Chit Chat

Lunch time. Ayos. Kagaya ng usual naming ginagawa, nagpupunta ang batch namin sa isang conference room at sama sama kaming kumakain. Sabi nga ni Daddy Yu, pagkaregular daw namin ang tataba na namin kasi ang hilig namin lahat kumain. Kadalasan merong ilan sa ' min na may dalang food at syempe damay ang buong batch. Enough about food.
Kanina, kakaiba ang luchtime topic namin. Hindi kagaya ng usual na pinag-uusapan namin. Ngayon, religion. Isang bagay na kapag nagdebate kayo eh siguradong matagal na usapan. Nakakatuwa ding makipag-usap sa kanila tungkol sa bagay na yun. Di kasi sila ung mga taong iinit yung ulo mo kapag nakipag-usap ka tungkol sa relihiyon. Ang galing! Mas lalo ko tuloy nakikita kung gaano sila na mga intellectual na tao nga sila. Ang sarap makinig sa usapan. Ang sarap din makisawsaw. Magkakaiba yung point of view nila pero di sila nagkaclash kasi andun talaga yung respeto. Naks!
After ng never ending religion debate, bumaba kami sa smoking area a.ka. "pugon" (Kahit si Markie at Jac lang naman ang nagsosmoke sa 'min.). Next topic: Love life ni Markie... Hehe... Nasabi ko nga sa kanya na dapat napapakilig nya yung girlfriend nya kahit magtagal na sila. Bago pa lang kasi sila kaya malamang puro kilig pa yun. Hehehe. Di ako expert sa relationship dahil di naman ako experienced pagdating sa bagay na yun. I'm speaking from a girl's point of view lang. Karamihan sa babae gusto nila yung napapakilig sila. Hindi mahalaga kung may ibigay na mamahalin yung guy( though ayos din yun syempre. *wink* ). Ang mahalaga eh yung effort na ibinigay para dun sa ginawa nung guy. Kapag ganoon kasi mas nararamdaman ng isang tao na pinapahalagahan sya.
Another topic(kahapon pa to): Sabi ni Ivy at Jac sa mga lalake naming batchmates: "Advice lang, wag nyong sasabihan ang babae na malaki ang braso nya dahil maooffend talaga yun." Narealize ko, oo nga, offensive pero siguro kaya di ako naiinis kapag sinasabihan ako nun eh sanay na ko na sinasabihan na malaki yung braso ko. Hehe. Eh anong magagawa ko, malaki talaga eh(Diet??? Exercise??? Hassle yun eh). So hayaan ko na lang 'tong braso na 'to. :)

Just Glad

It's been almost five months since I've first met my batchmates in my workplace. I can still remember how they looked that day, how I was intimidated by ivy’s aura and how I find Jaclyn and the other ITTC people rowdy (just like us LB people). We really don’t talk that much. We’re somewhat divided into groups.

When I think of how we used to act when we were together I can’t help but smile. The bonding we have now is a lot different than before. Now, we eat lunch together and tell a lot of stories to each other(sometimes even personal ones). We’ve been a lot closer than before that most of us don’t feel awkward anymore. We can crack corny jokes without hesitation.

I’m really glad that they’re my batchmates. This mixture of intelligent people are really fun to be with. Whenever I'm with them during our breaks, I find myself laughing my heart out and at the same time gaining so much information. :)

Doubts and Choices

Even if you've thought of something so much before making a choice, sometimes you'll end up doubting if you have made the right decision. You'd find yourself asking why you chose that option in the first place. You'd be flooded by why and what ifs. But then, you've made your choice. You can't undo that choice unlike typing a word and erasing it after. Touch move. So what you have to do is face the consequences of your choice or make another choice.

Something About Forgiveness

I have just attended a self mastery seminar a week ago.
The speaker said that we should always forgive the
people who have hurt us or did something terrible to us.
Because it's a greater burden not being able to forgive than not being
forgiven by people whom we have hurt.
True. I definitely agree. Because if you carry the grudge in your
heart it would cause a lot of weight.
I've talked to a friend. What I have realized that there's worse than not being able to forgive
the people who have hurt us. It is not being able to forgive ourselves.
How can we go on if it's ourselves that's holding us back?
How can we forgive others if we can't even forgive ourselves?

Firsts

We all had or going to have the first time of things and events in our life.
I've recently had some of those firsts. I've got my first job, first pay check, etc.
I've noticed that I tend to be so idealistic about this firsts in
my life and sometimes I hate myself for being one. After an hour of sitting
in Glorietta activity center, I've realized, it's okay for me to be idealistic
on these firsts because ideas are all I have. I don't have experience on those things
so I rely on the ideas on my mind. Maybe after that first, I can stop being idealistic
because I've gained some experience that would make me more realistic. :)

Nang-iwan Iniwan

Traffic. Ano pa bang bago. Pagtingin ko sa cellphone ko. Wow! 5 messages received.
Naisip ko malamang forwarded. Malakas ang feeling ko na joke to tungkol
sa Ingliserang si Inday. Sakto! Tama ang hula ko pero ng basahin ko ang ikatlong message
nagulat ako. Hindi forwarded. May halong drama. Personal message. Isang kaibigan.
Naghihimutok. Nagdadrama. "Parati na lang akong iniiwan." Yun ang sabi nya kaya
napaisip talaga ko. Overstatement. Minsan nagfofocus kasi tayo masyado sa sarili natin. Sa katotohanan na iniwan tayo. Ayos! Umandar na ang jeep na sinasakyan namin. Kumanan papuntang Makati square. Iniwan namin ang mga sasakyang didiretso sa Sky Way. Naisip ko, ganon din sa buhay. Lahat tayo nang-iiwan. Tulad ng jeep na sinasakyan ko, iniwan namin ang ibang sasakyan sa daan. Magkaiba kasi kami ng patutunguhan. Sa buhay, kelangan nating iwan ang ibang tao. Hindi kasi magkatulad ang destinasyon natin. "O, mga Evangelista! dyan." Di ko napansin, kelangan ko na pala bumaba. Baka madala pa ko nitong jeep sa Libertad. Ngayon, ako naman ang mang-iiwan. Iiwan ko ang mga pasahero sa jeep at ang jeep na sinakyan ko. Kailangan ko ng bumaba. Simple lang ang dahilan. Magkaiba kami ng patutunguhan.
