And that’s a wrap.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel leaving this job. I really did enjoy doing the layouts. I loved working for and doing the magazine. I’d probably regret it in the future (because that’s what I do, regret decisions) but there are other factors as to why I’m leaving. Why I left. I know that I have to do this, and I know that its the right time.

I just hope that the people who have bought a copy, browsed or read the magazine liked the way it looked.

And I’m deeply touched that our contributing editor felt sad (unlike other people. Ay, bitter?) upon getting the news that I was leaving. She talked to me pa and wished me well. It was more than what I hoped for, and it came from the person I least expected to do it. Basta, sobrang touched ako sa gesture na yun! That’s the hardest part of getting a new job is leaving the people in your (soon-to-be) old office behind.

And I will miss these five most of all…

I am pretty sure that I won’t find another team (yes, I declare na team tayo!) as animated and wacky as this.
Nina (my (sperm-donated) office child) and Gela cannot function without coffee, they shriek when they see cute stuff, books and boys (just like me), and without them, I swear hindi matatapos ang Lonely Planet. No joke. For a year, Capricorns ruled that magazine. Truth.
Nigel, the other boy in the office, our all around photographer, my iPhone buddy; may utang ka pa sa aking mala-Lookbook na photo. Picturan mo ko pagnakuha mo ang bagong Nikon camera mo na sobrang mura.
The first boy is Nino, not in photo, thank God, whom I must admit I will also miss (and I feel that I will regret that statement after publishing this post, but I will fight the urge to not delete it). He’s our resident technician and manyak, and is labelled as my work husband, unfortunately. I’ve been denying it since the birth of that label and will continue to deny it til the die. The word “Fooooooo!” and “Hard Gay” will forever be connected to you. Hinihintay ko pa din regalo mong iPhone at bahay sa Forbes.
Jonelle, my same-tayo-ng-dream officemate: balang araw matutupad din natin yun! Save a lunch til dinner date for me. Every other month yan ha.
And to Karla, ikaw na ang may picture with Steph, ikaw na. Lech. Bonded for life tayo dun sa ating first ever vacation together. Hihintayin ko ang araw na pagpa-practisan mo ang blog ko. At naniniwala akong magiging groom ka din balang araw. Haha! Kadtuan ta guid ka sa Davao. Hulat lang.

Wala nang burst into song and dance number na parang nasa disco lang…

No, hindi ako naluluha noh. Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom.
