Yesterday felt like the last day of the school summer break. On one hand you feel excited. You pick out what you'll wear the next day and make sure that everything is ready. On the other hand, something gnaws at you. You worry unnecessarily and can't sleep as soundly.
And then today comes. The day you've been expecting. The same one you've been dreading. After all, what happens today can make or break you. You walk through the door, and you're finally in. Yet as the day advances, you realize you've never felt more out.
After a while, I decided to take a short break to escape the cold in the office. I stepped out of the building, and decided to draft this entry out here in the sun. Sweating in this suit. Trying to catch even just the tail end of the summer that I now so desperately miss.

The summer knows/ The summer's wise
She sees the doubt/ Within your eyes
And so she takes/ Her summer time
Tells the moon to wait/ And the sun to linger
Twists the world/ Round her summer finger
Lets you see/ The wonder of it all
And if you learned/ Your lesson well
There's little more/ For her to tell
One last caress/ It's time to dress
For Fall
good luck sa new job and i hope youll be happy sa new job and new environment
god bless sean!!

@rudeboy: that's a great song! and so fitting for what i feel right now. i've never heard of it before, so thanks rudie for introducing it to me. barbra or laura? :)
@lonewolf: thanks papa milch for the positive words. :)
@jj roa rodriguez: thanks for the tip jj. yeah i should give myself time to adjust and engaging in fun things will also help. :)
There's this magic about transition that is just tricky to capture with words, kuya sean, no? :)
That feeling -- like everyone else is looking at you. Good luck kuya. :)
So Sean, what would you rather have? First Day or Monday blues?
@ Sean : It's one of my all-time favorites, and seemed perfect for this post. Glad you liked it enough to Google it, apparently.
Laura Fygi, of course ; no offense to Babs, but I find Fygi's voice more...haunting. Babs just seems to be showing off all the time to me, voice like buttah or not.
And Michel Legrand is underrated ;)
The difference between the first day of school and first day of job is that with school, you most likely know the people around you. While at work, you know, that your first day might also be the last.
Godspeed Sean! :)
To sweet beginnings and bitter endings. In coffee city, we borrowed heaven.
it never fails to amaze me how some people's lives are lead in the enigmatic play of words...
Goodluck on your first day of work, Seannie! Rock it real good! :)
I hate first days, I always feel nauseous, like I'm going to throw up anytime. I hope you do much better at first times though..I know you will! Good luck Sean!
Nice! Hope you have a good one! So far, my first days were spent doing nothing. (:
@spiral prince: yeah there is. then there are people like michel legrand (rudie's song above) who are able to capture it perfectly. :)
@the green breaker: exactly, gb! thank you :)
@bien: i'll tell you again on Monday :)
@rudeboy: i'm not surprised. it really is a good song. i too find laura's version more haunting, and it's now in my ipod playlist :) gotta find more of his songs!
@mugen: yeah, i felt lonely my first week. and good thing i've lasted that long. thanks mugs! :)
@citybuoy: i realized i've missed out on a lot of good songs. they don't play good english songs on the radio here. love this as well and it's now part of my playlist :)
@kiks: aww, thanks kiks. :)
@k: thanks a lot, k! :)
@zai: hey i'm just like you. i've been taking the local version of kremil-s haha! thanks zai :)
