I’m taking this moment to think about all souls who have passed before me. Each one is remembered.

Avril wrote this for her grandfather who passed away while she was on tour.

Life has been pretty good, the last month. I have almost forgotten that I had a blog. hehehe I’ve been busy with the endterms and trying to keep up with the requirements. Work has been pretty hectic as well. Strangely now that we are on our semestral break, I miss the frenzy of it all and can’t wait to get back to it in 2 weeks. Decided to get only 2 subjects per sem. It sounds a little but considering that I live 2 cities away from Bacolod and get home at almost 10pm and wake up at 6am everyday for work, it sounds like a good decision.

Also, my companion at the office is retiring and that means I’ll have to handle the staff work alone. It’s what I was groomed to become a year ago. It’s what I trained for. I should be calm about this and accept the responsibility but somehow there is always this hesitance to accept the implications of what my job will entail. I try not to think about it. My actions at work, I have to admit, have always been made with a political alliance in mind. Some people may find this disturbing but I accept this as part of my job. My professional life is separate from my personal one and I prefer it that way. I would never be best friends with anybody at work. Why? Because it brings on so much emotional baggage and emotions cloud your judgment. My boss considers the whole picture when making personnel decisions. It’s his way I guess. But for me, when friendships are concerned, I like my distance, thank you very much. It’s self-preservation. In an organizational culture, where personal beliefs and quirks are seen as weaknessess I would much rather not get too close. I like my privacy and the fact that my best friends are nowhere near the millsite. I have a life outside of my job. And I want it to stay that way.

I’m enrolling at La Salle next week. John and I found out that they are renting this small airconditioned chapel. We went there and the chapel looks quaint and I love it. Located at La Salle’s Balay Kalinungan, it’s solemn, peaceful and surrounded by huge trees. The driveway is spacious and opens to a statue of Mary at the center. I know it will look fabulous when at night! So I’m pretty excited about that. Things seem to be working themselves out, as far as the wedding is concerned. I’m thankful for that.

Cool!!!!
