kind words flooded my inbox. some wished me luck, and then there were subtle praises and mushy mushy words of acknowledgment.

there were times where i cursed them a lot, frequent episodes of heightened stress and overwhelming workload.

but they were good good clients. and they know i've done pretty well. it's feels like nintendo, done with one level then goin up to the next. this one's better cause i get to look back and thank them.

it's been a pretty laid back day, my second to the last in the office.  next weekend i'm supposed to fly to Bangkok to assume a regional account management post, handling a big Unilever account. and then leave for Singapore by end of the year.

at times i still couldn't believe it, im leaving leaving. echoing it in my head several times just to make my hands and my feet and my belly believe that i am leaving leaving.

it's been hard getting sleep lately, cause the thoughts and the imaginary probabilities just keep flooding my head.

leaving leaving.

this may seem really weird but i've been getting offers. people lining up to sleep with me so because i am leaving.

i have no plans of awarding tickets to anyone in the queue but but. it's a weird thing, like i don't know if i should feel glad or embarrassed about it.

when i'm in bangkok, during moments of momentary stillness and ennui, i'll probably be keeping that thought inside my head, mentally licking it like a lollipop until it simply melts away:

there was a queue in Manila
