I just came home from a late night coffee after work gimik with office friends. It was my honey’s last day before his study leave. Two days from now, my own resignation would be effective. Tonight seemed like a fitting night to go out and celebrate.

Anyway, as I told my honey earlier, I was reminded of what I thought was the greatest thing with being in my office. It was the chance to be with good friends. I honestly never thought that my stint in the office would end this way – I thought it was just a quiet thing.

It ended so differently. Marvin’s ‘batchmates’ and my own ‘batchmates’ from the office were there. Needless to say, I’m so touch by everyone’s thoughtfulness. . I’m glad to have known such nice and decent people in the workplace.I’m glad I have someone to share this occasion with I’m glad to leave at a time that I’m still high from the things I’ve learned from the office. Come to think about it, okay din pala exposure ko sa office. I managed to learn how a specifications writeup is prepared. I got exposed to shop drawings. I learned to be meticulous about minor details. I learned to be systematical. Fongi’s right – everything’s better in hindsight.

I really should thank my boss and my senior bosses for the chance they gave me, for taking a chance on me even though I don’t have any experience at all….

Anyway, I can’t help but be nostalgic about today. Earlier, Marvin and I were at the park – the first time while we were eating lunch; the second time, earlier this evening, while waiting for our friends to join us after their overtime work. I turned wistful at the sight of all the acacia trees that formed a canopy over our heads. I don’t know…I guess there’s just something about gazing at them that makes me treasure the things I have, yearn for better things to arrive…

…I suppose that in a way, it fills me with hope for things to come.
