pantry girls

i read a blog entry from caths wherein they listed some signs that they miss me. i was crying and laughing at the same time while i'm reading it. i miss my gurls!!!

we were a crazy bunch at the office, and not many people could understand the way we think and connect. just one look, matatawa na kami. isang word lang, kung anu-ano na ang mapapag-usapan.

i think ang fave place namin sa office is the pantry. marami kaming chismis na pinag-usapan don, maraming jokes ang naimbento, maraming officemates ang napagtrip-an namin (kukuha lang ng tubig, isasama na namin sa aming "insightful" discussions)... and kahit minsan, wala masyadong happenings sa break time namin sa pantry, just sitting there with them relieves my stress from work. i could go on ranting about my workload, about my counterparts and about anything unpleasant... they will attentively listen and try to cheer me up. minsan batuhan lang kami ng reklamo, and even though we don't come up with any solution, we come out of the pantry with a smile.

somehow, i've associated the pantry with my comfort zone, my place of rest and solace. a place where i could let my guard down, because im surrounded by caring individuals. who would think that a pantry is the best place to nurture friendships?

i miss hearing them ask me "let's break?", which actually means "let's take a break?". email, YM at ang kisap-matang netsend... or minsan, susulpot na lang sila sa area ko, holding a mug or Sol-Anne/TopDog/concessionaire food. break time is always something to look forward to.

i've had so many good memories with these girls, but the ones that will forever stick to my mind are those ordinary pantry days.

downna, caths and maricoru, let's break? =)
