I moved… to a new apartment. Yep, I’m no longer staying at the company’s so-called staff house. I’m no longer that overstaying employee who should have vacated the place 2 weeks after I transferred here in Pampanga. Well, at least I got to “save” on the rent and some bills for almost a month. But now, I’m on my own… and wow what a feeling.
As some of you know I first started working in Baguio, partly because I so love that place and partly because I wanna be “independent”, hence my first taste of apartment living. However, since my brother’s still studying there I wasn’t really on my own. But now, I can truly say that I am now on my own. No roommate to talk to when I’m bored, no brother to bug if I felt like bugging somebody and no parents who keeps track of my schedule.
Although I have yet to spend a whole week alone, I did spend last weekend there by myself. As expected I was so bored since I didn’t have a TV or a computer to watch or play with. So I had to be content with the books that I was able to buy and my middle of the night cleaning spree. After that, all I did was cook, eat what I just cooked and slept the day and night away. Since the place was new to me, I had to leave the lights on so that my overactive imagination would not imagine things that I am not supposed to imagine. Although I really have a hard time sleeping with the lights on I made myself sleep through that very bright ordeal (at home – at least back at my parents home – I sleep with all of the lights out, I even have to totally turn off the TV and DVD player just so I wont see any light coming from them). I dunno until when will I be trying to sleep with the lights on (scaredy cat me!). I might buy a night light just so I could get a decent sleep.
Hopefully, with this BIG move (a kinda new job and a new place all in the span of 43 days!), I can also begin a new “phase” in my life. If only I can unload some of my emotional baggage along the way then this year ought to be just right for me. So even if I still sometimes think of the “what ifs” in my life, I could still say that I have moved on... Yes, I have indeed moved on with my life and that is thanks to you.
huwaw! betchay i'm so proud of you!!! keep living the life and enjoy every moment of it!! see the world...explore and most of all ... love to the fullest!!! amishu girl!
