i’ve got moves u ain’t seen

as early as now, i feel like i have exchausted half of my moves for year.
though i am optimistic thinking i have doubled my capacity as i would like to each year.
lemme see, counting off my fingers…

changed companies. i have ended my almost 3 years stint in company NP and have moved closer to home.
i’ll call it company T.after months of contemplating on whether i could do it, i was able to muster enough courage
and made the move. i could not say it was not easy. but it was good. company NP, in all fairness, tried to counter, but no price could be enough to pay for company T’s location. albeit, i still hold the same public service post of a Team Lead, there are numerous perks. i no longer have to commute a cumulative 4 hours a day to get to and from work. i only have to spend a total of 15 minutes, 20 if i am taking my time, walking to and from work. once again, i’m enjoying the comforts of being just a stone’s throw away from home. i sleep peacefully at night-yes, i’m no longer in the graveyard shift- knowing i was able to give 110% to my job without sacrificing any quality time with my family.

changed homes. with a new office comes a new house that we now proudly call home. it was such a process moving single-handedly facilitated by my caring partner, which resulted to him being sick the following week. as undomesticated as i am, my partner patiently did his part and more in making sure our new abode would be comfortable.i made it up to him by making sure he got well really soon a couple of days after. now we have new neighbors, my kids have new playmates and we have a new town to explore.

changed tactics.i don’t particularly like using the term “tactics” since it sounds so scheming but it is the most apt. i have found new courage that sprung in me my newfound confidence. eversince these moves i have faced challenges without recognizing they were challenges at all until after i’m done dealing with them and relishing the thought that i was able to do it.i now rally on headfirst, almost always. there’s a new task given to me, i study it as quickly as i can and make sure i dleiver way before the deadline. more tasks assigned to me, i thyink ‘i must be doing well then’. people doesn’t like me? could hardly give a damn. people liking me? well, who wouldn’t? i guess what i’m trying to say is inside me now is a newfound optimism that not even the most hopeless of cases could put down. no failed attempt could dampen my spirits now. and it feels good. i don’t know how and why i found this but i just know i did. when i find out, i would blog about it.

change is constant.change is good.and hell yeah i’m loving it!

1st quarter storm

as usual i have been away from blogging for months on end…
and now i feel overwhelmed for the nth time with thoughts teeming in my head…
so much has been done and i doubt if words would be enuff since so much has happened…
there are old stuff and new ones that i now am itching to convert into posts…

of all the glorious and atrocious,
these first quarter surely tops the list.

1st for 09 : just right

saw this from a friend’s blog… the lyrics can’t get any better…

Tasting you and rain i walk down to the train ,Try not to look down
This day could someday be an anniversary, Everything is light and sound
Facing forwards going slowly wait for you to show me
Where this train wants to go, Living by the hour i stopped for every flower
Everything is soft and slow, Now all these tastes improve
Through the view that comes with you, Like they handed me my life
For the first time it felt right, Thank you for making me see there’s a life in me
It was dying to get out,

Holding you we make two spoons beneath an april moon
Everything is soft and sweet, This cigarette it could seduce a nation with its smoke
Crawling down my tired throat, Scratches part of me that’s purring
Softly stirring, I’m captain of industry smoking famously
Feet up on the windowsill, Looking at all these trees i feel affinity with
Everything so soft and still-budding at my fingertips
Touching you i start to bloom, Alive with trains and passing ships

Soft and sweet upon your lips now, I go “oh wow”
Thank you for taking me from my monastary
I was dying to get out, With tears of gratitude
I like my latitude, A cross town train to you
Now all these tastes improve, Through the view that comes with you
Like they handed me my life, For the first time it felt worth it
Like i deserved it
