I wish I could tell you all my heart’s content, but I LOVE YOU will do for the mean time. I’d really really wanna grow old with you.

yep,finally reached this point. i thought

and thought

and thought and well,

figured out that this is what i really should do. this is what i wanted. 

resigning from my first job was something that i was pondering on for a loooong time already, hell of a long time it surprised me that i managed to stay for 16 freakin months! ain’t tellin this is the right thing to do, at least, i have no regrets.

and looking back, i’ve nothing much to brag about, career-wise.

BUT, i have met wonderful people,

reaaallly great people (i’m cryin right now,gawd) i call friends, whom i regret to leave. (i bet this is the only thing i’ll regret)

and they are them that i find it kinda difficult to leave work. truly, they are them who, sticking trough thick and thin, became a mother, sisters, true friends that  i might not meet just about anywhere.

and i guess, my job hunting in the future is less anticipated because i know i won’t meet the same people that i grew accustomed to in that darn place.

like what i posted some time ago, i felt like i won the ms. universe title. mixed emotions. happy that finally, i’ll be looking for a newer, fresher job that’ll give me MORE self- fulfillment. i’m not sayin that i didn’t have time to grow in IMDPI, but that, i could’ve been better. 

a bigger part of me is sad (darn tears!) ‘cause i’ll be leaving “good” friends. and when i say good, they are a bunch of boisterous-laughing, chikka-talking, good-ol’-tripping girls/ladies, (ANGKUKULIIIT) all rolled into one. LAAAWWD, I’LL DEFINITELY MISS THEM!

ATE CARLA: or carlabels (as coined by “mader”) who left the earliest, one helluva fun “ate”..always ready to listen to you and help you out

VANESSA: the prettiest, most gorgeous in IM (i actually would’ve a crush on you..hee..if i were a boy) also one of the most lukaret, sossiest and the most emotional amongst us all

ATE ANNA: the bomb, the yummiest..lukaret din..hehe..one of the funniest(lol)

JENNIFER: i’m fond of callin her “fer” or “efer”..the most talented and most caring..iyakin din..peace ;) 

KAYE: the uber kiddo in our group! metro girl (since she’s from QC pa..hehe), but the kindest

ARLENE: my “bebs”..always have the kid in her heart (kaya click sila ni kaye..hehe)she’s actually the most patient in our circle..funny and loving in her own ways

CATHY: or kate (DAW)..HA!HA!short-tempered but sweet..impossible at times..hihi..let’s say, small but terrible..she’s the closest to me, next to bebs, ‘cause we have a knack on everything..a tit for a tat..i guess, she complements me in a way (hoy!meh utang ka pa sakin na joey pep!!!)HA!

ATE LES: our “mader”..the funniest, youngest (at heart) and the best!she really stood up for the role of being our mother..

I LOVE YOU ALL! no words could thank you enough for having met and shared fond memories with y’all. but i wish THANK YOU would suffice. 

some already left and claimed they are on a nicer breathing grounds, some are still tryin to make it through to finish the bond. as for me, I AM SO READY TO KISS IM’S ASS GOODBYE. THANK YOU!

P.S.

to everyone else in the pioneering batch of IMDPI, thank you for treating me well. good luck and may God bless us all!
