Effective date: July 11, 2016

One year ago, a rather new girl at work spent a day with her officemates down south for some fun and adventure.

One year later, she quits.

Basically, today was my last day at BDO. And I suppose this is the obligatory reflection post.
Allow me to reminisce.

May 4, 2015, I started working at BDO. At the time our office was located at San Juan City, Manila. I remember being so nervous about it. I didn't know much of what to expect. I basically preached my survival instinct that day: JUST WING IT.

I did.

It was rather awkward for the first month or two.

Then it gets better.

The longer it gets, the better it gets.

Now I feel so comfortable with my teammates, I dread going home.

They're like family to me.

I spend majority of my time with them.
I eat breakfast, lunch, and sometimes even have dinner with them.

Actual work was the sideline to the new found friends we've become over time.

And I will miss it.

Anyway, going back to this day, July 11, 2016.

I was honestly touched, by the efforts they've put up for me.

They gave me this board, about half of my size. The board was pinned with messages from everyone at work. Then it held pictures of me riding a Benz auto, and me on a Presidential stand. It was the coolest thing ever. As if they weren't contented with that, they also gave me this scrapbook filled with pictures from the time I was a froshie to this day.

It was beautiful, and very touching.

Some even gave me extra gifts to remember them by.

It was the sweetest thing.

It melted my heart, but not enough to make me cry.

Mostly there, people expected me to cry.

Perhaps they even made it their goal.

But I have no idea why.

But it honestly didn't make me sad, leaving the place.

I was just numb.

I don't know what to feel.

I really thought I'd feel relief at first, but then that didn't happen.

Then maybe sadness, but that didn't happen.

I'm just... so preoccupied with what awaits me: Law School.

BDO is just a thing I had to deal with.

Like accompanying Marshall to his errand because I need to.

But right when I get home, I instantly go back to my life.

BDO is an experience for sure, something I would trace back down the road.

Don't get me wrong. I love everyone there. I'll miss all the people.

But not the job.
Not even the workplace.
Not even BDO.

It's weird.
Perhaps, I'm just a VERY BAD PERSON.

Kind of like the same reason why I'm single,

Because I don't care.
