. maybe on my last day (which incidentally is GASSO's anniversary).
so where am i moving to? vietnam to work for Cowan Design, still as a senior account manager but handling south / southeast asia. starting around end of july i will be living in ho chi minh (aka saigon). yun lang. plain and simple but its the biggest decision ive made so far, and im proud of myself. :D
i have a growing list of things to do before i leave. hahaha. more updates to come for sure!!!
thak you to everyone who prayed for me... :) this would not have been possible if not for your support. i ask you please keep me in your prayers.
i have to write this down, or else im going to flip out. my fingers are cold.. well, so are my feet come to think of it. my heart is pounding to say the least. it feels like its beating its way out of my chest cavity. tomorrow lunch is SO DAMN FAR AWAY!
i hope things go well... that this anxiety is a sign of better things to come. please say a prayer or two for me.
i still cannot get over how moved i am by lora and larry's story. no matter how i try to put it into words, its really hard to explain how they have touched me. i dont know if its because ive grown more and more jaded and their relationship has reminded me that great things can and still do happen. in any case, it was a powerful event to witness.
everything was perfect in all its simplicity. balai taal looked so serene and cozy, larry looked excited but calm, and lora.. my goodness, lora... what can i say. she was stunning. i will have to admit that some brides dont look like themselves on their wedding day. they're beautiful, yes. but its like its some other person. lora was radiant... but you can still clearly see her quirky-ness shining through the beautiful bride that she was that day. :) naks. everything just felt familiar, cozy and sincere. there. that's the word i was looking for. SINCERE. i think every single guest really felt the essence of their relationship. and that's a rare thing to take away from attending a wedding.
anyway, im starting to sound looney. hahaha. to lora and larry, may you continue to inspire more people the way you have inspired me. :) im glad you guys have your happy ever after.
oh, and its was really great to see the girls again. kahit na for a time nagpaka-auti tayo sa table natin chatting away.. hahaha. we should get together more often.. and talk about C and her infamous glasses and neon socks again. hehehehehe.
got my all weather autosampler from lily last night and its soooooo pretty! :D
i cant wait to take it out for a spin. wuhooooo!!!
