after all, we're only human...

After all we’re only human,
always fighting what we’re feeling,
hurt instead of healing,
after all we’re only human,
is there any other reason why we stay instead of leavin’

I’m smart enough to know,
that life goes by,
and it leaves a trail of broken hearts behind

trivialties

post in progress

walking the familiar path from glorietta to RS

huddle room. whenever i felt like it, i'd get myself one of the huddle rooms in the floor and lock (well not really lock) myself up inside. Sometimes, i really feel the need to be alone or exclude myself from others. then i'd proceed to communicate with others via ST or MOC.... sometimes, these huddle rooms also turn into mini-sessions when those closest to me would also stay holed up in the same room... the walls had ears but there we felt free to talk and rant galore... the closest thing i could get to that right now is hibernating in the lab... sometimes, i really do miss those huddle rooms.

ST or MOC.

shuttle rides.
got my first taste of "bangenge" because of this. haha wonder when i'll get to drink "bangenge" again...

coffee talks.

wednesdays! lol! i especially looked forward to these non-wfh days for our team because I get to sit near the other team that is sharing the same floor as ours (note we only occupied half of the floor that time). Obviously we were trying to squeeze everybody in and thus due to the limited space by the time we come in the spaces available are somewhere near the other team's. This gives me an excuse to sneak peeks or at least from where I am seated I have a pretty good view of my crush! LOL! fun times... of course some of my team members figured this out and teased me about it but they tolerated it. of course not all wednesdays are fun which is why i end up locking myself in one of those huddle rooms. well, not really lock.

"WFH" aka tipid mode and working from somewhere else or extended breaks. just make sure you're online in ST/MOC... and the delayed reply wouldn't be THAT delayed... ehehehe

belgian chocolates this is one thing i definitely miss. Whenever any of our counterparts will come visit us or somebody from our team coming home from "site assignment" from Belgium so to speak one can sure expect a box or three of mouth-watering belgian chocolates. I am not really a fan of chocolates but it was fun trying out the different kinds/flavors available. And I especially liked this gesture because to me it seems thoughtful and in a way diminished whatever barrier there could have been between them and us. It kind of brings a certain level of comfyness and closeness with our 'teammates' from Belgium. Of course we make sure that somebody brings back dried mangoes to Belgium which is something they also love.

working while tipsy. this is one specific situation i can't forget. went on a half-day VL so I could join peeps for a few rounds just near the area. after several rounds of (pink lady ata yun from 121) a page came in ata basta i had to go back despite the fact that i was already on VL. it kinda sucked that the tipsyness waned off sooner than expected because i had to work but i had fun just reporting for work in that state and trying to "work". can't remember if my Team Lead knew about it or i sort of had to pretend. I could remember though that my head was spinning at one point. hahaha

hontoni gomenasai

in trying to protect myself, i end up hurting the people around me...
in trying to avoid getting hurt, i end up inflicting pain to those who are dear...
and then i wonder
why i feel bad?
once the dust settles, the realization dawns and the guilt takes over
always i hope it is not too late
and in the end, i brought pain, hurt to myself.
self-inflicted.

i hope this will all be over soon. admittedly, i am no longer able to handle things well and the more i am plunging into the pit of chaos. before i lose any dignity and respect left, may this come to pass. for what is left of the hurdle, i hope i can keep it together. i am tired.

minna-san gomen...
