My job starts tomorrow. An orientation of some form will probably be held at the office where I will be working. Based on my experience so far, I don’t get too nervous about starting a new job. Technically, it’s my third one (although the second one is not an official employment). I met some of my co-new hires last Friday. Most of them were fresh graduates so it isn’t really that fun (since most of them had friends who were hired too). I was trying to make friends but to no avail. I just went on with the documentation that was asked from us that morning.

Throughout the morning, I often caught myself smiling alone. I was actually filling my mind with thoughts. Probably making things a little less unfamiliar. I have been having a lot of thoughts lately – about living alone in this new place. Well, I guess much of this thinking will soon be replaced by thoughts about my work and much of my energy will probably be spent for learning and making it up on the new job. Oh well, at least I get to make the most of my stay here. Nothing to do but to get my hands dirty with office work.

I hope I get to find new real friends around here. It’s already a blessing to have my girlfriend and some other close friends already close by. Although most of them are a few hours of traffic away, at least they are here. It’s really good to have a support network when living alone. I understand now the saying “No Man is an Island”.

Blogging is really a relief. The problem though is that I have to blog in this internet cafe in the corner. I really hope to have my own mobile connection just so I could blog from anywhere I am. Kids are very noisy in this cafe. Hehe. Quite fun to hear though. I remember the time when I play Defence of the Ancients with some classmates back in college. It was a few hours of sheer fun, peer play, strategy and success.

Anyway, I guess I have to be heading home by now. I still have to prepare for tomorrow. Hope to drop by again soon. Ciao!
