And so he goes with the extra smile...

PART I

I am 2 provinces, 2 towns and a mountain away from Manila now. I dreaded of the missing cable tv, unavailable telephone lines and this, internet. By this time, you must have stopped asking why on Earth it took me long to write my second post (ehem, after almost 2 months?).

Apparently, after 10 months of isolation and distress from missing Manila..I found my answer.
I resigned, I'll be gone after the "30-day notice" from my Tarlac job. I sat at the office, spoke to my Bos and told him how it's not going to work.

How bad could it get when it's not how you wanted it to happen, to turn out, to work out or even just expected. Sometimes, we try so hard to be happy at work without realizing what is it really that makes us happy. As for me, i found out it was "accomplishment". I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough-oops! Was I singing? Anyway, it went something like that.

PART II

After admitting the resignation due to factors I myself is unable to accept, I felt far from the people who are capable to ride on with what I felt. Home was 2 hours away and it was 8pm, the shuttle went missing and I didn't know how was I supposed to leave or go "poof" from where I was. Either way, I wanted out.
Lo and behold, like an answer from the sky, dudes sent a message and asked, " How can I help? Do u want me to mit u?"
I still have it in my inbox, which I wouldn't even dare to delete coz I wanted a keepsake from what he intended. He knew exactly what I needed at that point.



He flew with a shirt, jeans and slippers all the way from house which I think was a 45-minute drive to see me. He must've been worried if I've gotten crazy and might see me straying on the streets which made him do that for me. Well, maybe I almost did, he just came on time to relieve me from turning into one and filled the space(s) I was having.

You see, I don't remember anyone who did that for me. It wasn't sinkin' in me that I actually even had a problem when he sat across me, by keeping it cool with a beer and soda.

The gist of the story is that even if I may have not felt accomplished at something, at least I know I must have done something right still, I made dudes my friend.

JR is definitely "sakto". Here's for you dudes. Love it!!
