you've suprised me, life!


It's been 45 days since the last time I posted something on this blog.
However, within those 45 days, I've experienced lot of things.
I finally got a new job. The one that I've been dreaming for. As much as I was excited to meet new people and handle new tasks, I was sad to know that I had to leave all my friends in my previous office. They are probably the nicest friends at work that I'll ever known. On my last day at the office, I felt okay. I didn't feel sad. But, when a friend of mine accompanied me to have a little drink and a little talk after work, I didn't feel okay. Knowing that after I got home I would never go to my office ever again really broke my heart. I didn't want that day to ever end. But, time keeps on ticking, right?
I then realized that there will be a new hello in every goodbye. And I felt much better.
Thus began my new journey in my new office.

And that is not the only new experience that I encounter.
Since the beginning of this year, life has surprised me in ways I've never imagined before. And as I once wrote before, the most valuable lesson I've learned so far is that we have to let go of everything even the one we love. And so, I was trying to let go of many things. One of them was this guy whom I've had crush on. We once were close. But as time goes, I learn to accept that he is just not that into me (yes, I used that movie title and yes this is one of my favorite movie ever!). However, life decided to take a surprise turn for me. When I thought "there's a new hello in every goodbye", he said "you say goodbye, and I say hello." He then told me everything. The way he really felt about me and the reasons why he didn't want me to know his true feeling. And I understood; tried to understand to be exact.
And so, on May 18, I decided to try something I have never tried for twenty two years: being in a relationship. And so far, it's been good.

a commitment over a box of froyo. not so sweet, eh?
Thank you life, for all the surprises you gave, been given, and is giving.
