lea's goodbye

may 20, 2008

bummer.

lea, whom i fondly call lilia, recently resigned. she grabbed the 6-month contract as a change analyst at barclay's singapore. she'll be working side by side carol, another impressive former workmate, whom 2 years ago, found her bliss in singapore.
she broke the news to me first (aint flattering lilia!). she begged me to keep hush about it. but i wasn't able to contain my disappointment (stubborn i know). lea was the crème de la crème amongst the service desks..however, she felt doing her best wasn't given credit. it did, just so you know lilia, we often talked about your impressive work during supervisor meets, the position just aint ready yet. anyhow, she got bored waiting, waiting for her turn to seniority, but it never came. so when the opportunity in singapore presented itself, it was her cue to leave.
came the 20th, she threw her own despedida party at fat johnny's grill timog. it was one heck of a party lilia! me drama, me sumusuka, me tulog, me naliligo sa alak, me love story in the making haha, walang katapusang pichuran, at marami pang iba. the booze was nonstop. it's always fun watching colleagues get drunk & go crazy diba.
that's lea



lilia, abs & the rest are packin up for singapore on sunday & gettin problematic on how they're gonna carry all those packs of marlboro menthol you asked for! i told them to scatter the packets in their check-in luggages then lito butted, buksan na daw yung mga kaha at iscatter mismo yung sticks para di na talaga mahalata sa sg immigration! bwahaha!
i know i'll see you by the christmas season? so this is really not a goodbye, it's 'paalam babalik ako' (ika nga ni lolo for big lola, along with the british accent... teehee!)
nagkita na ule kayo ni auntie lah sa me noodelan near bencoolen? si uncle lah na cab driver na maniac? si ron?? hahahahaha...i miss you girl!!!!
