Brussels, Belgium in 5 days!

... and I still can't believe that this is really happening.

It's just that so many bad things happened this year that even until today I am surprised that something good turned out from it.

FYI, a few months ago, I learned that I won't be graduating on time. All my plans were destroyed and my dreams and goals shattered. I can't deny that 'til now, I still feel bad from what had happened.

I became traumatized from what happened earlier this year so honestly, I can't still feel the level of happiness that I am expected to be feeling right now.

So okay, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, I will be working in Microsoft EMEA - LCA as Communications Coordinator for Publications. I'll be in Belgium for 10 months (or more) and I'll leave this Friday, September 5.

First, I would to apologize to everyone for not telling about this earlier, it's just that after being accepted to Microsoft, I still had to undergo medical exams and the visa process which can still jeopardize everything. I only learned that I got accepted three weeks ago, so I had to finish all the requirements really quickly. And just last Friday, I got my visa and my flight confirmation. Lightning fast, really!

There's no doubt that everyone is right about saying that I'll have the best time of my life.I can't seem to imagine that I'll be working in one of the biggest companies in the world and I'll be doing this in Europe. Of course, there are the perks like being able to travel to different places in Europe, meeting new friends, learning new languages and cultures, and saving some decent amount of money. Of course, I am excited and happy?! Who wouldn't?!

But, I'm also nervous about everything. The idea that I'll be doing my first real job there is scary. Proving that they made the right decision on selecting me is pressure enough, but the fact that I'll be far from the physical support of my family and friends makes me feel worse.

Anyway, I just want to say that I'll definitely miss everyone! And as much as possible, I would like to talk to all of you before I leave. So, hopefully, we can plan something/anything!

And of course, I hope we can keep contact while I'm in Belgium. I'll be keeping my mobile number on roaming mode. Plus, I will still have YM and Multiply so I can still share photos and blog entries. hehe, power of telecommunications.
