THIS IS IT! Goodbye AC Corporation!

I've said a lot of goodbyes since the year started — goodbye to friends leaving the country, to balikbayan friends who'll leave the country again, to a lot of stuff which I had to dispose, to this to that to this to that... BUT it's only today when I'll start saying bigger, and more serious goodbyes. (Hence, expect a lot of goodbye posts after this one. Yes there will be more!)

Yeah, this time, goodbye AC Corporation! As what I told my colleague once: this won't be like that time I left my first job, when I held back tears as I bid goodbye to my colleagues-slash-new-friends. Now, it's totally different: I just want to end things, fervently. The stay was more than 2 years, but there's no social life to leave — No attachments, no girlfriends, just a very few fond memories (is that good or bad? hehe), which I won't cry over, but yeah, okay... I'll miss somehow. hehe.


my most memorable task: one-week J2EE Training in BIR,
my first real teaching experience!


my most memorable non-work trip: calatagan outing!

As I say "goodbye AC", I also mean goodbye Alabang. Not that I won't step on this place again, ever. Of course I'll still be an Alabang girl every weekend! It's just that I'm leaving a lifestyle which I loved 100x than that in Makati. I had a not-so-urban-life here — not so tall buildings, trees, grassy empty lots, less pollution, less people and windy afternoons. you know what I mean?

A friend joked once that I was "probinsicated" here — I can't forget that time when I stayed here for 2 or 3 weeks straight, then I passed by SLEX again for the first time, realizing that it's been a loooong time since I last saw the latest, coolest billboards in SLEX. gee! I looked up with awe, almost the whole travel time. no kidding! HAHAHA!

Before leaving, I went to the roof deck to take some pix, from 5:30 pm to sunset. There I realized, I should have visited the spot on late afternoons, in those times I wanted to clear my mind. It was so windy, the place was just so... serene. Too bad it was my last day! Oh well. I'll definitely miss these:


ATC, Madrigal Ave. and Gold's Gym Alabang!!!


Northgate and Westgate: no, there's nothing much to miss,
but I'll miss this view (minus the dirty laguna bay)!!!


roofdeck: the bench where we used to hangout
for 20-30 mins after a quick lunch (when boss is around)!


roofdeck: the yosi spot for the boys


the sunset. the pretty pretty sunset!


...and South Center Tower (taken from outside, CCF area)

Oh, btw, I'll never forget the most important thing I had in AC — one thing I wasn't able to let go until the last minute. I loved it so much that I had to take a pic (hehe):


hehe. yes, my white vaio, and my pink mouse!

ANYWAY, I don't want to be so dramatic now. So I'm going to end this: To everyone I worked with, Thank you!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank the clients I worked with (you know who you are), who never heard up till now that I'm leaving. Sorry I wasn't allowed to say goodbye the way I wanted to, sooooo I'll say it here even if it may seem improper (better informal than never!): Thank you, and goodbye!

THIS IS IT! - not the end, but a wonderful start. So... see you around, au revoir!
