8:36pm: Simple Update

I guess I deserve a long vacation now, I think I have been working so much in our store. If you’ll see me personally now, I bet you’ll be saying the same line which my other friends tell me when they see me: “Wow, ten lagi ka atang puyat, anong bang ginagawa mo?! Stress ka ba?!”. Honestly guys, lagi nga akong puyat, its really hard getting my sleep nowadays especially when I’m on a closing schedule. Now, I’m on my 7^th month here in Starbucks, I’m still enjoying my work as the perky and bubbly barista in our store. Some of my friends often ask me if how long I will stay with the company, I simply answer them, “As long as my passion for work is still here I’ll stay!” And besides, it’s really hard to find a new job this past few days especially there’s a new a batch of graduates this school year so it’s a big no for me to give-up my work now. Working here at Starbucks is one of the greatest things that happened to my life. I have learned a lot of wonderful lessons from my co-baristas and I’m very thankful that these people helped me to become a better person that I am now. Thanks guys!

In terms of my love life, I’m proud to say that I’m still single and I guess I’m not yet ready to have any serious relationship right now especially that I’m more focus with my work and my family. But to tell you honestly, there’s this certain person who is making me happy right now. I won’t give any details about this person because I want to keep his identity for the meantime. All I know is that we’re both enjoying what we have and he’s one of my inspirations now. How I wish I could tell him about my feelings towards him but I can’t. I guess I’m not yet ready to confess it to him. I might lose him again and I don’t want that to happen. For now, I think it will be better for us to stay as friends. And I believe that in due time I would be able to tell him everything and I really hope that he’s ready for it.

10:15am: So-called bestfriend story
It was year 2000 when we met each other through a common friend. As far as I remember, it was our school's foundation day at that time. With your expressive eyes you easily caught my attention.

I thought that it will just end up there. Until our paths had crossed again with a simple phone call which started everything. Sometimes we go out for bonding purposes but most of the time we spend it through the telephone with our never ending stories. With these simple things, it helped us to know each other deeply. Until such time, I suddenly discovered something to myself, I was falling for you. I decided to keep it as a secret for the sake of our friendship no matter how hard it is for me.

On the long run of our friendship, I made a stupid deal with a friend concerning your feelings. I never thought that I could hurt you but I just did and it was very painful for me. Until you decided to end up everything which made my entire world break into pieces. Losing someone like you made my life so complicated. I prayed so hard for you to come back but it was useless. Until I learned to live a life without you. Some people tried to replace you but they failed. I guess no one will replace you. As they say, there could only be one.

Five years had passed, we got connected again with a phone call. It was a right timing because I was at the stage of depression after losing the one that I loved. You did your best in helping me to move-on and I'm glad that you did that despite of everything.

Even though things will never be the same again for the both of us, its enough for me to say that I'm happy to have you back again.

11:41pm: She's Back
I guess everyone thought that my blog would remain dead forever. Before I don't have any plans of updating it anymore. If you will notice, almost all of my post here were about him, but since we're not together anymore, I don't see any reason to update. Until I realized that I still have other things to post here. That's why you're reading this entry right now. I'm going to share with you everything that happened to me this past few weeks that I have been gone.

If you read my previous entry, I mentioned about my break-up with him. After the said event, things started to become uneasy for me. I know I had several relationships before him but surviving from this one was hard. I'm just thankful that God blessed me with a supportive family and understanding friends. Without their existence, I might be a total failure now. Besides from blessing me with wonderful people, He even blessed me with a new job opportunity at Starbucks. Before accepting the offer, I made a big decision of leaving my team at Club Astoria. It was very sad indeed especially when I said goodbye to my friends especially Cryss, Penny and Jel.

During my first two weeks on my new job, I did a big adjustment. Shifting from marketing to operations, it was hard. But with the help of my new sets of friends, it was easier for me to adjust. As of the moment, I'm celebrating my first month in the company today. To give you an update, we had our store meeting yesterday. We discussed about our preparations for the upcoming Christmas season. I'm really excited about it.

I guess I'm not yet ready to love again after what happened to us. I just want to enjoy my life being single by doing the things that I never did before. For the past few weeks, I went out with my friends (online and offline). The only thing that I won't forget was when Archie and I went to Glorietta Mall three days before the bombing. We did a lot of playing at Timezone especially the game Deal or No deal, it was very addicting. By the way, I'm a certified Timezone addict because of the said game.

One more thing before I wrap-up this entry, I updated my wishlist for Christmas and my birthday, feel free to view it. See you guys on my next entry.

11:00pm: Finally
After three months of being a "tambay" at our home. Finally, I have a job now, I'm now part of the growing family of <a href="http://astoriaplaza.com/">Astoria Plaza Hotel</a> in Ortigas under the marketing department. Too bad I can't be placed at the front part of the hotel because I'm a bit small, of course the would prefer placing tall people in the said part. :(

As I said awhile ago, I'm part of the marketing team as a surveyor wherein I promote to our clients our Zen Card (discount card) and our holiday ownership program. At first, I had a hard time on my job because we have this certain quota that we have to reach during the day. I remembered my second day in the job, I almost cried because of stress and so much pressure. I even called up my Mom to tell everything. She just told me "That's okay dear, naramdaman ko din yan dati but if you feel that you can't do it anymore, you can quit and find another one, its okay with me, don't worry". Of course that helped me to stay calm but it didn't triggered me to stop. I don't want to quit, its too early. What will happen if I quit now? Nothing. I will just go back in being a "tambay". I would rather stay there for awhile than doing nothing at home.

Besides from being a workaholic, I'm also busy playing my character at <a href="http://www.tricksteronline.com/">Trickster Online</a>. Its a cool online game just like Ragnarok and Rose Online but I like this game better. :)
