In Other News

I'm turning 24 at the end of the month and I can still be grounded.

Yup. I'm grounded for 2 months. I have to be home at 7pm at the most otherwise I will not be allowed to go out at night anymore. Even if it's really an important event.

I did deserve it. After all, I am sick to begin with and they are just concerned about my health. I really don't mind. I have been having a lot of stress lately and going home early might help me out to relax and regenerate. So I guess, it's a blessing in disguise that I am grounded. At least, I will be able to rest a bit from all the shit that has been happening.

Speaking of shit, that's the reason why I have been coming home late. There have been a lot of disgruntled employees that we really need to talk it out outside the office and just release everything that we need to release. So that at least we can keep our sanity when we're inside that hell hole.

Last night...or should I say this early morning was one of those examples. As I've said, I'm already grounded and I went to dinner with them. And we let out all the things that we have been keeping inside and we just have to release it all out. By 11pm, we were laughing again. And not just any laugh but the genuine laugh of someone having the night of their lives. And it really felt good.

After dinner, we have decided to take a road trip. I was suppose to go straight home that time but I have this crazy idea to go detour to another officemate's house and just hang out for a while. We also did update him on what's been happening. And we were thinking of an action plan on what to do. We have a vague idea now as well. All we have to do now is really fix ourselves up and just try to do the best that we can. We really had fun that night. Plus the fact that I get to see someone who we haven't seen in a long time and he gave us hope of a new beginning. I just hope that that new beginning would be soon. =)

All in all, I got to relax and have fun again with people who I now consider real friends. If this company has been giving me all the crap in the world, one good came out of it. I have found friends like them. And I wouldn't exchange them for the world.

Yup I am grounded. But what I did yesterday was worth it! For the first time in my life, I got to really relax and have fun. Something that I have not done in months.

In addition, the reason why I didn't get to meet my barkada was because of that something that I've found out in the office that I really need to fix. And here's hoping. If it did push through...our problems will be more or less solved.

So I guess I have to ask everyone to cross their fingers... =)
