Moving Forward

If you guys are wondering how I'm holding up these past few days, since Kari left, the answer is... I'm surprisingly fine. Her last days here in Manila was torturous for me, but it was great that even before she left, we made up.

Add to that fact, Madz, Mommy Tessa (another colleague) and her kids kept my mind off Kari's departure by bringing me to Puerto Galera for some fun under the sun. I had a great time, soaking up the sun and wading in the cool, crystal clear waters of Galera. Plus, the adventures we had?!? It made everything so worthwhile. I left Puerto Galera a new person. I was refreshed, renewed and I got what I wanted out of the experience: I got my Tan & I forgot about my best friend leaving.

When I got back to Manila, reality set in. I had to help out my Mom pack up their stuff for LA. My Parents also left for the US, the day I arrived from Galera. I wasn't able to bring them to the airport anymore because I had work that same evening.

Everything was a blur these past few days. Seems like everything is slowly going back to the way it was before I even met my Sissies, sans the Bum Lifestyle. Not that I remember that far back.

My life, right now, is fairly simple. I wake up, go to work, spend my Lunch Break with Robert, Melba, Melissa, Micko & whoever is available, go back to work, wait impatiently for the time to run, have REAL Lunch with Madz & Tessa after my Shift, go home, run errands, and sleep. And it goes on day after day. Routinary, I know.

Today's my First Whole Day without anything to do. I woke up very early and cooked breakfast for my 2 Cousins and my Brother. Since I wasn't in the mood to cook lunch, I brought my brother and my cousins to Lunch at Omakase for some Sushi. We, then, went to the Alabang Town Center to browse around and go walking. We got home at 4:00PM, and I just went online to check my mail.

My brain's been fried with work, and now, its not working. But I am happy about being able to move forward from a Month-Long Depression.

I don't think about my friendship with Kari going bust anymore, since we still get to talk, like the old days. I call her up in the US and we talk. She emails me and we exchange thoughts. It just seems like she's working for a different company, not a whole ocean away. And, great news, she's decided that US life is not for her. She's coming back after their vacation. Not to HDPP, though.

Now, I can look forward and move on. I am secured that my friendship with Karisa will never change, and I am happy about that. I just hope that work will ease up in the next few weeks, or I'm really toast!
