NEW DAY

I got an inspiration from my ex-officemate's blog. Well, he doesn't know (until tonight) that I have been peeking into his blog after I found it accidentally. I found his blog interesting and I have learned a little more about him with the tidbits of clues that he has written:

"Anyway.. i think i have adjusted well with my new company as i’m looking forward to be in office everyday. No more excuses to burn just to let my self absent from my previous. Wahahaha. My finances are quite OK already. Life has been fair. Love hasn’t. Clients have been cooperative. Sleep is normal. Blood pressure is Normal. Henyetah is ok. I am ok. You are ok... Today is December 1, 2008. I’ll mark this day as a new day for me."

I have been moping and sulking for the past two months because things were not going my way. I have blamed everybody I could. If inanimate objects are "blamable" I would have blamed it too. While I was wasting away, this guy has actually climbed his mountain, reached his star and finally he has found the joy that has been eluding him for so long.

December 1 has been his turning point, I would mark mine as December 3. Today, things have started looking up for me. I hope it will stay that way until I climb my own mountain, reach my own star and find the joy that has been eluding me for so long. ;-)

My ex-officemate's blog

While the washing machine was churning away, I went online, looking for nothing specific. I checked the updated showbiz web pages (same old celebrity angst), checked the movies (everybody still hyped over Twilight), checked the jobs website (still nothing there for me) and finally googled the names of people I know. To my surprise, I discovered a website of a former colleague.

I got curious and sneaked in to his website. It is a collection of random thoughts, rants, movie reviews, photos and many more. He didn't strike me as a writer, nor did I think that he had anything interesting to share. I was amused about the things he had on his website. His angst over his job in the company where we used to work for gave me an idea of how he really felt. It didn't strike me that he was struggling then, it looks like he was keeping it to himself.

He had several entries about the love of his life - I really didn't expect him to have one because he is sooo childish, and I told him to "grow up!" more than once. Now I realize he is a softie and hopelessly in love with a Juliet in his own Shakespeare world.

I also discovered that he is getting good at photography and I am learning a lot about this office mate I didn't quite like before through his pictures. When he bought his SLR camera, I was certain that he was just catching up on the bandwagon because three of our officemates had the same SLR cameras.

I am pretty amused and laugh at how misled I was about him. I'll let him know when I see him and ask about his Juliet in his perfect little Shakespeare world.
