Farewell my dear employer

Leaving has never been easy. But I think leaving the second time around is harder than the first time. But life has to go on, I need to move on. There's no other way but through this.

My sincerest apologies that I have to leave. You will only learn to grow once I go away. You need to learn a very important lesson in this business. This is the best way I know to make you understand that you need to value people that are important to you. You need to learn that you have to give more than what you currently offer. Unlike the others, I have that much patience to hold on to you. Unlike them, I held on to you for more than 4 years in this relationship. They are not as strong as I am. And you need to take care of them.

We have been together through thick and thin. On the moment we first met in February 2004, I told myself that our relationship would only last for months or even weeks. And yet here we are, still together, with 3 sites and growing to more than four thousand employees. You have grown differently, but you are still the same to me.

Please don't think that I am leaving because you are not doing well in the business. It is not that, I have other things to take care of. For myself. I need to be selfish this time. I think I have given too much of myself to you already. You need to be independent of me.

I love you so much. And with this love I am parting my words. We need to grow without each other.

This is the only way.

That Witch/Bitch

Running... Long hallways.. Panting.. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

It has been months already yet I can still feel the pain it has caused me. I have all the reasons to grab that witch by the hair and pull each strand one by one while slitting her throat. But then again, I am a princess. And I will never go down to that witch's level. Never.

The memory still lingers. Probably because the chapter was not properly closed; the writer chose to end the story with 5 pages missing before the ending. And the witch won... The princess was left bleeding.

Yet she managed to get up, took the sword and led the battle. The only problem is, there was nothing to fight for. The man she loves chose to let go of her. To save her..

She fought instead the battle against anger, bitterness, and pain. And she emerged beautifully. Just like the phoenix when brought to the fire, the princess flew with much power after the excruciating experience.

And the witch wondered where the princess got her strength. Why is the princess still beautiful and strong? Why is she confident and happy? The witch was too insecure because the man she's with still longs for the princess.

One thing I know for sure, bitches/witches will never be happy in this world. Specially when they stole a man who loves someone else. The princess will always be the shadow of that witch's past. And that witch will never be happy. I guarantee it. Ooooh, sweet revenge...
