Learning..Growing..

Hey there.. Haven't been here for quite sometime.. as always.. heehee.. Oh well, now I got the chance to blog again.. Now that Win is in Moscow for a 3-week business trip.. So sad he won't be here (Again) on my b-day.. :(

Oh well.. anyways.. updates...

I've been busy these past few months.. adjusting.. fitting in and working on my new project.. I'm happy with where I an right now.. For the work that I'm doing.. for the opportunities that were given to me.. I truly am grateful. As much as I miss the group of friends that I've left.. My new team filled up the gap.. And with all the side projects and initiatives that I've involved myself in.. I never found myself idle.. Win was there with me and we take each new day's challenge one at a time.. As of now, both of us are focusing on the team and aour careers.. and that's a good thing..

There have been additions in my "First" list... Starting last May, I have started interviewing people.. and I liked it! It always reminds me of the time I myself got interviewed.. It's a new challenging task, an opportunity to grow and develop and most of all, a huge responsiibility to take on.. But I'm loving it and I'm ready for it...

Not too long ago.. I also received a new role as the Team Lead of the EMEA team for Core Manufacturing.. I caught myself offguard. Honestly, I didn't see that coming.. but then again, I discovered something in me that I never thought I had or I never thougt I could do.. That talk with Bryan made me realize somethings and somehow made me reflect on myself.. On what I could do and where i want to go...

I'm learning.. I'm growing.. and I'm loving them both... :) 

New Chapter...

You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging for quite sometime now.. Well that's because there are things that are keeping me busy these days...

For the past month and... maybe and a half. I have been slowly transitioning to my new role... Yes, a new chapter in my career. I'm moving to a totally new department- the implementations team (same team as Win). New building, new environment, new technology, new processess, new manager, new set of friends, new everything.. So in short, i'm new to all of these that's why I needed the time to adjust and learn. I have planned for this new role for the past year and now it's here . I can only hope and wish the best for me in this new journey I'm getting myself into...

My last days in RTCIS have been very fast, taking the fact i'm already juggling on two roles but I thank the Lord, my family and Win that somehow I was able to manage. I was even been able to be part of the AMG offsite.. my last offsite with them.. also after that, an RTCIS and Friends BBQ party was held at Ced's place. That was also the last outing I have been with the RTCIS team.. Surely, I will miss them.. The friends that I gained during the 2.5 years that I have been with HP.. hahahha why am getting sentimental all of a sudden.. enough!

Ok so anyway, I guess that's it.. Wish me luck in this new endeavor! :)

Here is a picture of my new team..

Catching up...

Yeah true.. I need a lot of catching up to do.. So much have been going on lately that I never found time to update this blog.. hehehehe

First things first... Win already go back from Costa Rica last May 3rd- Finally!! Yipee!! So to Freya and my other HP friends, I am now glad and proud to say.. May Life na ulit ako!! heehee.. I remember Freya always tell whenever there an office gimmick or whatever that I'll always be available- "Wala ka namang pupuntahan, wala ka namang boyfriend.. In short, Wala ka namang Life!" haha... now I got my life back.. heehee.. And it's sooo damn good to be back.. heehee..

Oh.. and I think I never mentioned that I'm moving to a new role in HP.. Well more like moving into another department. So since March, I've been busy transitioning my roles from RTCIS and now having more trainings in my new project.. I'm still adjusting.. I'm spending less and less time with the my RTCIS friends as I more and more spend more days in the Ortigas office.. I'm really glad and thankfull that the folks in my new team are accomodating and friendly. I will still need more time to adjusting to the new culture but I'll be fine. Win is there and the guys and gals there are great as well. Aja! :)

Next week marks my last week in RTCIS.. I will really miss the company but surely not the work.. heehee ssshhh... :)                                                                                                                                 

Next-- I have a new inaanak- Sophia Mikylla Tila. I really splurged on gifts on her... heehee.. just can't help it.. I love kids.. and she's a girl... I love shopping for baby girls.. heehee..

On another note, Kuya Bang arrived from LA last week too!! too bad he'll be leaving too soon- Tuesday!! I missed my brother, I'm glad he came home and loosen up a bit. Have fun, be merry and escape the stress and problems of the other world... I wish I could always be there for him. I feel his sadness whenever I see his lonely eyes. I just wish I could be could be there for him to and fight his battles with loneliness together. I hope that this stage of his life will soon be over. I love him and I miss him.

I just want you to be LOVE.

First of all, belated Happy Birthday Reens! Yesterday was Reena's bday and she celebrated it in Mezze, Greenbelt 2. Aj and I agreed to go together since we will be both coming from SMPC office. The party was not until 10 so AJ and I decided to watch a movie. We planned to watch the movie of Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore- Because I said so. Because of the heavy traffic, we weren't able to catch the 7:25 showing in GB4 so we decided to check on G4. We were running out of time so we just split- I bought the gift for Reens and Aj bought the tickets. We were in the Cinema on time and just when we were getting comfy on our seats and the movie starting --- found out we were on the wrong cinema, with the wrong tickets! Turns out we bought tickets for Notes on a scandal! hehehee.. so we hurriedly went out of the cinema and plead that our tickets be changed. And so they were.. We were on the 8:50 movie. :)

The movie was light, funny, bubbly.. and funny again.. :) It's a nice movie to watch after a hard day's work.. It's a story between a mom and a daughter. An over-protective mother (Diane Keaton) tries to set her daughter (Mandy Moore) up with the right man hoping to help her daughter avoid the same fate as her. I for one can relate to the movie.. as my Mom always says.. Because I said so.. and that's it.. No questions asked. Love you Mom! :)

Towards the end of the movie, the song Love by Matt White was again played.. I loved thing song on Little Manhattan and then finally now I have an mp3 of it.. heehee! Below is the lyrics of the song.

And love ..
Such a silly game we play, oh,
Like a summer's day in May.
What is love, what is love?
I just want it to be love
oooh. oh

I, I, I, I, I .. I can feel it in your kiss
It just gives me tender bliss
What is love, what is love?
I just want it to be love
oooh. oh.

When I feel you around,
I was mad as hell when I hit the ground.
When I see you laugh away
It hurts but I just won't say,
uh uh uh. Loveee ...

Who can tell me? I am lost.
I just think that I am strong.
What is love, what is love?
I just want it to be love.
ooooh ooh.

When I feel you around,
I was so upset we fell on the ground
When I see you mad at me
It was such a silly thing
ooooooh

And love ..
Such a silly game we play,
Like a summer's day in May.
What is love, what is love?
I just want it to be love
ooooh. oh

and I, I, I, I, I, I can feel it in a kiss
It is something I will miss
What is love, what is love?
I just want you to be love

Kuya Dops

Last friday, I took a CDO and went to pampanga to bid goodbye to kuya Dops who's flying to Singapore and try new opportunities outside PI.

I'm thrilled at the same time gloomy. Thrilled that he'll be out there and be someone he wants to be.. hopefully finally be happy and contented and get married! Sad at the same time because i felt some part of me was again missing.. Mom went home but kuya flew out.. Win still not around..

I could not ask for more. My Kuyas are the best Kuyas in the world for me. Yes, we fought endless times when we were young. We hated each other, we hurt each other. But those are just childish acts. Now that we have grown and matured, we've come to respect, appreciate and love each other. I owe part of my life to them. They helped become who I am now. If not for them, I wouldn't be able to become the person I am now.

Kuya Dops stood more than my eldest brother, he became my friend and my father. He disciplined me when I was young and I appreciate that to this very day.He became my friend, my confidant, my armor, my strength. He's the coolest brother I could ever hope for. I hope he knows this. Wherever he may be, our family may be on different parts of the world, but my love for them will forever be close...

I know this is for the best.. especially for me kuya.. I want the  best for him.. I'll surely miss him but I hope that soon.. he'll find the happiness he truly deserves..

Love you Kuya!
