Seriously, with friendships it takes two to tango. Kelangan mo rin mag-effort. If you really don't take time to keep in touch with friends from your former workplace, eh talagang magkakaroon ng distance. (Only certain kinds of really long-time friends can stand the "time and distance test." Yun yung tipong months kayong di nagkikita, pero pag magkita, parang kahapon lang huli kayong nagsama. Those are rare. I'm blessed to have around 3 of them.) So choose your friends wisely. Keep making friends, but always be on the lookout for the quality ones. And when you choose, you also do your part. (Notice how I didn't even dwell on your financial situation? It does affect your relationships, but is ultimately something that can easily be transcended. Besides, nagagawan din ng paraan ang pera.)
naiintindihan ko yung point nila tungkol sa individual performance ko. pero ang nakakasama ng loob is yung parang hindi man lang nila nakita o na-appreciate kung gaano kalaki ang impact ko sa anim na bottom performers na ipinahawak nila sa akin instead na sila ang trumabaho. nakakapanlumo ng loob na matapos ng extended office hours (na unpaid!), samu't saring suggestions to improve the operations, at lahat ng efforts at sacrifices ko para sa opisina, it went down to the drain just like that. pero, kung ganun talaga ang sistema ng palakad nila, wala naman akong magagawa eh. trabahador lang ako. hindi ako boss. wala akong karapatang umangal sa anumang desisyon nila at ang tanging responsibilidad ko lang ay sundin ang ipinag-uutos nila, maluwag man o labag ito sa kalooban ko.
