mixed emotions? part of you still wants to stay, and another part of you feels it’s time to leave? that’s what i’m feeling right now. that’s what my other teammate also said during his last days with the team.

it’s never really easy to say goodbye. especially to those you’ve come to know for more than a year, to those you’ve considered ‘tropa/barkada‘, to those whom you can share fun and at the same time problems with, to those you’ve considered as part of your extended family.

this team, the grad team especially the americas (night shift), is to be considered as my extended family here in manila. i may have some relatives here, distant relatives perhaps, but i’ve never really been with them. all i had last june 2007, when i first came to manila was my old man and my godparents who live several floors above us.

but what’s done is done. i have to leave. there’s no turning back. all i hope is that my colleagues, my teammates would also treasure the moments they shared with me ‘coz i do. i’ll definitely miss the fun, the laughter, the sessions we call ‘1 bottle’, which eventually leads to 2 or more. ;)

anyway, this just crossed my mind but guys, what do think about ‘despedida‘ celebrations? who should be the one to shoulder the expenses?
