Team Building

office had a team building - slash prayer meeting (smile) was quite touching and moving and everything else in between. reminded me of those recollections and retreat back in highschool where you just had to shed a tear or two - otherwise, hindi ka successful sa retreat na inattendan mo.

anyhoos, i am amazed at how some people can really just open up to a great big bunch of people. i know myself too well to know that i will never be an open book. i need the trust of a real relationship before somebody gets a glimpse of what i am thinking. i was never built to be an all-out-there person. probably why i will never be a politician, an actress or even a personnel officer. not really my forte, and well.. not really my cup of tea.

but i feel blessed that there are these people out there - and that these trusting souls are part of the world i revolve in right now. with people sharing what they feel and what they think, you realize that maybe perhaps you mean something to them for you to deserve hearing about what is inside their hearts and mind. quite a lot of emotions to take in - in one day.

i may not agree with some of what was said, and with how some thoughts and opinions were processed and shared, but i believe that in life it is really "to each his own". truth is relative. opinions are personal. everyone has a right to have one. and well, if i do not feel comfortable with something, i need to live with it.

the highlight of the whole exercise was getting confirmation that this is a family. certainly not perfect, but everyone working towards one common goal and everyone looking out for one another.

lucky me. not the one that sharon endorses. but really.truly.lucky.me.
