180 degrees

I know I should have written this since last week... but have been kinda busy even though now I'm unemployed :P
Italy won the World Cup! Yayyyyy! You wouldn't believe how happy I am... I immediately jumped from the sofa when Grosso blasted his penalty kick passed Barthez... I'm sorry if I shocked some other people... It was just a pure natural reaction
Unbelievable! I waited for this moment since 1994... Still remember the sad day when my hero R. Baggio ballooned his penalty over the bar... I root for Italy since that World Cup
Maldini played in that year... too bad he wasn't part of this winning team... because I believe he deserves this glory more than any other footballer (I'm a hard fan of AC Milan you see :P)
I guess everything happens for a reason... If Maldini didn't resign.. he would probably start at the left back... and in that case Grosso would probably sitting on the bench... and those miraculous things would not happen (the penalty kick againts Aussie, the beautiful goal againts Germany and the winning pk in the final)... So somehow Maldini played a part in Italy winning the World Cup... by being on the sideline... haha a forced correlation here
Thank you Azzurri... you made my dream come true

being in cloud #9 for one day... the next day was my last day at work
it hit me at the end of the day.. how hard it was for me to let go
my fault.... i took a last tour when everyone else already went home
i walked through the facility and i was overwhelmed by the emotion that i had (blame it to PMS as usual haha)
as i was walking around i could see glimpses of shadows around me... people labeling those jars... putting the caps on... my supervisor lifting the pallet jack... wow what memories those were... they were so vivid
finally i came back to the first desk i was sitting on my 1st day... it was at the back of the shipping room (pathetic right...) i was smiling to myself.. imagining how small my first desk was compared to the one i had now
i felt i had walked around enough... i knew that i would not spend the night there anyway so decided to go home
i kept remembering what my supervisors and managers said to me that day... i was touched
i felt bad that i left them when they need help the most
it was the lowest point so far for me this year... i had no energy to do anything
but i have to move on right... so i told myself that i was blessed to have the experience... glad that i did a good job and learned a lot of things... and that's why i have to keep looking forward for the next step...
my 1st job gives me the confidence that i can survive in this real world
it takes 24 years for the Italians to get what they have always dreamed of
long journey ahead of me... but i know i'm ready

yep i guess the funny thing was that i could be so happy in one day and be so sad the next day
nothing is permanent in this world i guess

it's apparent that i was too attached to my work for the past few months
that's all i wrote besides soccer topics haha
now i think i can start exploring new things ;)
