Last week

Okay, so it's unofficially my last week of work in the office this week. And true to my form, I have been looking left and right for reasons not to get too lazy or too apathetic with what little stuff that remains to be my responsibility. Until few hours ago, I found none. Hence, it took a great deal of effort on my part to show up at work today only to pretend that I am bustling with important stuff that needed to be done.

It turns out that I needed only to show up and open my e-mail (yes, my ever-dreaded email) and voila, work was there packed in an annoying red dot with a number superimposed on it.

I should have been happy, right? Wrong. Instead of finding a reason to be busy, I found a reason to be sulky for still receiving work this late in the game. Hello! I have resigned people. Don't give me work that I won't be able to finish. Naman! Kayo rin naman ang mahihirapan no.

But oh well, good thing I had lunch with Ker and MakMak (one of the last few we'll be having during lunch here in Makati--awww). It kinda relieved some unnecessary negative vibes from the office.

The walk back from RCBC to the office helped too despite the scorching heat of the sun. I suppose it accorded me some opportunity to be alone and think about me and my future. I realized I'm really excited to start in my new job and definitely anxious to end the present. More than anything, I think it's the change of scenario that I appreciate the most. Kind of like what I felt like back in college when all I could think about was leaving the Philippines and never coming back. But that's another story for another time. Right now, I'm focused on the inevitable change. And this change is good.

I like it. And this time, I really hope it lasts.
