a glimpse of the coming future

en route to tagaytay with arlene, i realized that after eleven years of being with the big blue and working together, we are going to part ways - maybe for good this time.  eleven years is a long time - enough to build a friendship that hopefully will last our lifetime.  next week is the week before the two-week factory shutdown so it means that those who have been identified as part of phase 1 are all going to pack up their stuff already and bid the office goodbye.  i wonder how i would feel when my turn comes and my last day of office draws nearer and nearer.  despite the occasional jitters and overthinking, i am actually at peace with my decision to retire from the company.  i know the risks involved but i know that right now, i need to find something new and exciting.

so maybe i'll have to face my destiny as early as february, or maybe april, or maybe june.  i don't really have any definite answer right now and i am still patiently waiting.  i remain hopeful that things will work itself out.  it always does - with faith.
