Absence

Well, it's been quite some time. Over 2 months that was spent in a hectic blur.

Last February I was rushing for the Finals of the semester. Paper requirements such as that wretched Production Plan and the reflection papers I had to submit. The upside is I'm extremely happy with the prod plan we made. I mean, the business we looked at looks extremely viable. So yeah. That's something to think about in a few years when I'm financially secure.

Then I had a job interview before the month of love ended and then March came in. It was spent waiting, packing, and then finally moving back to Manila. Meh. Unbelievable. After 16 yrs, more than half my life, spent in Davao, I finally move back to Luzon. On my own with no one to hold my hand. Just as well. I'm too old for asking help from anyone.

It's quite ironic. The last time I stayed here for long I was just a kid who knew nothing of the machinations that went around the collapse of his family... Anyways, I'm here on my own with my own burden that I chose to carry and I'm hoping for the best. I have nothing to show to my kin and kith because of what a couple of my close relatives did. My branch of the family has lost face.

So here I am. Working and happy with the job despite being still in training. I'll be damned to oblivion if I don't show a decent showing.

This also seems my chance to finally develop other areas of my personality that were repressed while I was in Davao. I don't know what it is about my mom but she really put a dampener on my social life. Curfews, questions, recriminations and all. I wish I could whine but it's not beneficial... and it's not really mature...

No time for games. A pity. But there's always a tomorrow. For now, I have to focus on my job.
