Time for change

I was a bit taken aback by the amount of money that I have to shell off in order to move house. Geez, it is really expensive to move in Japan! But I have signed the contract, paid for it, submitted my request to move out from my current home - yep, I have done that this last weekend. I even took it a notch further by starting to pack the things I haven't decided to keep or not, and get them ready to be shipped back to Philippines. I still have about 3 weeks to complete my moving out checklist & moving in checklist. Thank God for the company and the type of job I have, and for the super dooper technological efficiency of Japan that I don't need to get out of my seat to be able to arrange most of the items in my list. And setting all the collateral damage aside, I'm kind of excited to change. I know 100% in my heart that this time has really come. I've tossed and turned, have waited, been indecisive and then finally one day, as if luck would have it, I forgot my key and I had to dash to T's workplace just to fetch the spare key. On my way home, I heard clearly in my head that it is time to move on. It's as if God whispered the words to me. Nerima was as good as it got - a place & time shared shortly by T&me. But there's no T&me now. And that home is now just a distant memory of the past. I knew that it was time to go.

So in this new chapter of my life that I'll be greeting in 2012, I am more confident that I can have a fresher start. I have a lot of things going for myself - new found friends, old ones who stuck by me through it all, vast opportunities @work, to try something new and a different but familiar music that I will march to moving forward.

Yes, indeed. It is my time. My time for change.
