The Big Move

The packing started a week ago. Everybody in the office was busy sorting out his or her files. One was shredding documents for one whole day while the others were securely taping boxes strewn all over their workstations. Today is the big move.

I have temporarily been holding office here in Ortigas for almost a month now. Ortigas has been home to me the past four (4) years and the move to Makati is a welcome change. I’ve never held office in Makati but this place is home to me with my favorite place on earth being there – Greenbelt. I like Ortigas since it’s convenient to hop from one mall to another. Podium is very accessible and Megamall is a stone’s throw away. If I walk a little further, Shangri-la is just right by the corner. I usually have get together dinners around the area and I’ll miss being around this place.

It has been one change after the other for me and the physical transfer of my office is a part of my transition. Ortigas holds so many memories for me but that is all there is - memories. I’m happy to leave it at that. Initially, it was difficult for me seeing a place I don’t want to even remember but as weeks went on, I figured out why I’m strategically situated where I am. It was to validate certain feelings and most importantly to heal.

Things are growing on me. I’m slowly getting accustomed to my new life and I know I’ll never go back to the way I was. It is by choice that I handle my life this way. Lines have been drawn and I feel perfectly fine with it.
