what I will dearly miss about...

Cebu Electronics
- how it feels to hold office in a cube – heck, it’s the arctic region of petc…the air is so darn frigid…and it can get lonely…like when everyone else is in a meeting, which is quite often
- my own PC that runs @ 2.66 GHz which came with a humongous local disk space of 150 GB and a very handy DVD/CD-ROM combo drive
- record number of overviews/orientations attended in a month
- briefest tenure with the greatest learning experience

IMDS
- nightmare suppliers and counterparts (well, some of them)
- IMDS Sorority sisterhood bound by a common madness to american idol season 7, david cook and Korean/Chinese/Japanese teleserye
- willing and appreciative guinea pigs to my cooking

Lear Football Club
- TTh p.m. routine (and the email chat that goes before it)
- football fiestas, field goals, sprains, field stunts, colorful bruises
- fellowship that the wonderful sport of soccer has inspired

Lear - PETC
- flex(iest) time
- silverado trips to SBT (South Bus Terminal);

Tokiwa
- cringing under sato san’s unpredictability (worst critic at one point and amiable host the next)
- bowling tourneys at gaisano country mall bowlingplex, foodfest and movie marathons at SM on paydays

Lapulapu
- seemingly endless list of holidays and long weekends
- proximity and accessibility to a host of places of interest
- being a nightmare neighbor (hosting a videoke night and getting hushed by the landlady)

Cebu
- first job interview at Sakurai in 2003 where I was quizzed about the similarity of sugar and plastic polymer molecular structure
- getting lost around Colon in search of the Provincial Capitol for the Labor Day Job Fair
- eating dinner at freedom park, carbon market before sir alinio’s 6-9 pm Econ class with daut and kadut
- watching Prince Caspian at SM in the middle of Storm Frank Signal #1
- bisaya (the dialect) siomai sa tisa, “puso” (?) and ngohiong

see you across the Tañon Strait...
