Life.. 10 Days Ago

It has been over a week since I have not written in my website. During those times....

I quit my teaching post. And my one-month notice gave me little-but-precious moments with my colleagues and students. I have also met new friends (Pie & Ice). During this time, I sincerely thought of not quitting just because I could not let go of something so good.

I packed my stuff and returned practically almost everything I own to my house. Goodness, transferring to another place is a real hassle and I still hadn't learned anything from it. I can still feel muscle pain from carrying heavy luggage. Unfortunately, I'm still not done.


I started a new job. This is the reason why packed my stuff and headed back home. The career that I am having now wasn't really something I had in mind but it turned out to be so-far, good. The best of all, I don't need to rent nor will have big expenses because it's only 15minutes away from my house.

Rekindled ties with Girls of Sparta. I was fortunate enough to spend time with old colleagues and good friends Sharon and Chubby. Nothing has changed. We're still the same old girls who chat crazily over beer.

I have become a full-fledged morning person. Unlike in my previous jobs, my day would end at midnight. Naturally, my sleeping habit was a complete mess. Now, I go to bed at 10 and wake up at 5am during weekdays. It's ridiculously refreshing.

My new boss did not believe me. This sounds like the classic case of "The dog ate my homework."I came to work an hour late on Thursday because I couldn't find my keys. Since I am still new at work, I couldn't afford to be late. This may sound stupid but I borrowed two of my neighbor's dogs and prayed so hard that my 2 dogs, and my neighbor's pooches will guard my house until Papa and Aaron comes. Then my boss laughingly told me, "That's stupid. I don't believe it."
BUT SADLY, IT IS REALLY TRUE.

I made one friend at work who really cracks me up. Mudee came to our office a week after I started in HP. He's an ex-pat from Thailand and he really makes me chuckle. I had the opportunity to have a conversation with him over drinks and cigarettes, talking about the way of life here in the Philippines, some useful Tagalog words and those little incidents when strangers come up to him and talks to him in Tagalog when he can't understand a thing (I was definitely a witness to it!) I am starting to be fond of him that makes me want him to be one of my little brothers.

I've done quite major changes in my room. Since I'm back home, I find my bedroom to be quite a mess. So everyday, I try to do some changes and becomes quite surprised with the outcome. It still needs more work but it will be done pretty soon. Now that I remember, I have to put the poster JC teachers gave me.


The last quarter of 2010 seems very promising.
I sure do hope it stays the same for as long FATE could give.
