Priceless...

It’s almost been a week since coming back from Philippines, but I’m still dosed with memories from the reunion party. All of it, amazingly “unforgettable”.

Now I’m back to work. I tell you, coming back to office after a 3-days break is like a pain in the ass. Even when I was still in Philippines, on the way to the airport, a customer called me asking for shipping confirmation and shipment details. Then 15 minutes later another one called me to discuss delivery problems of our new products.

It was like, “Damn, give me a break!”. It’s real crazy, I’m freaking out, makes me wanna run away. But I’m still fine, able to pick up the pieces from where I left off.

Well, going back to the party, there were mixed emotions of gladness, at the same time loneliness. ‘Coz there I was, so excited to go back, thinking of nothing else but ideas on how to make the party worth keeping for life. But then at the end of it, we have to part ways again, a setback that I didn’t see coming.

The welcome hugs were felt to the bones, I’ve been longing for it since I left Phils. But the hugs of saying goodbye once again were so deep that it touched my soul to the point that I don’t wanna let go. But then… gotta face reality!

I wanna thank everyone who joined that special moment. Thank them for the entertainment, for the intense battle over an undesirable prize, for teasing each other, for a shot of whiskey and vodka, for the karaoke, for all the crazy stuffs, for the surprises, etc.! And most of all, for giving everyone the chance to have a glimpse of each other.

I wanna thank them for those, coz they’re all equivalent to a one crazy unforgettable little reunion party. I’m not talking about mastercard, but indeed, that moment was PRICELESS!!!

Looking back...

My kind of job isn't right for people without patience.

In my case, I've been very patient but I'm about to lose it anytime now.

I'm flying tonight, but with some delivery problems going on, here I am on my desk, trying to convince clients over the phone, replying emails to customers from Japan, inspecting product samples from suppliers, waiting for shipping documents, etc... all these I need to finish within today.
Well I guess I did a great job! I'm about to take-off from my seat now, grab my luggage as I lead my way to the airport.

Oh my God! Can't believe this is happenin'! After long years, finally going back to where I started. I know this opportunity will come, and I believed that the only person in the world who can offer this opportunity to myself is myself alone. So I decided. It's gotta be now or never.

Yes, here I am, giving myself an opportunity to meet again, the people who has become a part of me growing-up. People I laugh and cry with, people I argue or fight with, people I listen to music with, people I once fell in-love with. Oh yeah, they're all the people who made me become a person like I am now. Never been so excited like this!

I'm not that so spontaneous when it comes to showing my emotions. So when I meet this people again at the party tomorrow, I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do. I might freak-out!

Anyway, I wish I can make them feel at home. How I wish to make this party bangin' for them.

Wish me goodluck!

Nothing permanent...

English:

There's nothing permanent except change...

I walked through life for almost 25 years. And lately, I came to notice an often taken for granted important thing.

“Change”.

The time I realized, I was like, “Oh, so this is life after all!”
Believe me; you’ll gonna understand life better when you try to relate it into “change”.

In my life, I believe that there’s no single thing in this world that never change. If ever there is, then that should be “change” itself.

Things in this world, we can’t just handle them with our own hands. If we could only control things so easily, then we can just make things happen the way we want them to be. But, it’s just so impossible for things to stay the same. As time passes, everything just keeps changing.

What we have now doesn’t mean we still have exactly the same one tomorrow. Someday, it may turn into something that we’ve been longing for or it goes the other way.

That’s why it’s always best to enjoy every moment.

日本語：

変化以外に、永久のものはない。。。

約25年間人生を歩んできた。そして、よく無視される一つ大事なことを最近気がついた。

「変化」

気ついたとき、人生ってこういうもんだ～って分かってきた。
これを信じろ；人生というものを「変化」につなげば、よく理解できるようになる。

この世に永久不変のものはないってことを信じている。もし、不変できるものがあるとすれば、それは「変化」そのものだ。

物事は自分の手に置けば、すぐにコントロールできるもんじゃない。そんな簡単にコントロールできるんであれば、すべては自分が思う通りでスムーズに進むはずでしょう。しかし、どんなに恒久に進んで欲しくても、あり得ない。時は流れ、あらゆるものは変化続ける。

今日ここにあるもの、明日も同じものが現れるとは限らない。いつか、希望していた何かに変わるかもしれない。あるいは、その反対になるかもしれない。

だから、あらゆる瞬間を楽しめば、いいんだ！

The Life Journal

English:

Everyone! CJ is in the house!

I've been thinking a lot whether to open a blog or not. Eventually, I finally decided to have one!

So why open my own blog? Well, there's some reasons for that.

One: I can write just anything I want to write. Opinions on certain issues, criticism, thoughts, etc. and whatever just come into my mind!

Two: Since I also want Japanese people to understand, I'll be posting Japanese version of some of my articles. This is my way of improving my Japanese speaking skills.

Three: Isn't it a great way to connect people?

So, for that reasons, I will try my best to make every article interesting, so that everyone's time will not be wasted.

And of course, I would be glad to receive any comments, reactions or suggestions!

So please, occasionally visit and have fun! Hope to see you often!
