Rainy days and Sundays always get me down

Talking to myself and feeling old. Sometimes, I'd like to quit, nothing ever seems to fit. Running around, nothing to do but frown. Rainy days and Sundays always get me down.
let me borrow the lines (and change one word) from one of my favorite singers - Miss Carpenter. Sundays... I used to love this day years before. It's cartoon-all-I-want-day. But now, it's only known to me as your-weekend-is-almost-over-day :'(

And now, to make it worse, it started raining!!! Old music plays from the radio, the only vice my parents have that i surprisingly enjoy. So for the rest of this day, i'll just feast my ears on some lovely (though really, really old) tunes, a cup of coffee beside me and a stack of books that i have started reading years,months,days ago. :-)) maybe it's time my little procrastinating self finish Pride and Prejudice so i can start with Mr. Darcy's Diary.

So, okay, for now - i will let the rain sing with my pensive mood on this 3rd your-weekend-is-almost-over-day.

moving out seemed good... until now...

Since there was nothing i could do about it, i left 24F Wynsum Corportae Plaza in Ortigas Center. On February 14, i was not only spending Valentine's as a single lady, i was "alone" in my new office.
Mckinley is a nice place, this i cannot deny. But Ortigas, my home of 8 years, will always be the most beautiful place to go to work to.  <*tears*>
The first weeks, it was adjustments all over - the long commute, the new place, the people, the ambiance in the office. Everything looked odd to me. As days go by though, I realized that the trip seemed shorter going to Taguig than to Ortigas (To where if i left the house by 7.30am, i'll arrive by 9.30am!). For someone still in denial and resistance of the change, this is a really good thing.
I don't really judge people, but I do get this first-impression-register stacked behind my mind. And sometimes, my impressions are correct (and this brings me dismay most of the time). I think it's because of these that I end up expecting - which leaves me beat in the end. More often than not, expectations are not met.
This early, there are some things you discover that are not acceptable - based on values and principles. This is natural, crooked policies are everywhere. But what's surprising here is how people in position can just look beyond "tampering" and orders you to write something to make "tampering" a legal and standard SOP. >_<
But I'm not giving up this early. I can't just stand aside and let this happen. We'll see...
