My email sent to friends and officemates read:
Today is my last day here in Smart and I’m very happy to say that I’ll be embarking on a new phase of my life to try out new things, break new horizons, fulfill and pursue my dreams as well as get my groove back. I won’t be adding to the brain drain for now but will be staying here for sometime.
Thank you for enriching my life and experiences. See you around 
Just this morning, I submitted my resignation letter which will be effective on 25 August. Whew, after holding on to that piece of paper for a few days and just after a day from payday, it comes as a relief that I’ve finally had it signed. Just before giving it to my manager, felt buttlerflies in my stomach and my hands were cold. But then, it has to be done. After a few rounds with HR and the company cooperative, its time to go over the clearance forms.
Now there is no turning back.
My cousin Janet is celebrating her birthday today, 3 August. I just hope she’s spending the day with herself and her family instead of working at the hospital. Anyway, happy birthday Net :p
I just did it. A simple call to my manager (he’s in CDO) and its done. I’ll just formalize this one, talk with my HR manager tomorrow and in a few weeks, this chapter will come to a close and a new one will start. A new beginning.
The skies over is just dark as hard and driving rain as well as strong winds continued to pour down and howl. Glenda (the typhoon) might already be far away but its effect, inducing the monsoon, still continued while, as I was told, down south, its just sunny. Classes have been suspended at all levels already as some low lying areas of the metropolis and surrounding provinces already are flooded.
Me? Still here in the office ready to press the button that will usher in a new phase of my life. A few hours from now, that button would finally be pressed to start the wheels of change. Quite risky. Really risky but now is the time to take a chance. To take the plunge to the unknown. To the new horizon of which I am comfortable to say that I will, at the end of the day, weather and conquer it.
I’m now ready to face a new life. I’m ready to pursue and fulfill my dreams and get my groove back.
Finally!
