The Last Day

Today is my last day here at Enterprise... It's also my last day as a Glacier cow.

Although none of my teammates know this blog address, just the same I would like to express my gratitude. (Actually, they'll see this on my Friendster blog as soon as I post it there.):

Thanks for everything. I know we haven't spent that much time together - especially since I disappeared for about two weeks prior to all my "pre-emptive" strikes and "jinxes". But some say that time is not that much of a factor when it comes to relationships... And that's what I have with you. Not only is this the company where I stayed the longest (a record-breaking 9 months!), this is also where I got my first promotion. Such milestones, though, are nothing compared to the friendships I formed here. Some of us have gone through a lot of ups and downs. Some of us have had moments and some of us just - well, we exist in each other's universe.

I have found and lost and regained friends here. Let's not talk about the one I am so not regretful of losing. Anyway, thank you to everyone. Being in Glacier has been an education I will never forget. To my kwadra-mates: Hans, for the rides home and for more chika purposes (who could ever forget Ivy Violan?); Michael Choy, for making me feel like the ultimate techie I am not; Jacqui, for the food and for letting me drag you to applying with me; Kate, for the irateness and fun drunkenness at Digi (how in the world do you spell that anyway?); and for Mommy Roch, for the DVD and the encouragements. To the other residents of the other kwadras (my apologies to the newbies: we haven't had moments yet): to Malin, the future Mrs. Mendez... wala lang; Rada, Che's very own Jaya - thanks for making me borrow your book and for updating me with your lovelife; Mary, mabuhay ang Stairway addicts; Alfred, ang natitirang lalakeng birhen sa balat ng Convergys - sana mabinyagan ka na. hehehe; Che, haaay... thanks for the Full House moments; Wena, thanks for trusting me with all your secrets; Mommy Bons, for all the kwento. Nindot jud nga naay kastoryang Bisaya!; Mommy Ace, thanks for the encouragements din and for sharing - magazines, life stories, etc... Carl, this is tricky. Well, bro, it's been quite a ride. All in all, thanks for still being Carl - drama and all. And to TL Val: thanks for putting up with all the pasaways.

To Glacier: thanks for everything. I feel the need to repeat this because I know I'll never have this same experience again. You are the greatest people someone like me (read: very lost) needed to encounter. You have been - to date - the most amazing event of my life... I'll miss you.
