Why I Started This...

I must admit that I'm not a good writer. I also don't do journals, diaries, or anything to that effect but why did I get this blog? It's all about friendship.

Two of my closest friends/ colleagues at work have this blog. They often write here and ask me to check their new posts. We are "seatmates" in the office and our area is the noisiest, wackiest, and craziest (but we get our work done...excellently). It's calmer and quiet when one is not around.

Some good things do not last though. I'll be transferring to another unit by Monday and as their farewell, they wrote something for me in their blogs. I have been psychologizing myself the past few days that I will not cry when they bid farewell. These two crazy, smart, and reliable people have been part of my San Miguel life for 3 years. We've experienced ups and downs together and how can I stop my tears when I leave? How can I not be sad leaving a group like them?

I couldn't help but cry while reading their blogs. This is it. I'm really leaving. I'll be four floors away from them. I won't have my singing, eating, laughing, and talking partners anymore. It's total fun with them but what really saddens me is that I'll be away from true people- true friends. It's difficult to find such people in the corporate world. I got strength and wisdom from them. Just being away from people close to your heart and who are part of your life is sad... painful in fact.

It is definitely not goodbye for us but things can change. We might not be able to see each other everyday. Thus, I decided to have this blog so we can keep in touch and know updates. This is one proof of how much I value these two people- Ms. Daff and John. I will really miss both of you.
