A Fortnight of Change...
The day has really come! A lot of changes is upon me and I'm happy. :)
Timing ang lahat eh. In a way, everything that has happened the past few months was perfect.
Let's look back for a while...
After having a horrible 2007, I was so relieved that that year has already passed. I thought, 2008 can't be any worse right? It's true! My 2008 has been great so far. But it didn't really look that way a few months ago.
Nothing much happened at the start of the year. But probably for the first time, I was really happy with my job. I know that I was doing a great job and a promotion is in store for me. My teammates are great, and in a way, they made me feel less lonely.
There were still moments when I faltered. But those moments are rare, unlike last year.
Then on March, my mom got sick. She's always been so strong so it's been unusual for me to see her that weak. I was really scared and was so worried sick about her. So I thought, things are not better at all. Thank God, she recovered.
Then on April, my good friend Joanna (thanks jo!) invited me to join her in her trip to Hong Kong. That was my first real vacation in my entire life. Away from everything. We had the best time at Disneyland and my whole trip was great! I traveled to Macau and to most of HK alone but I was so happy and at peace. In a way, I really felt free. I really got away.
A week after I came back from my vacation, a company has offered me a job. You see, this was a real surprise for me. I don't remember applying to their company recently, they just gave me a call. I just gave it a try. I thought, why not? I won't lose anything naman eh. As a I said earlier, I was happy with my current job then. I came to the interview expecting nothing at all. A few days later, I got an offer. The job they offered me is something that I wanted to pursue for a long time. Unfortunately, my current employer did not give me an opportunity to pursue it. The job offer I got is just way better from my job now so I didn't really think twice. I took their offer and signed with them.
That same day, I resigned from my current job. The process of my resignation became really tumultuous. There was even a moment when I thought that I would lose the opportunity. It's great that I didn't!
Yesterday was my last Friday at my current job. I had food delivered for merienda for my current and previous team. To my surprise, they threw me a surprise party and brought tennis-ball cupcakes and ice cream. I was so touched. They even gave me tennis balls where they signed and said some really nice things for me.
Thank you so much guys. I really appreciate it. I will forever treasure them. Is not even a question if I will miss you because I'm sure I will. I felt so loved kanina, didn't expect it. Thank you is not enough to express how grateful I am.
Today, a notable person in my life is settling down. I am happy for him. I'm still gonna drink a glass or two tonight, but I have accepted it now. I wish him all the best. He has no idea how much I wish for his happiness. I wish he knew and I wish that I was able to tell him at least but anyway, congrats C. You deserve to be happy.
I'm starting at my new job on Tuesday. I think that it's also a start of a new chapter of my life. I think it's gonna be great! I am really excited... Not just with my new job, but with the new life I'm gonna have as well, :)
