Sentiments... Sentiments... Hahaha!

Being single and unattached is something that I never complained about. I always look at the brighter side of it and it seems that I am very much contented about being one.

They say that if you're single you have a lot of time for many things. Yup I can work till midnight, which I usually do. I can discover new hobbies and interest. I can extend hours on things that I love to do. They also say that you have plenty of time for a lot of people. I've always be the first one to be picked to run errands for my family and friends, which I love, I don't complain :). I always make sure that I am on call every time my friends need me for some serious and not so serious talks. They can always count on me for some emergency malling and drinking sessions. I make time to post comments and messages for my blogger friends. I know I wouldn't be able to do these things if I am not single.

But just like anything else, there is always a disadvantage. Now that I am aging (very harsh!) I'm beginning to realize the "agony" of being single. Most of my friends are married if not are on serious relationships. I can't tug them on emergency malling or drinking sessions because they have family or partners to consider and prioritize which I very much understand. I know they want to go with me but I also know that they have to think of their own families and partners.

Just like here at the office, I'm the only one single and unattached (except for the MB Kuya Rustan who keep his girls from us). I'm usually left alone after office hours.

Here are samples of our lines every 5:45 pm:

CRIZZY: "Ma'am andyan na si Earl"
CLOUIE: "Ma'am andun na po sa Umigpaw si Rap"
CARIZ: "Mahirap sumakay hanggang 6:45 lang. Tatamaan pa sa akin si Atong"
MAMA DEL: "Nagtetext na si Lito e"
TE CONS: "Naku ang dyowa ko nakasakay na sa school bus, iniintay na kami Chloe"
MAYA: "Tams nagpasundo na ako kay Jay"/"May pasok pa ako e"
MAMA JOY: "Ta Fe una na po ako" (exactly 5:45pm on the bundy clock)
MADAM FE: "Ladies una na ko, punta pa kaming Ligtong"
KUYA TAN: "Oy uwi na, naku si Mama Joy di man lang kami inantay ni Juday"
STEVE: "Mama, uwi na ako, pasok pa"

ETO ANG LINYA KO: "Sige maiwan na naman ako, ganto talaga ang walang love life, Overtime hanggang 10:45!, pag may lovelife walang OT!"

Hahaha! I really don't mind working alone, but sometimes it is sad to be alone. Good thing there are some spirits wandering around the office hahaha!

I accept the fact that some people are meant to spend their life without someone. And I also accept the fact that I may spent my life without someone. I am happy being single and I thank my family and friends for being there when I need them. I'm grateful to my friends' partner/spouse who understand every time I would ask some bonding time with their partner/spouse's (most specially to Pareng Amiel, Jay, Kuya Ayie and Kuya Lito).

But at the end of the day, when they are all gone I must admit there is still an empty space that only a special someone can fill. But having nobody is much better than having somebody who is half yours, half there or doesn't want to be there or is there but suddenly disappears. If that's the case, it's better to be self-supporting!
