...MINI-ME MOMENT...

In recent years, it had become rare that I get to tuck Mini-Me to bed before he goes to sleep. Apart from the varying circumstances (either he's asleep by the time i get home or i fall asleep ahead of him...), it seemed awkward for him that i still "baby" him at bedtime. but tonight was NOT one of those nights! we spent a good 30-45 minutes lying side by side -- talking nonesense and laughing nonesense, before we said good night. haay, time flies.... *mental note: spend more laughing nonesense moments with mini-me"

"You'll Be In My Heart"

Come stop your crying, It will be alright

Just take my hand, hold it tight

I will protect you from all around you

I will be here don't you cry.

For one so small, you seem so strong

My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm

This bond between us can't be broken

I will be here don't you cry.

Cause you'll be in my heart, yes you'll be in my heart

From this day on, now and forever more

You'll be in my heart, no matter what they say

You'll be in my heart, always.

Why can't they understand the way we feel

They just don't trust what they can't explain

I know we're different but deep inside in us

We're not that different at all

Don't listen to them, cause what do they know

We need each other to have, to hold

They'll see in time, i know

When destiny calls you, you must be strong

I may not be with you, but you've got to hold on

They'll see in time, i know, we'll show them together!

TIME FOR COOL CHANGES!

... i get these random thoughts so often but haven't really gotten the chance to write it down. sometimes i think why would i even blog about it and add up to the tons of byte-trash in cyberspace (who reads this anyway?? raise your hand!) Then again, this is a better venue of thinking-out-loud than literally talking it out loud (mas mahirap magsalita na walang kausap, hehehe).

i've recently quit my job from that company with the tagline "be brilliant together". it doesn't seem to enhance brilliance anymore, so it doesn't make sense to stay. it's not the work load that bogged me down but the never ending bickering and corporate politics. really now... for a small sized organization, the amount of politics, gossip, backstabbing and factions would give the PH government a stiff competition. it's crazy! work experience there had been like moments of roller coaster ride. i've been through the cycle of ramp-up, sabbatical, retrenchment, ramp-up, bench.... i joined when it was still a measly 200-employee headcount, i left with an ending headcount of 700ish. That should speak about what I have accomplished.

I'm gonna miss my girls (team) with their own quirky ways. I'm gonna miss the extra-curricular activities and themed-events of LEGO. I'm gonna miss my nice office space and the coffee-breaks with friends. But beyond that..

i was just relieved and happy to bid adieu! i could fill this space with my rants about management in this work place, but i choose to move on and let those who are left behind to discover the experience by themselves. it was fun while it lasted....

so here i am, not exactly a bum! i'm doing some contracting work. summer vacation is nearing end. my little nephews and dear ol' daddy had left for the US. i'm in the midst of transferring stuff to our new home in QC. Lots and lots of changes are happening. exciting times for the cool changes that are slowly falling into place.
