november 15th was arnie's last day in our office. it was his last day of case processing, buying double cheeseburger meal on first break, buying starbucks coffee after buying double cheeseburger and sleeping under his desk.
arnie, i will miss you terribly.
i will miss your kenneth cole shirt.
i will miss our hotel buffets.
i will miss your questions about ipod touch and the mac.
i will miss you asking me if your stomach is now less prominent.
i will miss our inquiries on condominiums and stock IPOs. (initial public offering)
i will miss us logging in on bloomberg just to read the quote for the day.
i will miss your infectious laughter.
i will miss your care.
i will miss how you defy the english speaking policy in the production floor.
i will miss us reciting annabel lee together.
but mostly i will just miss how we sit together and talk (and joke) about batangas and blumentritt, about hating peanut butter and raisins, about career priorities and self-fulfillment and staying true and walking when the world is too much and relationships and break-ups and weddings and churches and all the million things in life that really matter.
p.s. the above photo was taken during our company's "perk'd day" with the theme, college nostalgia. i dressed up as a nurse and arnie, as a preppy.

I'm in the office right now, it maybe out of boredom or I just miss my little sister in Sykes, I thought of searching for your blog, which you mentioned a long time ago. Grabe, I'm really touched by what you did... It's like finding a treasure out of the rubble that is google. I showed this blog to my supervisor, because he might be thinking that callcenter agents doesn't have brains nor good taste. Well, your blog proved him wrong, you chose your topic well and it's done in good taste, syempre it's about me.
Know you have a new fan... Grabe (ilang grabe na ba to?), ang galing mo pala magsulat!
Thanks Layla, this is one of the rare times that I'm very pleased with what those close to me ever did.
Miss you Layla!
