Today was my last day at STEMZA. Everything went well, not according to my plan but according to my expectations.
My farewell party started around 11.30 am. I wanted to sit with my close friends, of course. But since I was the celebrated person, I had to sit with the management. Luckily yesterday we already had lunch together.
Before we ate, I had to give out my speech. According to my plan, I did not want to do so, but I prepared anyway. It wasn't much of a speech. It is more about my feelings. What I felt. I wasn't planning to cry, but I did expect that I will cry eventually. I was only at my 3rd sentence, when I could not control my feelings and tears anymore. I tried to keep on talking and sharing my feelings despite the awful sobbing. I saw my friends were not in the room, I knew they could not stand to see me cry. =(
I am a person who has a hard time crying in a public. I only cry with my husband and when I talk about my emotions and problems. But, if once I start to cry, you'll bet that I will not stop crying for quite a long time. Let's see. The "speech" that I gave out was around 11.45 am. I wasn't done crying until I reached home around 2.30 pm. Sure, there were breaks, when I ate the lunch, when I was walking towards my car etc. Every time I said goodbye and gave a hug to a friend at school, I started to cry all over again.
I think all my make-up had gone by the time I entered my car. I must look horrible. Can't wait to see the photos. They are not with me, but a friend will email to me. Soon, hopefully.
Anyway, I'm sharing a photo of the presents that I received today and yesterday. I must say, most of them really know me well. Many gave me shawls. I likeeeee... =D. As for the rest, there are purse, vase, towels, storage box, comforter, lipstick, bracelet, blouse, photo frames and Tupperware. I will treasure all of them. If any of you are reading this, thank you so much for all the 5 year-memories, good and bad.
