August 2007


What a very tiring day.

I can already feel the pressure and expectation from my new position. Good thing my Team Lead is there to guide me. But of course, most of the decisions will come from me. I'm just starting and I know I can do this.

I know I told my parents that I got promoted, finally. I saw how my siblings were happy for me but I never saw the same expression with them. My mom immediately asked how much would my new salary be while my dad just replied "Why did it took you this long to be promoted? I thought you're doing great on your job?"

I always tell myself not to expect too much but I can't help it. I want them to be proud of me even for a few seconds. But I guess that's too much to ask.  

That was the time that Zeke saw me in the locker room. I thought I was alone that time since it is within working hours but I guess Zeke sneaks out whenever he wants. Remind me to watch him every now and then. I want to catch him red handed so I can use it for blackmail whenever he teases me about my eyes.

Although, I'm thankful that Zeke made an effort to check on me earlier. I never expected that he'll do that. I guess I judged him too soon. But still, he's that playful tarsier that everyone is fond of. Maybe I can treat him one of this days as a thank you for cheering me up earlier. But of course, I'll think about this for a long time. Knowing him, he might think that I like him if I invited him out.

Anyway, tomorrow is another day. More chances to prove that I can do things better, to prove myself.

I know one day they will be proud of me.


PS. I miss my college friends.

My paper plane may have encountered a slight turbulence but I know this will make it stronger. The wind that blows below it's wing will make it soar higher, farther than I can imagine.
