"Thank you" is one of the most frequent phrases in the English language according to non-politicians. And though I already work in government, I shall never forget the good people who made my unbearable life working in the private sector, more bitchable, I mean bearable, than usual.
Bridget- If you were a guy, people might've thought we were gay. It's a good thing we're women and going to the restroom together most of the time only made them think we've got bladder problems. Just kidding. Seriously, thank you for being my bestfriend inside the office. Everytime I pass by Starbucks, Ministop or simply see food, I'm reminded of you. hehehe. We've never got the opportunity to enroll in the gym together and lose all those pounds, but it doesn't matter, 'cause at least we gained those pounds together (what?!). I hope to see you really soon. You didn't know it, but you were a shining star to a lonely world surrounded by four walls and a computer screen. :)
ES- U.P certainly breeds only the best. The best and the queerest, but also the wittiest! No man could match your wit, because he would have to be a woman...(who now owns this blog). :-D Thank you ES for listening to my rants about work and sharing with me your secrets. You have made my stay in that company a smart experience.
Anne- I don't believe you don't have a heart. It's just misplaced or referred to differently. Many of us refer to it as "brain", but you can't argue about that with other people because they don't have one. hehe. Thank you Anne, I've learned so much from you, like how to love with an iron hand. But sometimes you remind me of my current boss. haha.
Rj- Right now his fingers talk
In quick responses; seemingly
Anxious to forget all deadlines
Nearing the 4PM dismissal.
Thank you for being really nice. Thank you also for teaching me sarcasm.
To honor you, I shall name my dog after you, if and when I get one, and then make it into adobo. hehe. But seriously, you did one great job as a boss. From you I've learned that there is fear in love and respect--a good type of fear that will motivate people to excel because they don't want to end up like you. hehehe. Just kidding. :-) I had a good mentor. This "thank you" should be proof of it :-)
Pet- Your name may not match your stature, but it certainly does your heart and nature. I'm saying this because I don't want you to crush me or hit me with a San Mig bottle or a pillbox. Pillow, puwede pa. hahaha. Your parents certainly have a sense of humor (they nicknamed you pet!), and so do you. Thank you for making me laugh and for making me realize law school is indeed for me. See you in court...dadala ako ng beer, sayo yung pulutan. Tapos yayain natin yung judge. hehe.
Jon- I may be the boss, but you're the Chairman! hahaha. Geekiness has never been amusing, and it still isn't. Just kidding. Thank you for advising me on all computer and electronic related inquiries. Thanks also for the free dvds and for making me realize I do need to go to the gym. hahaha. bastard. grrr. hahaha.
Debbie- with you, words become shield and sword. Thank you Debbie--your loud laughs have pierced my heart and ears. Your laughter has never failed to wake me up when I felt like I was going crazy--I realized may nauna na pala sa akin. hehe.
Arnel and Bryan- Debbie and Anne's bodyguards. I salute you. Awoo! Bryan thank you for making me realize (again) that first impressions should never last. One aspect about a person doesn't make him that person. Arnel, thank you for talking. A philosopher once said, "A man who knows how to speak, knows also when."
Marck- "I think therefore I am Marck!" hehe. Thank you for sharing my interest in theories on almost everything under the sun. One day, the revolution will not be televised. :-) You may appear to be a gloomy person, but you have the gift to inspire. And I'm glad you're using it.
Paul- my main man when it comes to good music. Thank you for sharing with me knowledge in the form of the played note. Your hunger for improvement in writing and for constructive criticism made me realize there's still hope in this worl. hehe.
Kristel- Ms. Paris Hilton with a HUGE brain. :-) Her height is indirectly proportional to her intellect. Thank you for your fierceness, sexiness and wit--something every girl should have. You truly are a woman for others with the way you care for your friends and officemates.
Rica- cute but dangerous! Thank you rica for being sweet when we all knew you could bite us and tear us into pieces. hahaha.
Staci- You are the epitome of candidness! You are ES's rival in terms of wit, but you're the sole winner when it comes to flamboyance. hahaha. I like the way you express yourself in the manner you dress up, 'coz you don't care and that's how it's suppose to be. That's how you roll.
Jeanie- thank you for being what everyone should be: honest.
Jie- for also being honest. But most especially, for bearing with me on my walk-out episode.
Chemae- thank you for lending me your ear when Van Gogh accidentally cut off mine. Your silence is precious in a sea of noisy keyboards, ranting writers and growling stomachs.
Aila- cute pero hindi mayabang. you must be rj's antonym. Siya kasi hindi na cute, mayabang pa. hahaha. Just kidding. Thanks Aila for being really nice and for attending my poetry performance. Kinilig ako. May artista na dumalo!
Coco- thank you for trusting me, aside from the yosi and beer.
Elaine- you are the best seatmate ever! And that's not because you are the only seatmate I've ever had, but because you made me want to finish my work on time everytime I heard you typing away and finishing your articles early. Thank you also for making my life relatively easier as an editor. I know that in this blog I'm committing the same mistakes I told you not to do, but hey, it's a blog. And it's my blog. hahaha.
