mga tsong at tsang, mga bro and sis, reminder lang, produkto lang ito ng mapaglarong isipan at kawalan ng magawa sa opisina… anumang pagkakahawig sa totoong buhay ng taong kilala nyo ay pawang pagkakataon lamang at hindi sinasadyang ilathala sa blog na ito… hope you like it, cheers!

it was a busy boring afternoon in the office, waiting for my beloved client users to report application related problems and issues… i cannot think of anything to do, i need to kill time and to make myself occupied so i decided to get a cup of coffee… i was on my way to the pantry and when i reached the first corner, a bare headed gentleman sitting in the mobile area was having a casual conversation with another person sitting next to him.. as i passed by in between them, i caught their attention and then this guy called me up and asked for my opinion on what they were discussing… at that same moment, he jokingly introduced me to the other person… a lady in red blouse, in her late twenties with long black hair, a magnet like smile and a beautiful pair of china eyes… quiet yet so bubbly, smart and cheerful are my first impressions of her… i stood there for a while throwing my own views on the topic.. after a few more minutes, i went on to get my coffee and returned to my humble workstation… i didnt expect that from that point onwards, it will be the beginning of something worth remembering… a new chapter in the biography of a man whom at his age, still seeks what he wants to do in his life, a man lost in translation..

my day at work starts with daily monitoring of morning batch jobs, attending technical discussions, reading and responding to emails.. then the rest of day will be consumed in solving simple to brain draining application problems and my most hated part, answering the annoying desk phone with the nasty user on the other line, grrrr… in between this busy schedule, i would steal a minute of my time to get a cup of steroids in the form of coffee.. on the same route, on the same area, i will occassionally see the same girl i met recently… as i pass by her place, i will always say ‘HI’ and she will answer back with a ‘HELLO’ plus the sweet sugar smile… ooooh… i think she’s ute…

it continued on for several days, unknowingly making it a habit every late afternoon… until at one point, she asked for my corporate mailing ID so we can chat on the company’s instant messaging system (similar to yahoo and icq)… it draws a smile in my face and sees it as an opportunity for me to know her better…

from acquaintances, we became friends.. we usually begin our simple conversations in the afternoon, trading stories of life and arguing on senseless issues, the same casual conversation we had when i first met her… it went on like this for days and even weeks, until the exchange of thoughts were no longer limited within the boundaries of our workplace…

we traded contact numbers and extended our communication outside the work area… aside from the usual instant messaging in the office, we can now express our thoughts privately through the numeric keypad of the mobile phone and not the traditional qwerty keyboard of the computer, away from prying eyes of our office colleagues… we still converse on the same genre, lovelife, family life and anything under the sun… as the level of friendship moves up, we began to know more about each other, the “what you like, what i like” kind of things… the first impressions i saw in her remains the same… and as i learn more things about her, i am starting to feel uneasy, worried and confused… a feeling which i myself cannot define…

but life is really full of surprises.. who would ever think that the friendly relationship we have put up within a small period of time will come to an end… an end that will change not just our lives, but the lives of others as well… are we at the wrong place and at the wrong time? does this mean that things will never be the same again? will it be for the better or for the worst? i dont know.. only time will tell…
