A Moment to Remember

Chapter Two: Time for a change

Another day, and without a doubt, it's same as always. Work, work and work. Lots of em' heading my way, I mean to work in a magazine company, it's not an easy task to do, especially when you're assigned to come up with new ideas on a weekly basis for the magazine. Let me give you a solid example; imagine your brain is a sponge filled with water. Everytime you go to work, all of those water are drained out throughout the day. So, yeah that's my brain alright and I am not even exaggerating.

It was just two weeks ago when we girls had fun on our day out. As people might say, 'Every beginning has its ending', so does this I suppose. So began the day where everyone has their own things to do, working to support their living just to survive. Though maybe that's just me you know. I'm always at home doing my work, trying to survive to the fittest in this modern economic world.

And well for the girls? They're like usual. They do what they want, enjoy or do something else other than working. I mean, some people just work for leisure things like vacations and materialistic things. There are also people who are born rich and buy luxurious stuff as if it's something you can get from a dollar shop. I can't say that I envy them because, I learn a lot by being somewhat... average.

About my girls, I guess you can say they managed to balance things out with their lives. Like for Lucy, she would invite me whenever she has the chance to hang out or go shopping and stuff. Girly stuff that is, you know, like manicure, pedicure, salon... you name it. Though about Kate, she's pretty much the same as I am, though maybe not much. She's able to keep things balanced between her work and leisure activities, as for me... I am quite the opposite. Yeah, you would probably have guessed it. Work. I couldn't say that I'm a workaholic but maybe that's a little bit of who I am. A workaholic that enjoys life more. Doesn't sound right, does it? I suppose that's me.

Work hasn't been much of a problem to me, I mean at first it probably was but eventually I got used to it and it became a routine. All I can say is that I am probably just bored seeing things kept on going over and over. It's like you're in an infinity loop of boredom or perhaps something like watching the television and most of the shows are on re-runs and you've seen it over dozens of time.

As much as I thought working would be fun after finishing college, boy was I wrong. It was not how I thought it would be. I mean, I used to thought schools were boring then, but to think of it. I've got lots of fun back then. Being late, going to detention for being such a troublemaker. I guess that kind of trait is stuck with me, a troublemaker for life. And how could I forget, prom night.  It was probably 10 years ago and I was 18 at that time. I wonder how everyone is.

We haven't had any reunions ever since everyone graduated. I suppose most of us went on our separated ways. Maybe some became successful and turned out to be a CEO of a big company, doctor, an engineer perhaps or some might not be so fortunate. Couldn't imagine any of them of being that, maybe mine's the worst one. I don't know, really. Though the only ones that went the same path as I did are Beth and Lucy.

After work around 6 or 7, I'd have to cook dinner for myself, though sometimes I have dinner out with the girls. And when I'm lucky, I'd just watch the television tune in a movie or whatever interest me. But sadly enough, I usually have extra work that I had to bring on home.  That's for sure. Tough to be me ain't it? No? I guess not, probably just me.

Sometimes I'd have to do it simultaneously like sitting on the sofa with a laptop at my disposal and taking breaks in between all the work. The television being tuned in as well as me taking a sip or two of my coffee, just enough to keep me awake. Sometimes when I have someone on the line, talking or the usual things like gossiping with one of the girls. It's fun to talk with them in a while, especially when there's hot or new stuff to talk about.
