10 years

it was december, 2001 when i first ventured into the corporate, big, big world outside university. i shared that experience with 8 other hopeful individuals: harbie, donna, maricor, thyra, aileen, cindy, rico, and jimmy.

the company was spi and it's just a tricycle ride away from home. what more could i ask for? more than proximity, it's the good experience with my batch mates that mattered. we were so diverse, with shrieking differences, yet we jived.

i loved the debates of aileen and rico/jimmy. they debated about everything! from heaven/hell to leavig contact numbers.

there was the pabalagbag parking of harbie in sm sucat, and how we became tameme when the guard scolded us (read: harbie hehehe).

and the nihongo class, which thyra and maria aced. all that rico and i could muster, up to now, is a mere "ichi ni san," which means 1, 2, 3. ugh. i will never figure out how to use kore wa, sore wa.

and the gamaling and gayosi of rico and jimmy! enough said.

and there was the laguna impromptu outing with donna, maria, harbs. galore talaga! pati mga nananahimik na bato e nalapastangan! muntik na pati mga batang walang muwang! susme!

the exposure to cmm was also great. it's all about process, steps, almost oc, but the process worked! that's why it was a shock when i moved to another company. no more saving of approval mails, no more everything! but i miss it up to now.

after 10 years, we met again. it was last dec at italianni's at boni high street. harbie, cindy, and i were in manila so it was a perfect time to meet. donna, jimmy, thyra, and aileen didn't make it, sayang!

nothing changed! well, except there's mike, pistoy & alfredo, baby rico coming soon & mak. oherwise, we are still the same crazy bunch. sana next time complete na! :)
