Thanks, everyone for all of your advice and comments. I appreciate all of you trying to help out, given just how bummed out i've been for the past few days. It really helps to know that i can always turn to this group for advice on life itself, not just tips and tricks for games. Quitting work right now even though i don't have anything else lined up isn't going to be too tough as i have a bit of dough saved up, enough that i should be able to survive for a few months, since i am living with a couple of my uncles at the moment. I could also head back to Ilocos if i wanted to.
Hey guys, don't be too hard on Atdsutm for his remark there. I'm quite used to his posting style at this point and i wasn't all that surprised at what he said. Quite the opposite as his words do make sense, however callously they may have come across.
People, each and every one of your comments have been given consideration. All of them were valid words of wisdom. However, the best advice came after a lengthy phone conversation with the one person who has always known me better than anyone else - my mom. "If you're not happy right now, leave your job, forget everything and come home for a while. We'll take care of you like we did before. You can worry about looking for work later." were her words. I actually started tearing up after she said that. She knew exactly just how frustrated and disappointed i was and knew just what i needed.
So that's that then, this is where my path branches off. I already finished writing my resignation letter, which i will be handing to the program manager later this week. Thirty days after that, i will say goodbye to the love-hate relationship i have with my choice of employment and go north back home to Ilocos for a month or so to sort my head out.
When i come back, a whole new chapter will begin.
RAVE - My brother went to Comicon in UP last Saturday night and brought home a copy of Pugad Baboy 21 signed by Pol Medina jr.! I've been buying his books ever since my elementary days but this is the first time one of them has been signed by the man himself.
