End Road

The least that I could do right now is to be grateful.
Today is my last day at work. I was caught off-guard last Monday with that kind of news but really, what better way for me to react than to accept that fact and move forward?

I am brimming with options right now and I hope two of them would be potential gold mines.

Please pray for me.

Retrenchment 101

"Hanggang July 30 na lang kayo"
-from my operations head referring to 5 of us from our eight-man advertising team.

i kinda knew it would happen. refer to it as my ever-reliable instincts. what's the best way to react to it? play it cool like what i did over some sizzling sisig and buffalo wings? puff it out on marlboro sticks and vent out your nervousness on various deep puffs? cry and tell everybody you will miss them? or ask about your separation pay kinda like what i did as well?

its kinda hard to deal with it especially when it came in out of nowhere. i knew our company was into some rough times, but never did i guess that we would all (well, almost) get cut. i just had the feeling that i would be chopped off just right before we got into that restaurant here in pasig city. somehow, i got to prepare myself on what to expect. my lovable boss was surpisingly silent and nervous. the first word he uttered was when he gulped a quarter-bottle of san mig light. i knew it was coming. i will be cut off and i should be cool about that.

so tonight, i just applied over at at least 10 companies via jobstreet, texted my dad, spoke with my friends and made plans for the next 20 days. tomorrow (saturday), i will be able to make plans clearer.

So help me God.

Michael Jackson's Last Poem

Children of the world, we'll do it
We'll meet on endless shores
Making sandcastles and floating our boats
While people fight and defend their point of view
Forever putting on masks that are new
We'll swing the tide of time and do it.

Children of the world, we'll do it
With song and dance and innocent bliss
And the soft caress of a loving kiss
We'll do it.

While traders trade and haggle their price
And politicians try so hard to be nice
We'll meet on endless shores and floating our boats
We'll do it.

While lawyers argue and doctors treat
Stockbrokers quote the price on meat
While preachers preach and ring the bell
Carpetbaggers with something to sell
We'll sing and dance in innocent bliss
With the soft caress of a loving kiss
We'll do it.
Meeting on endless shores
Making sandcastles and floating our boats
We'll do it.

We'll ride the rainbow, a cloud, a storm
Flying in the wind, we'll change our form
We'll reach the stars, embrace the moon
We'll break the barrier and be there soon

While architects plan their buildings high
And trade unions raise their hue and cry
While boardroom squabbles generate heat
And in secret places dealers meet

We'll sing and dance in innocent bliss
And the soft caress of a loving kiss
We'll do it.

While philosophers grapple and continue to tackle
Endless dilemmas of body and mind
Physicists wander, continue to ponder
Perennial questions of space and time
Archeologists survey, continue to dig
Bygone treasures small and big

Psychologists probe, analyze the tears
Of hysterical notions, phobias, fears

While priests take confessions
In a serious session
And people struggle
In the hustle and bustle
In the noise and din
On the meaning of sin
We'll touch the stars, embrace the moon
Break the barrier, arrive there soon
Ride the rainbow, the cloud, the storm
Flying in the wind, changing our form

Children of the world, we'll do it
With song and dance and innocent bliss
The soft caress of a loving kiss
We'll do it.
