12 hours of straight slumber isn't that bad considering I haven't had that in amost 4 years. Oh well.
I am about to start a new chapter of my life on Monday and it feels so weird that I'm still nervous about the entire thing despite the fact that I'm not even new at it at all. I just don't know what to expect since I have been living in a routine for the past few years and new people scare me. hehe. Seriously. I just have this aversion for making conversation just to befriend people who will end up not really being my friend because I'll realize we have nothing in common but was just stuck in one room too long and had to talk. Anyways, there's a lot of things that needs to be done before Monday. I have to polish on my world economics and prepare my requirements.. plus I need to buy new shoes. haha.

Enderun
Nice if they opened in 1999.. hehehe. Probably the best Culinary Arts school in the country. And the most most expensive one, I suppose.

Re-visiting
Some pics from last night..
14th.. 
Macke advocates "English-Only Policy"
corner?
"I don't like this too much.."
YOU
Had a very LONG day yesterday at JC.. Ended up visiting the office to have my clearance signed in the evening. I didn't get to see the reps though because somebody did not allow me to enter the floor even for a few minutes. I mean, I know I'm not supposed to loiter but I was half-expecting that she'll at least talk to me in her cubicle or (let's leave the 'talk' part out of the picture) at least sign my papers inside the production floor, but NO. Instead, Behng and I waited near the elev as the guard shuffled back and forth each time we had a message for She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. Talk about PROFESSIONALISM.
And just yesterday I heard from other friends that she was press-releasing that she purposely did not see us because "we did not say goodbye properly anyways". I was not aware that a resignation letter addressed to all concerned superiors (submitted May 9th, effectivity date May 31st) did not constitute enough formality to announce my resignation from my post. Or I guess she had wanted me to come speak with her, heart to heart, that I was leaving and enumerate the reasons behind my decision and probably provoke some kind of sympathy from her to make her say something earth-shattering to change my mind. What can she expect from me when the main reason I wanted out was because I could no longer work with her? I don't kiss people's asses, much less have respect for those who blatantly walk around playing god. YOU'RE NOT GOD. Stop acting like one.
It's funny how power changes people.
You don't have friends? There are pseudo-friends that can be bought through free lunch or inuman sessions.. But that's just momentary. Reality is, when you go home and face yourself in the mirror all you see is a person who may have what one needs (materially), but inside you harbor an empty soul.
It's true what Ms. J said a long time ago that if ever you acquire friends in this kind of business, that's just a bonus, nothing else.

2.6
Just random thoughts..
Been very busy since monday which probably explains why I'm not feeling so well today (took 2 tabs of biogesic since this afternoon and I'm still nursing a splitting headache).. I'm really tired but at the same time enjoying most of the application adventures with Behng (still can't forget enfra's daft HR person who can't seem to answer my HMO questions, among others).
Btw, it's our BIRTHDAY today and I would not have remembered if she had not greeted me after dinner. Can't believe I let myself forget. 2 years and 6 months. Everyday is a new journey.
I remember when we were walking along San Miguel on our way to Gale and we were getting all frustrated from the commute to the hassle of each application process and I think we were in the midst of arguing where to go next. Behng, in a near-anger fit, held my hand and said "basta wag lang tayo mag-aaway Beh." And instantly my frustration disappeared. Behng has that effect on me.
We were looking for older songs a while back and came across a Korean song from an old movie called Sassy Girl. I remember Biggx telling me about this the first time and how she cried and could not stop her tears. Well, I did see the movie myself and found it endearing eversince, subtitles and all.
To all of you who can relate to loving, losing and finding love again, here's something to end this post..
