Bittersweetness

(Note: Current post is bittersweet)

Two days ago, a certain hubby of mine hosted a small birthday for me (one of the fews that I ever had). He invited several buddies of ours (some from my side) and we did a pot luck style of a party. I can tell you it wasn't fancy or glamorous but honestly, I didn't really care. I was with my friends and I somehow managed to make several strangers laughed and joked with each other. Indeed, awkward averted which was a big deal for me.

Cyren was the person to thank for all this. He wanted to make sure I had a good time before he left for field work in the forest. That's where the bitter part came in. He will be gone for a while and we aren't sure when we will see each other. He's coming back at the end of January but not for too long. According to him, he's going to spend roughly a full year there? He wasn't exactly looking forward to it but I convinced him it is an opportunity to leave closer to nature which is what he always wanted.

As for me, I'm stuck with the corporate world for now. My working future is still bleak. I have no idea what I'm going to after my internship or if I will pass my internship (boss is scary, talk about it another time). I'm just trying to make the best of working life and earn some cash to spend with Cyren in the future because working life, as I have realized, sucks big time.

Well, not to end the post in a somber mood, I really did appreciate the things Cyren did for me., like the birthday party. It is the happiest day of 2014 by far. Plus, he left me with a little cutie below. I'm hugging it to sleep every now onwards.
