Dear Sir Mar

Dear Sir Mar,

Here's the long, overdue farewell letter I promised to write you. The real reason why it took so long for me to write this is that I still couldn't wrap my mind around the thought that you are not my officemate anymore. It just saddens me to think that i won't be able to see you every day in the office with your most-of-the-time gloomy face. I kind of miss those times when I crack corny jokes just to make you smile. Anyway, I know we’re still good friends and that you’d still be my Ninong when I get married. Hahaha, walang bawian, um-oo ka na.

Before moving on, let me just reminisce…

I first met you on the year 2008 when I started out as an OJT at LEADS. My first impression of you was that you were this old, grumpy guy who only knew work and did not know how to have fun, much like this guy in the photo below:

 

Ipopost ko 'to kahit ang pangit ko dito. Haha. ito lang kasi yung picture ko noon na kasama ka. :)

When I first knew you were my sister’s batchmate, I could not believe it (heeheehee, peacy tayo pero totoo yan). I thought you were waaay older. HAHA

During my first year at LEADS. You were just another Sir Mar, one of the bosses, to me. I couldn’t remember the time when was it exactly that made us thisclose. But hey, I’m happy it did happen.
I think it was in Aklan (my first ati-atihan) that changed my views about you.

Yeah, my first impression of you definitely changed. HAHAHA. Fun ka naman pala kasama. :)) You talked sense naman dati pa but you even talk more sense with the influence of alcohol. :))

Hmmm, I guess the point the three of us became reallyreallyclose was when we were assigned to the same team as marketing dudes. I could say that it was during those times when I felt the work given to me was very difficult but I could also say that it was those times when I felt I was the happiest because I was working with you two.  

Yeap, I will truly be missing this car.

I especially love our brainstorming sessions where topics just come and go until it reaches a point where our combined ideas exactly fit whatever is needed for marketing.

Although it may not seem like it, I did learn a lot of things from you like the difference of a tobacco plant from palay. Oh, and I especially learned that cucurbits are not small cucumbers. HAHA. Of course there are also a lot of lessons in life (that are usually not written in books) that I have picked up from you. *wink wink*

I guess here comes the drama part..

Well, for everything that you have done for me, Sir, I deeply express my gratitude. Thank you for listening to my little ramblings about life. Thank you for keeping me sane when I was about to recklessly throw my heart away to, well, someone undeserving. Thank you for ratting me out to the bosses <insert sarcasm here>. Joke lang. HAHA.

I feel  like you are my LEADS dad, if that’s even possible.  Even though it is against my will (may ganun?) for you to leave, I do understand your reasons. Ang daya mo lang sir, naiwan ako. Ayan tuloy, mas nakakalungkot na ngayon.

I’ll surely miss our nights out. Karaoke. Tong-yang. Dad's. But I’m sure mauulit yan kahit nasa ibang company ka na sir, right?

Now, whenever I see the color orange, it reminds me of you. Hahaha, pinilit naming maging favourite color mo. I'll also miss the bawal-matulog-pag-nasa-passenger-seat training mo. I'll miss the mais-along-the-kalye stop overs at Pangasinan. I'll miss the asaran about you being the shadow and me being the pig. haha. I think hearing the word nakakayamot will also ring a bell. :)


Above all that, mamimiss ko the most is ang mag-edit ng napakagwapo mong fez. hihi. :P

Anywhooo, I wish you all the best. Good luck sa bago mong endeavour.

We miss you already!! When are going to see each other again?

Always,

Kux
