Last week we said goodbye to one of our katropa in our department (Batangas-based)-Sir Keats. He'll be leaving JG for another company-one that could give him satisfaction both in terms of work and compensation.
We have been told many times over about the high rate of turnover in our company. And yes, we've heard so many stories of whoevers leaving even if they haven't been regularized yet. But it still felt different that someone whom you got to spend time with is joining the flock. Sad... :(


============

Tommorow we'll be holding a farewell party for one of our churchmates-Ate Beulah. She'll be married on thursday and will be living with her husband in Tabuk since then. It makes me sad to think of her leaving, especially when I try to imagine what it feels like being in her shoes. Yes, of course, marriage is one splendid thing in anybody's life. But being away from your family (both biological and social) whom you've lived with and grown with for n years of your life... It's impossible not to be sad.

============

I know I'll still see both of them sometime else, though not regularly anymore.

============

The thing is, I never really liked farewells.. Goodbyes.. I just want everybody, everything around me, to stay right where they are. Ironic for someone like me who wants to explore places and make new friends in wherever place I am.
Pero basta..

I just don't want anybody leaving.
