Life Goes On

Well, I'm back after some time. And no, I'm not depressed. Hahaha! I think I'm actually learning! Hahaha!

What's going on with me right now? I'm with a new company (yet again!).

I'm now working at GE Consumer Finance. I'm happy there & I hope it'll be my last stint here in the Philippines. Not that I'm leaving or anything. I believe in what GE stands for & the work I am doing there.

What else is new? Hmmm...

I've been keeping touch with the friends that I share with my Sis these last few days. She's leaving for the US next week & if I don't stay in touch with these people, I may never get in touch with them again... Knowing my laziness when it comes to keeping in touch. My sister is my only point of contact with them.

I'm kinda giddy right now, I don't know why... Let me tell you a secret...

You see, I have there's this person that I used to admire. A person who's such a great big celebrity hereabouts. I used to be so enamoured of this person & so blinded by this person's seemingly funny, child-like, accommodating & witty charm.

However, as I grew to know this person more, my eyes were opened to this person's aloofness & indifferent nature. I started to think, and feel, that the time & money I spent following this person was really flushed out into the toilet, so it seems.

Thus, I drifted. I never gave that person much thought. I became very bitter towards that person, that the sound of a song this person sang made my blood boil. I always thought, this person did not deserve the adulation, admiration & praise of the people who highly regard him/her.

But, everytime I chance upon seeing that person, I find that the resentment in my heart slowly melts away. What a sissy, I know.

However, I do not let my guard down anymore. I have to protect the pride that I had so painstakingly had to rebuild because of how this person had shattered it. I act cool & indifferent infront of this person & my friends. But deep inside, I'm like Ice Cream on a hot summer day.

I don't know. That's why I hate going out with our friends. This person always gets in the picture somehow.

Anyway, life must go on...
