grateful

in my world, there are only two people who can call me kapatid and really mean it: Tere and Cze.

I love you guys, and I consider you my greatest and most loving sisters!!!

BUt these are not the only people who mean everything in my life.

There's my closest office barkada. My very recent bestfriends who made me tougher and more mature. THank you for your experienced knowledge and for the pieces of advice on growing up and being strong. Thank you for keeping up with my immaturity and for my agressiveness in terms of making decisions for myself. These people include Tin-tin, Joey, Abi, and Rox.

For my team Pep barkada, who kept me sane and constantly remind me of my youth. You've brought back childhood joy and reminded me to enjoy my youth-stage, or that is, to just enjoy what I have as of the moment. Thank you for never failing to bring in the fun and laughter. Thanks to Trisha and Grace (my fave team Pep girlz!), Pit (who is such a bouncy and huggable guy), Pat (he's bearable "yabang-ness" which became funny and one source of laughter as time went by), Mat (who seemed "high" most of the time, for being one of my drinking buddies, and for his green jokes), Marvin (who is my fave ultimate playboy.."matinik sa chicks!", i'll miss his stories about his girls), Rizza and Rox (my second fave team Pep girl buddies), JL (one of my motivators) and Bod (for his natural humor, life of whatever crowd, funny gay and another drinking buddy).

For my wavemates, my first crowd and my group of "ate"s: Jha, Tet, May and Alaine. Being with you feels like i'm on a set of Sex and the City. (of coure, this group includes Tin, but she's in every group I'm in...and she's one of my bestest, most fave persons..)

Doing this "thank-you" post reminded me of that one statement that has been crossing my mind every now and then for a week now. I first heard it on one episode of Grey's anatomy. Dr. Christine Yang said this (about Meredith) "She's my person".

I also heard this phrase when I watched Bolt. Bolt said this to describe his human bestfriend.

To all of these people whom I mentioned, You are all my person.

There always comes a time when we need to move on, change the pattern and find greater heights. Looking for a new environment does not always mean that you want a way out from the current environment that you have. It does not always mean that you are beginning to dislike the people you encounter with each and every single day, nor disliking the things you are doing now.

Finding greater heights means you would like to challenge yourself on other things which you want to do. You put an end to the pattern, and if you'd like, build a new one or disrupt the pattern and live a carefree lifestyle void of routine.

It also means that you are seeking for a new inspiration, a new motivational force which will help you look clearly, more postive and help you appreciate life and living more.

On my previous post, I have emphasized on my need to take risks, like that of jumping off a cliff.

And yes, I have took the plunge.

Now, I wonder what lies ahead.

Inthe company which I have worked, I've built relationships, made friends. In the process, I have found myself.

I have met people who showed me how it is to take things easy, enjoy being with people, and treasure good friendships which you know will last.

I am grateful for the friendships which I have established. It has made me stronger, and encourage me to smile often and look at life positively.

Me and my friends, we shared a lot - a lot of stories, a lot of problems, a lot of issues, but in the end, we knew with whom to seek comfort.

We found comfort in each and everyone. Each one posed or made an impact in each one's life. It may not seem obvious since we tried to find humor in the everyday issues, but then, internally or personally, I know it has made a difference.
