... I'm gonna say... Wala. That's just a stupid joke that you won't get unless you're jologs.  And it's really not the point. Or maybe it is.
This is the last time I'll be posting an entry using this computer in the office. I guess, because it's the last time I'll be using this computer at all. And the last time I'll be sitting on this chair, leaning on this desk, sneezing this particular group of dust... Hehehe.
Well, things always change or so everyone says, and I'm really the only one stubborn who doesn't want to accept it. But look at me now, with Employment Clearance on one hand and a Friendster account on the other, it's as if I'm one of those people I always criticize because of their susceptibility to change. Although, I don't really think it's me who has changed, but just the world around me. Well, don't I always say that anyway because I try to take the blame away from myself?
Still. It's strange to think how much has changed the past year, or the past few months, weeks, days, or even hours. For example, this morning when I woke up, I wasn't thinking about goodbyes at all, and yet now, it's all I can think about. I guess I can't help it as it's something I'm almost required to tell the people I talk to. I am about to leave after all... I wonder how it didn't occur to me, not once, this morning, that this was actually going to be difficult, even painful.
I'm always sad when things change. Whether they're for the better or for the worse. Maybe it has something to do with how I'm so easily satisfied with current situations, that even when change is good, I still can't help but feel, a little regret.
Something I actually really don't like to do is to start anew. I feel so comfortable with my friends from high school because they already know me and I never have to explain anything to them. Maybe it's just plain laziness on my part, but doesn't everyone get tired of having to introduce themselves, and their personalities, over and over and over?
Why did I voluntarily subject myself to something new? Perhaps because I know that something that's already familiar will also be where I'm going. Or maybe I wanted people to think that I've matured enough to let go of things I've already grown accustomed to. Although, sometimes, isn't moving on another form of escape, and staying the braver and more mature action?
I guess there are 2 sides to everything, but I don't want to end this entry with such a simple conclusion. Mixed emotions? Parang graduation! Maybe it's because I never have much conviction for anything so I never know exactly what I'm leaving and what I'm getting myself into until the time comes that I do have to leave and do something new.
Oh, why'd my officemates have to prepare food and that Takeshi poster of sorts for me anyway? Now I know my tears are sure to fall. Must I recall that entry about Missing? Perhaps my start of the year will always be about nostalgia, and Valentine's Day is about new beginnings? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Like with everything else.
