new beginnings

contemplated on starting this for awhile.actually, was torn between continuing my old blogspot page (which was abandoned circa 2012 when things just got too crazy with the old job. in between work, family, friends, books, and my love for writing; something just had to give. and sadly it was my old blog. also thought of just to keep writing in my tumblr, but it just seemed so...out of place. tumblr for me was always about discovering myself through photos and quotes. also played with the idea of starting a new wordpress blog, but i guess in the end, my loyalty remains with blogspot, heh.

so, here we are. new beginnings.

2013 has really been about fresh starts. finally, in january, i sent in my resignation letter to slb. was definitely not an easy decision - it took me three meetings with my manager to actually hand in the letter. breaking the news to my lead was a lot easier - he just said, he just wants me to be happy. eventually, manager came around too (after trying to offer me other alternatives instead of leaving haha) but we parted on good terms. i will forever be thankful to those two guys for showing me how kind bosses can be. sure, there were times i felt like strangling them (and i'm sure they felt the same way about me) but at the end of the day, they were the best bosses i've ever had. so i served out my three months, and in april, i said my goodbyes.

having been away for almost two months from my previous job, i can say that i don't miss the work. but i do miss the people. my ex-teammates were like my family. we laughed, we cried, we bitched about stuff together. and we stuck together. i miss them, but life goes on.

so here i am in a new place with a different working environment (somewhat more formal than my old place but then again, most places are more formal than my old place) - i actually had to go through an office wardrobe overhaul. and now, i think i'm gonna have to go through another wardrobe overhaul - but tha's a different story for a different entry.

anyhow, here's to new beginnings! cheers.
