Parting Ways

When I joined Ayala Land Sales, Inc. (ALSI), I knew I won’t be staying long. I told myself I’d just try my luck and see where I’d go from there. With this came the decision that I don’t want to be close to anyone. I don’t want to emotionally attached because it would only be hard for us all when the time comes I’d have to go.

At first, I thought I’d be with the company only until December last year. But with the way my luck has gone, I’ve extended my stay indefinitely. And the longer I’ve stayed, I can’t help but be close to the people I’ve been working with. I just didn’t realize how much I already cared for them until recently.

One of my officemates would soon be leaving for Davao. Another is thinking of being moving to another group.

And to maximize their remaining days with us, we’ve all been spending time together out on dinners, movies, gimmicks, and even on an overnight stay in Tagaytay. We just want to enjoy each other’s company while we still can.

Actually, instead of working, we’ve all been going out almost everyday the whole January—just bonding and hanging out. With all these, we’ve just gone closer to each other. And now the time we can be together is slowly coming to a halt, it hurts me. I can’t stop myself from being emotional about all these. It really hurts to realize that we’re slowly parting ways—one by one.

In the beginning, I thought I’ll be the first one to leave. I was ready for that. But I wasn’t prepared to be the one left. And I didn’t think I’d be this affected.

The remaining days we all have together as a complete group (there’s 5 of us) is almost over. I want to have as much fun as I could. But every time we have to go home, I am saddened by the fact that another day has passed us by. The clock is ticking. Sooner than we think, it’ll be time to bid each other farewell.

Oh well, I guess life’s really like that. Some good things just never really last. I know. It’s just so sad. =,(
