the view from this tiny corner

@#! grr.

after a month of uncertainty as to when I can go home… after having my 4-day stay meticulously planned by she… after psyching ourselves up… after packing all my stuff. then they tell me i can’t go.

geez. now we have to re-schedule the church seminar, the appointment with parish priest, the appointment with the tailor and what not. She also needs to re-schedule her approved leave. i have to reschedule my life. haay… buhay.

and it’s not that i have practical reason to stay. i have already turned-over my work. i have no pending tasks. i am good to go. i am staying only to comply to the contract. the contract says i cannot leave without a replacement. but, point 1: the contract is not between me and our client but between my company and our client. and it’s not that they do not know that i am leaving. they know it since two months ago. and point 2: the guy replacing me will not perform the same tasks as i am doing. so its pointless for me to wait. point 3: since i have already turned over my tasks and i have no pending assignments and the guy replacing me is not anyway doing my task, then it goes to show that the client does not actually need me here anymore!

my gulay. them and their politics.

so not for another 5 days

haay sa wakas. matapos ang higit isang taon dito sa riyadh, makakalipat na rin ako ng project… i’m off to kenya. medyo mataas ang expectation ko sa kenya, although alam kong third world country din yun gaya natin. kahit na. sana makapag safari ako. sana makapasyal ako. at maka-kuha ng maraming-maraming letrato. sa saudi kasi pinagsawaan ko nang kunan ng picture ang compund namin tsaka ng mga kasama ko dito.

…pero malaki din ang posibilidad na sa dami ng trabaho eh baka hindi rin naman ako makapasyal. pero kahit na. safari is within my reach. hehe.

…at uuwi na rin akong pinas. kahit mga 4 na araw lang ako dun excited pa rin ako. miss ko na pamilya ko dahil wala kasing kainuman dito. miss ko na din hunny ko dahil wala akong ka-deyt dito. miss ko na ang bagyo dahil napakainit dito. miss ko na din ang polusyon ng maynila :p

mabait sa akin ang diyos :). salamat po.

ay teka, magpapa-book pa pala ako ng ticket.
