Moving On...

Birthdays...

It is an excuse to catch up with people you havan't really seen for quite some time. :) And it was actually good to see them again.

Of course when people catch up, you talk about work. You talk about how things have been; how's the wife/hubby; kids(?); boyfriend/girlfried, etc. etc. But when you're single, well it's a whole different! You talk about:

1) work - YES
2) current events - depends
3) other friends who aren't there - YES
4) non-existent sex life - 50/50
5) and lastly your love lives - 110% YES

so main topic of conversation on my birthday: have we really moved on?

for some... yes.
for some... getting there.
for some... no.
for some... they refuse to do so.

where do I fall on these categories? probably on the getting there. I know I should be on the yes category. But basing on their and my definition of "having moved on"? I fall on getting there. There is that word "Closure" that people commonly say that I haven't really done yet. Well more or less because we didn't have the chance to get that closure. Or maybe I'm just the one that doesn't have that closure?

I mean I still feel a tinge of sadness when I think of the guy. Maybe it's because I lost someone who knew me or maybe just the fact na nawalan ako ng isang dream. More of the latter than the former, I guess.

But the more I'm thinking about it now, in exchange for getting one dream, I had to give up another. I mean that would be too selfish if I passed the board, had a great job and still get the guy right? hahahaha Siguro sabi ni Lord, "Tama na muna yung una. Enjoy the gift I gave you. Don't be too greedy now!"

Things will fall into place. I guess that's one thing that I have to think in order to keep on moving forward and eventually move on.

6 days...

6 days...

not worried about turning another year older...

not worried about changing my job from one company to another...

not worried about my lovelife... ok, I would be lying if I said I'm not worried. rephrasing...

SLIGHTLY worried about my lovelife.

other than that, I think I'm blessed with a great family, good friends and all in all a good life.

now all I need to think about is... magpapakain pa ba ako?

hahahahahaha... dang birthdays!

Time for a change is at hand...

So for the last two posts, I've been complaining about my job, well more like my direct superior :P

And now, I've decided to do something about it. I'm resigning by the 15th of October and will be starting my new job at the Fort, Taguig, probably a several days after. Hopefully they'll allow me to rest up a bit before formally starting my job.

So what is this new job? Well for starters, I'll be a staff accountant for a well-known law firm in 70 countries. We're actually the Global Service Centre for this law firm. And my boss is in the US.

So how did it go with my direct superior? hehe she couldn't react, that's because she's outside the country in training. And basically, she doesn't know yet(hehe). But I already told my officemates, Rein and Cathie about the move. Also I told my Manager that I was planning to move to another company.

Actually I am thankful that she didn't want to hold me and let me stay in GSC, because she knew that the pay wasn't that great. And she knew that she couldn't offer me more due to "Streamline" aka cost cutting.

So I have 30 days to train someone to become a new Superuser. I have asked Rein but I'm not really sure if she'll agree but probably not. I did offer that I come by after work for the first two weeks, just to check up on them. I mean I learned a lot from this company and I think it would be best if from time to time I could check with them on how things are going. We're still friends and as a friend, I am willing to help out once in a while.

Anyway I have to get some shuteye because I have to go to the office at two and I have to sign the Job offer first before going to the office.

The trip to Hongkong? I'd probably post it on a latter date. But just a gist, typhoon signal 9 was raised when we were there.
