’twas in the summer of 2005, april 18 to be exact;
where 48 individuals of various personalities and backgrounds
found themselves lumped together at the farthest end of the
company room awaiting their training

familiar faces, not necessarily friends grouped together..
forming little clans here and there .. mayhap, a mini west side story scenario
mini-groups based on the college/university the individual graduated
biases and hearsay beliefs that were handed down from generation-to-generation arise
thus, creating a faction even from the start
’twas nobody’s fault actually..it just happened and came to be..
no one tried to stop it..no one tried to hide it..
funny how we still co-existed even then.. hmm..a tough bunch aren’t we?

in between all of these, existed the individuals that decided to be by themselves..
they belong to none of the clans.. they don’t respond unless asked..
they do what they do.. but they were considerably civil and sometimes friendly to
everyone else..

it didn’t mean that we didn’t get along.. we do get along.. sometimes,
most of the times depending on the people we were with..
see? some people we really are.. we are so unique to the point of being picky..
ehehhee… but with good intentions..

we got along so much that heated discussions were spent on religion, current events and even the
decision on the batch name..
everyone of us will always remember how the batch name forty-eight came to be..ehhee..

it doesn’t mean that we are individuals that have very bad socializing skills…
bonding activities that involved all of us deem impossible.. what with our large number
and most specially our very unique individualities, where one has many things to say while
others just doesn’t say anything at all.. hehehheeh

but still there are memories to cherish..of the 4 years in our company..
we only celebrated 1 christmas party!!!heehehe..
among others.. (what are the others? hmm..ehehhe)

one interesting thing about us is that we’ve come a long away..
so long that some went on their own way finding fulfillment in other countries,
in other companies..
the 48 individuals back in 2005 became 18 survivors now in 2009..
a rate that is very fast compared to other batches..

just last saturday, we celebrated our 4th anniversary..
with only 18 remaining people, we’ve planned to celebrate..
and celebrate we should.. who knows who’s next to go?
to celebrate the coming and going of friends, batchmates, colleagues..
a reminder that who and what we have around us do not remain constant…
that there would always be change.. that all we have to do is survive..

we weathered it all and shall weather it still..
ganbatte to us 18!!! cheers to the rest of the 30 friends who
have gone before us finding their own success!!!

thanks 48!!!
in another year is our 5th anniversary.
how many shall we be?

no one including me wants to be sick..
and in the most crucial of times, sickness/fatigue/stress caught up with me and here i am at home, bumming out..and why crucial?????
i have deadlines!!!!!!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaa.. as in deadlines and i am so so dead!! (ehhee..metaphorically speaking)
Oh sickness, you must be kidding me right?

tsk tsk tsk.. whew!!!
well, my fever started yesterday late afternoon and it just came out of nowhere..
i started feeling chilly all over and i felt so weak…my head ached, my stomach is in pain, my muscles are fatigued..ahhhh.. just bad.. hehhe
what to do? nothing.. just doing my best to be better..
drinking lots of water, eating lots of fruits, resting (sitting in front of my pc includes resting, right?hehehe)

i am just literally walking on dark waters..ahaha
It was last week, i think May 27, that the skies totally opened up and poured all its waters down.
RAAAAAAAIIIIINNNNDRROOOPPPSSS of water came falling down my head..ehehe
Together with a friend of mine (halu Misil ), we went to McDonalds after going to the gym to have dinner. ehehe.. eating directly after going to the gym is the best routine don’t ya think?
Anyways, while dining at McDonalds, the rain started to fall down. Now now .. the night’s getting late and the rain seems to have no plans of stopping.. We were itching to go home and yet the heavens didn’t want to close up for the night..
Uh-oh..without much further ado, we decided to ride a taxi going home. the whole purpose of riding the taxi is to get home fast and avoid getting drenched..
well that purpose to me seemed to have lasted only until i arrived at the intersection near my place. heheh..
I thought that i had bought some time to wait for the rain to stop; however it didn’t.
As i looked at the alley, water was rushing forth (lisora i.explain oist..bsta nigawas na ang tubig sa eskina..ehehe..ng.english shortage najd ko..eheh) The water was just minimal and confident that i was wearing rubber shoes and thinking that i will be able to get through the watered alley without getting much damage to my pants, i treaded the dark path.. but just as i turned around the corner….
..
..
i found myself standing with the murky water rising up to my knees..
Anywhere i turned, i saw dark water.. and there was no point in turning back for the alternate alley going to our house is surely flooded and the pathway was more dangerous..And so with all the courage left in me (ug naa pa pd untay bangka nisakay na unta ko..ehehe..), i walked. huuhuhu.. paet “frustrating” as it can be, i tried not to think so much about it.
..
..
The skies would have surely laughed at me..
But then the rain fairies were not contented with the surprise they gave me. After having fully accepted the situation that i was in, i was in for another shock. The water invaded our house… huhuhuuh..

I then saw my mother and sister carrying buckets and getting water out from our house..

Hmmm.. i planned to sleep early. well, i did sleep early, early in the morning. ..hehee.. Girl Power!! we were all girls in the house and we finished the water chore at around 2am already..whew!!!!

wet .. tired.. i then went to bed oyasumi..
so much for rainy days and weekdays.. i’m glad the rain poured to freshen up the green life, but hopefully i would not experience the same thing again…eheheh

it’s been a loooonnnggg time.. a really long time since i last uploaded an entry here..
life has been quite busy

2008
this year will surely have some good promises and surprises for me.. adnd i’m very much looking forward to it..
furthermore, i’m looking forward to having more entries here..

and looking back at the year that was.. 2007 .. that year will always be memorable..
it was a year of sugar and spice
of laughter and tears
of journey and seclusion
of brighter days and darker nights ( or even gloomy days )
of adversity and redemption

i’m so so glad for another year. i’ve got so many things that i planned to do.
i shall take my time and cherish every moment.
to everyone, cheers!!!
