i quit

I can’t believe we’re marking our 6th month together. Halleluiah! This is the longest relationship I have been in so far without having doubts, no misunderstandings, immature and petty fights… it’s all good. He really made up for all the years he kept breaking my heart.

I owe this all to Him. He is the reason. He made it happen. He heard my prayers. He was listening all along and had a plan. I love you, my God. Thank you, Lord.

Moving on, I decided to resign from work last month after noticing that my skin was getting dry, and my scalp having lots of dandruff… I did see a dermatologist to seek help – she prescribed to me medicines (available only through her clinic –of course) that didn’t at all help. Anyway, I self-diagnosed it and it’s called STRESS. The only cure is to quit my job and rest.

Before coming to a decision, as always, I had my pros and cons. Come to think of it, who wants to spend the rest of their lives in an air conditioned building, with a computer in front of you, and on a headset?! It pays much higher, and you can’t beat such benefits but it will not buy happiness and one’s good night sleep.

Arghhhh! Why can’t I find the perfect job? It’s so hard pala – it’s like your looking for your soul mate din. Haaaaaay.

My last day will be on Aug 14. Then I will fly for davao for the Kadayawan Festival and to celebrate my birthday there with Tala. I come back Aug. 27. I am booked for the month of September (I made sure of that, September is Bar month and I don’t want to bug Mario when I am bored)… my boss in Asian Center for Foreign Languages (ACFL) assigned me to another 3-weeks intensive language program. I also have plans to take Nihonggo lessons and finish my thesis (blehhhhh always making this as reason! Hopefully this time I will get it done and over with).

One more reason that pushed me to quit the job is Mario. When he’s finished with the bar exam, he will go back to work. That’s a 8-5 job… now with that schedule, it would be impossible for us to see each other… now that I am soooooo used to him being around, I’m going to miss him badly. Since he started his review class, he comes home to my house more than he does to his boarding house.

Anyways – so wish me luck. For love, destiny, money and a good life.
