Last Order Please

WTF EP/ PD at Stylist Kuning-Kuning/ Waitress Extraordinaire sa Pancitan
02 May 2005 - 29 February 2008

What a journey it has been! Day 1 palang ng aking imposed terminal leave, parang di ko na alam gagawin ko.. Di ko alam paano uubusin ang oras ko sa ibang paraan maliban sa pagtambay sa Pancitan, sa pakikipagkulitan at baklaan sa mga vakys sa office, etc.etc.etc...

Sobrang bilis ng mga pangyayari. Nakakabaliw. Choice ko to pero ANG. SAKIT. P*tah.

Before I knew it, I was already saying goodbye to the people whom I spent the last few years with.. to people I saw and shared life with more than my own family and friends.. to a place that molded me into the person I've become.. to a crazy beautiful adventure that I will never ever forget..

Merong nag-request. Wag na daw ako sumulat at bakalain ko nalang sya. Palagay ko naman ay matagal-tagal bago nya ito mabasa (kung basahin man niya) at dahil likas akong emotera, wala nalang pakialamanan. Pwede nyo naman ilipat ang pahina kung ayaw nyo makita ang pagka-Kokak ko! :p

1. Maraming salamat Ama, sobrang dami kong natutunan mula sayo. I will always remember the opportunities that you gave me. No one in their right mind would've taken a chance on me the way you did but I'm glad that you trusted me enough with the responsibilities that you gave me. I know I would be far from the person I am now had you not allowed me to face all those challenges head-on. Mahal ko kayo. Alam nyo na di ko sinasadya gawin ito ngayon at di ko kahit kailan gugustuhin na masaktan kayo. Ganun nalang ang respeto ko sa inyo. Sana tandaan nyo yan.

2. V! My ZIz! You know that I you are one of the good things that I leave the Pancitan WITH. I know that the friendship and bond that we have formed goes well beyond the walls of the Pancitan. I will see most definitely see you on the outside.

3. Tagteam Partner. You can't imagine how difficult this is for me. I don't know how to make you understand all these things with so much going on in your life. I always thought that "you & me" were more similar than anyone else in the Pancitan so it was but natural for us to gravitate towards each other. I also thought that what we've shared in the past years would transcend any 'goodbyes' that we might have to say. You may have just proven me wrong. I hope that you'll wake up one day and find a need for me and my friendship again. Call me. You know that I'll always answer.

4. Mga Vaks at Veks. Sa lahat ng mga vakleurs na nakilala ko sa Pancitan (NettyVeky, Bebeh, Denggy, Hersh, JenPan, Chay-R, Sis Mars, etc.) Makulay ang buhay ko dahil sa inyo. Laughing is living. Salamat.

5. Hengot - our road has been a bumpy one. Maybe we'll have a better shot at it with me on the outside. Just breathe.

6. Sa iba pang mga "karakter" (I say this fondly of course) sa Pancitan, maraming salamat sa pakikitungo nyo sa akin, sa tulong ninyo, sa pag-unawa at sa lahat-lahat. Ma-mmiss ko kayo, mga shooting, mga laughtrip, yosi break, foodtrip at marami pang iba.

7. To the people in this industry and beyond that I've worked with in the past few years, ang galing ninyong lahat! There wasn't a single shoot day that I didn't learn something from you. I will carry this with me in the next "(advertising) life".

8. H, I would never have met you if not for the Pancitan and I would have to go through the rest of my life incomplete. Thank you for being my emotional punching bag and my cushion as I go through this transtion. Thank you for your patience and seemingly endless love. I'm lucky to be loved by you.

Soon I will embark on a new adventure, start a new chapter in my life. I'm scared and I'm anxious but I'm pretty sure it'll be one hell of a ride.

Wish me luck! ;)

JOURNEY TO THE PAST
Aaliyah

Heart don't fail me now
Courage don't desert me,
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or how the road can seem so long
How the world can seem so vast
Courage see me through
Heart I am trusting you
On this journey to the past...

Somewhere down this road,
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide,
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
Well starting here my life begins
Starting now I'm learning fast
Courage see me through
Heart i am trusting you
On this journey to the past

Heart don't fail me now (no)
Courage don't desert me.

Home, love, family; there was once a time I must have had them too
Home, love, family; I will never be complete until I find you

One step at a time
One hope then another
Who knows where this road may go?
Back to who I was
On to find my future
Things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
Courage see me through
Heart I am trusting you
To bring me home
At last

That's it Pancit!

Good Gawd.

So there. I went and did it. I didn't think I could and ever would but I went and did it.

I just wonder what'll happen next...
