I miss...

I feel like I'm in a doldrums this past few weeks. Anyway I was browsing the pics on my computer and nostalgia hits me. I miss a lot of things...

1. I miss my dog Pochie very very much. (Everytime I run or walk in the park or just hit the street I always wanted to be with my dog or just to have a dog at my side. I wish I can have a dog here, which is a wishful thinkin coz my cousin doesn't want pets and its not allowed in the apartment. So in order for me to have a dog I have to buy a house. damn...)

2. Beach/Ocean/Waterpark. Most of my friends know I love going to the beach even though I don't know to swim. I miss the waves, the beautiful blue beach, jet skiing or just chillin under the sun while sipping an iced cold coconut water. :)

3. Travelling.  I know I just travelled to Toronto last May but it was just like 4 days. There's a lot to explore. I miss long travels, going to different countries, places, cities and exploring. I wish my travel plan with gogo buddy this December will materialize. Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. Or Japan?

4. Eating good foods. (Hey did you know for the last 3 months I never eaten McDonalds food? And now Im cooking my own food? Yup thats true! But I still miss eating out on a decent resto. I miss going out with my friends and exploring every new opened resto in the city. Here in 'Peg I don't know much of good resto. I only eat on those I can find at the mall. Establishments here are way way different compare to Manila and other countries that I've been to. In here its very simple and sometimes it looks creepy in the outside, like a rundown house/building but people said they serve good foods. I haven't tried going any of those resto yet.)

5. Teammates. In my past jobs I really have a good teammates and they become my friends. No matter how toxic the job is Im happy going to work because Im seeing my teammates everyday. Mind you I love my job here at the school and the people I work with. Its just that its summer right now and most of them are on vacation and Im here stuck trying to be productive. Anyway last night I received a thank you message from Hector saying he's been promoted to IT Admin now. He's really thankful that I pushed and helped him to become what he is right now.  Im really happy and proud that my babies are getting promoted and going places. Back when I was a team leader I doubt myself if I can handle 20+ people. Considering Im young and the people that Im gonna handle are older than me and I'll be on constant talk/report to the CIO, CFO and CEO. Knowing me I always rise to the challenge and for sure they wont promote and gave that position to me if Im not deserving. So I got the job, I got these 20 people who've been became really close to me. I miss them once in a while and happy that they keep me on the loop on what's happening out there.

6. My old creative self. I know I cant sing, dance or draw. But I used to write poems, stories and such. But nowadays I feel dumb. I cant write a good stuff anymore. My choice of words sucks, I cant even conjure a proper sentence. I know I always abuse the subject verb agreement when I talk. Wrong choice of preposition and such. My English teacher will be very disappointed with me.  I talk nonsense and it really annoys the hell out me. What happened to me?!

7. My friends. 1 year and counting and I still I haven't found a decent gogo buddy here. Yes I have some friends in here but most of them are really workaholic. It makes me wonder, me and my friends back in PH are workaholic too. We are always oncall and have a lot of responsibilities. There are time when we are inside the movie house and suddenly my blackberry will vibrate, it only means one thing, trouble at work so I need to leave and head to the office. We work night to morning but still we find time to get together. Why can't those things happen here? A friend in Toronto is joking the reason why I haven't found a gogo buddy here in 'Peg is because that friend is in Toronto. :))

And the list will goes on and on...but so far Im good. I like living here in 'Peg. Im cooking, doing things and most important im still breathing...
