missing ELBI


life has not been easy lately
schedules have been really busy
with too many things going on
what i have been longing for is home

it is great to be back in elbi
breathe in the fresh air and the scenery
visit the same spots i've been before
as if i was back in college once more

at the end of the day i'll return to the city
to work and all the complexities
yet somehow i do not need to worry
for i know that i have a home in elbi

a late introduction



To most I am a stranger
an abstraction from the norm.
To others a loner
always minding my own.
To a few annoyingly clever
knows a little too much in the world.
 What I am is a weaver
creating tapestries with words.
A mere wanderer
passing idly by.
A lonesome observer,
noting the what’s and the why's.

scribbles from 2nd of May...



The light was drained as the door closed
the emptiness readily made its presence known
the stillness in the air and the reverberating silence
have driven any form of thought out of existence
then came a whimpering voice saying NO
forcing itself to cry out DO NOT GO
nothing came out but a short gasp for air
as if being chocked and facing mortal fear
throughout the night silent screams were heard
and unseen tears were continuously shed
the clock kept counting the passing time
it's clicking created an unforgiving rhyme
after some time the light returned
however, the voice can no longer be heard
instead something else was revealed by the light
a body lies there but nobody seems to be inside
an empty vessel almost devoid of life
does not hear anything from the world outside
as if hidden behind walls that fear has fortified

something work-related ^__^



During my idle hours at the training, I tried to be "productive" by writing.  Not that it makes sense or anything, just something to keep my mind working.  I do not want to turn into those "zombies" that have had their brains sucked out by the industry. *peace*

This is still a work in progress.  Who knows, maybe I can write something worth reading these coming weeks.  Consider this one a very rough draft. ^_^

I will try to attach a pic of a page or two in my planner where I scribbled this down.

Here goes...
We were given the choice when we first started:
to accept the offer or opt for another.
We chose to mark our names on the paper,
and from there we became part of something bigger.
The orientations and the many sessions
have reiterated to us the working notion;
that our career and our future is ours to mold;
that it is up to us on how it will unfold.


We have always been provided opportunities to grow,
to develop our skills and better what we know.
Both skills and talents, in here, are honed
to create high performers to rival the world's.
Trainings are provided for the knowledge we need.
Learnings are made available with just a click.
Various communities and clubs have been established
to foster our different interests and hobbies.


If we think that there is something else more suited for us,
that we are prepared to take on more tasks,
or that we think that we've learned all that we can,
we could opt to be transferred or advance in the game.
To allow the best people in the industry to grow,
we are provided with the tools of the trade.
We are given the opportunity to navigate our own course.
The rest is up to us and the choices that we'll make.

Watcha think? :P
