Vacation Leave

family

Today.. I have been awake for almost 24 hours and counting. I was busy attending some things at Market Market and my patience was tested-big time. Hell, it was worth it. At least, I was able to speak and have an interview with their Manager and next will be their client. *if they permit*

I don’t mind losing it. I do have a lot of things to accomplish this quarter. Big decisions are at stake and I have to make sure that I’ll be picking the right one.

It’s good to see the Makati again. Memories of a distant past came rolling in my head as I try to remember every streets I walked upon to. I remember the sports fest, after training jam with my planet batch mates, irksome moments in between and all that.

The trouble I had was I don’t have enough balance to send sms with Kat. I never realized that my load will expire on the time that I needed it most. Anyway, good thing I was able to see her at their building.

I see a lot of familiar faces. People that were once part of my life and had created wonderful memories in my head. It’s been a while though and I’m happy to see them again after my resignation.

I had a great time chilling with Kat and Joyce at Starbucks-the place that I really missed the most. When I was working with Teletech, it would be an effort for me to buy a cup of White Chocolate Mocha whenever I’m stressed or whatever. It was fun catching up with each other’s lives. It’s been a while since we had a conversation about crazy stuff and all that. I miss hearing their laughs especially when things go rowdy and pretty girly. I thank them for spending some of their time with me. :)

On my way home, I had a good conversation with the jeepney driver. He’s pretty open with his personal life and he tried to share mine as well-which is impossible for I may be noisy but I know when to reserve things for myself. What really got his attention was when he asked me *out of the blue* like if I’m in a situation to choose between a bachelor or a married man… whom should I pick? He said, “pag single, paiiyakin ka pero ang may asawa paliligayahin ka”.

I paused for a moment and looked back from my experiences, looked at him and answered… “wala“.

He asked me why and I replied because I don’t want a complicated life. Being in a relationship is like you’re preparing yourself for a long time responsibility. I remembered someone who cried in front of me when she shared about his unfaithful husband. She did everything-cooked his food, became the mother of their offspring and be the perfect housewife she could be. Yet, she caught her husband sleeping with another woman and enjoying trip outside the country together-leaving his responsibility as the provider for his family which he vowed in front of God.

Looking back with all the shits I’ve been through, I guess I need a break. My heart’s on unlimited vacation leave and I’m pretty much contented with my life-as it is. I’m more focus with my family because I think they deserve it. Whatever I’ll be doing, it should benefit my family first and foremost.

Whatever path I’ll take, I know it’s for the greater good.
