For someone who's just bumming, surfing\u0026nbsp;and sleeping all day then\u0026nbsp;this is\u0026nbsp;a telling one. \u003Cem\u003E(I am in-between jobs right now. Just ended the\u0026nbsp;other one last week and is due to start on the next mid-June).\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cp align=\"justify\"\u003EFirst, I called the PLDT Clinic where I'm having my medical exams and learned that the results of my FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) is not yet in. My goodness, its been days! How long does it take to friggin' examine a blood sample? Smart is already hurrying me and I am already losing my mind about it. They already offered the job two Thursdays ago and I have yet to sign the employment contract because I am still waiting for the results of the med\u0026nbsp;exam. That's very important because that will determine if I can really be IN.\u0026nbsp;It will be a huge letdown if I fail the med exams. I mean, of all things??? \u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cp align=\"justify\"\u003ESecond, I got a call from one of my media friends this afternoon and he told me that my replacement was introduced this afternoon at the Goodyear press conference. Well, I know that I should not be bitter about it and just move on. After all, I already left and is quite happy about it. Maybe it's just my ever-present competitive nature that's kicking in. Maybe I am just having a hard time accepting that I was \"replaced\" despite the fact that my future career\u0026nbsp;is bigger, better\u0026nbsp;and brighter. I just feel that I was used and \u003Cem\u003Eforgotten.\u003C\/em\u003E Oh well.\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cp align=\"justify\"\u003ENow here's the dilemma that prompted me to blog. I was\u0026nbsp;cleaning my e-mails\u0026nbsp;the other day when I saw a two-year old\u0026nbsp;e-mail from my ex. It was just a random message. He told me to re-direct all his job hunt related e-mails to his personal mails. He mentioned two addresses, one in Yahoo and the other in Hotmail, which I've forgotten about until I saw it again the other day. The ex and I never communicated on-line except on some e-mails here and there. So it was really a stupid move when I added his Yahoo ID to my Messenger last Thursday. \u003Cem\u003EDang! \u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cp align=\"justify\"\u003EWhen I logged\u0026nbsp;at YM\u0026nbsp;this evening, I saw that he accepted my invitation \u003Cem\u003E(Dang! Dang!)\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003Eand was also on-line. There was also a status message near his name that goes like: \u003Cem\u003E\"Yep, I'm here.\"\u003C\/em\u003E Here I go again. I promised to distance myself from him and I've been successful about it until now. Its been months since we have last seen each other. Its been months since\u0026nbsp;our last communication, save from his courtesy reply of \u003Cem\u003E\"Goodluck and God Bless! Beautiful things are in store.\" \u003C\/em\u003Eto my generic and\u0026nbsp;for everyone e-mail\u0026nbsp;of\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003E\"I'm leaving Goodyear, here's my updated contact info...\"\u003C\/em\u003E to which I did not bother to reply. \u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cp align=\"justify\"\u003EWe are both aware that we are distancing ourselves from each other. It's the elephant in the room. I know that he values me and my feelings too much thus he's taking my lead and not communicating. He knows that maintaining our friendship will hurt me more. That I know. He wants me to be happy and he knows that I wouldn't be able to if he's still around. \u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cp align=\"justify\"\u003EThe incident tonight was really shallow and so-so compared to the stupid things I did before. I will not be surprised if you are now shaking your head on the time you've wasted reading this. But missteps like this are\u0026nbsp;huge deal\u0026nbsp;for me. I need to focus on the the letting go. I need to focus on the moving on. Bright and wonderful things are ahead of me thus I should not be distracted and should stay focused.\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cp align=\"justify\"\u003EI dunno what happened to me the other night. I dunno what happened to me tonight. night. I dunno what happened when I friggin' added him at YM. \u003Cem\u003EArrrgggh!\u003C\/em\u003E But at least I logged-out immediately before I can click his name and say \"Buzz!\". I don't want to know things about him. I don't want to know what he's doing with his life now. I don't want to know what\u0026nbsp;music\u0026nbsp;he\u0026nbsp;is listening to\u0026nbsp;or who is he texting regularly. I long for the day when I'll wake up and will not be bothered by thoughts of him. \u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EI am (finally) moving on gracefully\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E. For months (years?) I've been yearning for inner peace and I believe that I am finally getting THERE. The only hindrance are missteps like this.

I am just too edgy about this since I love toooo much my top job choice and not getting it will surely disappoint me. I made my follow-up this morning with the HR Officer who first interviewed me and the Executive Assistant of the Head of the department who interviewed me last Wednesday. They both told me that my future boss is already making several follow-ups on MY application with their Human Resources. The HR Officer said that she's just waiting for my papers and will call me within the week. She thinks that I'm already in \"favorable\" status and the next process is the Medical Exam checklist issuance from their department. She told me to wait since she have to speak with her Supervisor first. So near yet so far. I am getting too impatient and it's not very good. :( I just want to settle things so I can already plan and move forward - whatever the result may be. Ugh, the agony and pain of waiting.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ I received another call last Saturday for an initial interview for a Brand Manager position at a certain huge pharmaceutical company somewhere in Shaw\/Pasig on Wednesday. I am grateful for it and it will be a nice fallback position and company if ever my top choice will not hire me. I love Brand Management and its many fascinating components. I love focused marketing and enhancing the image of a certain brand and its consumer life cycle.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFRIENDS\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ My Forces Girlfriends and I went to Enchanted Kingdom last April 21 to celebrate Aileen's Birthday. Our park tickets and lotsa wizard money were from Aileen in celebration of Kodak's Summer Outing. I arrived later than the girls since I rested that day. I am still recuperating and there were still shooting pains every now and then from my recent surgery. I love EK and almost all of its rides. But since my operation is barely a month old, I was able to ride only the \"safe rides\" like Jungle Log Jam, the 4D Pirates of the Caribbean, and the sure-you'll-get-wet Rio Grande Rapids. It was such an enjoyable night nonetheless.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/photobucket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Forces Girls at Enchanted Kingdom\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v94\/abbie12\/Forces-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size:78%;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EAileen, Tin, Charo and I @ Enchanted Kingdom\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECheck out \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/abbiereal.multiply.com\/photos\/album\/30\"\u003Ehttp:\/\/abbiereal.multiply.com\/photos\/album\/30\u003C\/a\u003E \u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size:78%;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003Efor more snaps.\u003C\/center\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ Since I've been serving my Goodyear resignation grace period since February, I am now less stressed and pressured than usual. This paved the way for having more time to meet with my old dear friends. My bestest girlfriend from Honda, Olen, and I spent so many afternoons and evenings in the past month. Since she's now eight months pregnant with their second baby and moving around is becoming quite uneasy for her, I became her designated driver in a couple of occassions when hubby Bim is out. They also dedicated their wonderful new home in Cittadela recently. Too bad I wasn't able to take some pictures.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ I also met and dined with Aimee two Fridays ago at SM Megamall after Goodyear's Transportshow event at the Megatrade Hall. Aimee was my sparring partner in my bittersweet days at Carrier. We sure did a lot of catching up. It's been years since we last sat down and really really really talk. It's truly funny to answer her questions about events in my life that transpired over a year ago.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ As for my Goodyear friends...well...parting is such a sweet sorrow. I know that I will surely miss them. Our days of togetherness are now numbered. I plan to blog this topic at length but if ever that I wouldn't be able to; I would like to say that I am really blessed and lucky to have met John, Marge, Ros, Binchy and Eric. I will surely miss them and our unusual gimmicks and boring Friday worknights.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/photobucket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Goodyear Friends\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v94\/abbie12\/FriendsGY.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size:78%;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EWith Marge \u0026 Ros and Binchy \u0026amp; John\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHOBBIES \u0026 STUFF IN BETWEEN\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ I recently watched Music \u0026amp; Lyrics since I truly like the \"Way Back Into Love\" song by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. I have four versions of the song in my iPod and it's my default cellphone ringtone as of the moment. It truly has very nice lyrics. TRIVIA: Tin, Aileen and I were set to watch Music \u0026 Lyrics last February when it was still in theaters but we decided impulsively to just drink and pour our dramas and troubles again and again to each other.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ iPod Update: Grey's Anatomy Season 3 new episodes (as usual), John Mayer's old album - Room For Squares, Maroon 5's Songs For Jane, Way Back Into Love (4 versions), Barbie Almalbis' Barbie\/Singles, Ally McBeal soundtrack and The Best of Bukas Palad. Thanks for the CDs, Aileen. I've been ripping 90's to early 2000s CDs lately. : )\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ Grey's Anatomy is still my \u003Cem\u003Enumero uno favorito\u003C\/em\u003E and I am still up to date with all the fresh episodes save for the last one (Episode 21 - Desire). Thanks to Mitzi for the regular video streaming. GA is becoming more and more complicated than usual and the current plot is centered on Izzie and George. My favorite Cristina will have her moment next month when she goes tan-tan-tanan with Dr. Preston Burke. I can't wait!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ Aside from Grey's Anatomy, my TV nights are occupied by Ugly Betty, Pinoy Big Brother (still an addiction) and Brothers \u0026amp; Sisters. I also started watching Heroes and The Nine. Let's see what they have to offer.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~ I am a SIMS2 addict once again.
