It's Not Good Bye After All

i have been riding the wave of inconspicuous normalcy for the past few days. acting like an ordinary person is something new to me, but it's not difficult getting used to. the last few days of client-specific training went fine, and we finished the finals last friday. a few people weren't able to make it because of one reason or another, but bottomline is the whole batch will miss them a lot...

for me, i will miss mommy sylvia mostly. the two of us are plenty alike... 'specially when it comes to trusting instincts. we follow it like a bright red blinking arrow pointing us to where we feel we can be most happy. i understand the decision she had to make when she told me she thought about things thursday night while reviewing for finals -- that feeling of being an outsider. it isn't so much about the people, because our batchmates have been really, really great... but that's not the only thing that counts. one also has to like what s/he is doing.

sylvia understood that. she's sad parting with the people she considered good friends in a few weeks' time, but she also understands she won't be very happy if she stayed. besides, we could always keep in touch. there are some people who pass by, who sit and talk with you, who really make a mark... and after that moment, it's UNTHINKABLE to even think of the rest of your life without them. :)
