There’s no pizza involved with the speech delivery per se, it just so happens that the day I delivered this speech was also me and my teammates’ (from Manila) last day in the Cebu branch office, so our bosses gave us a pizza treat as a farewell party of some sort. Hope that clears up the confusion

@Ryan: why yes, I was in GAR mode that time haha.

oh I thought about the ‘easy love’ vs. ‘hard/draining love’ too. Whether one love would be cheapened by the other one would depend on the basis for the decision (or whatever you did before reaching that decision), I guess. Like, if you chose the ‘easy way out’ simply to escape from the difficult path, or if the decision was so easy that you didn’t even have struggle to come up with the decision!

Ideally though, no cheapening would happen, because every experience would simply add up to the next. One love might not work out but you’d look back at it with fondness (albeit bittersweet), as it allowed you to grow. Treasure each and every experience~

@jen: get into jdramas, jpop or animes so you can be all the more inspired! Learning another language becomes more fun when at least a bit of your hobbies are intertwined with it too ^^

@NGP: I’m not exactly BAWWWING at my imperfect grammar. I’m happy that it’s imperfect because that’d mean ‘room for improvements’!

You should really really detach yourself from comments. Writing the post and sharing it to the whole world should be enough to fill you with joy in blogging! Ideally speaking of course, I fail in that many times too, still trying…!

@maAkusutipen: the nihongo speech is only for our new department, so if that, and the fact that our headquarters is in Cebu are a match, then you’re guess is most likely correct

None of our Japanese corrected my ’shaky’ grammar too, because that’s not really the point of the speech lol. And yes, this is basically a reiteration of what I said in my H&C post

@Marigold Ran: You… can’t be serious, right?

@Shance: thanks. I think Marigold Ran is being sarcastic though, unless that was mean to be a sarcastic reply as well lool.

@2DT: Not that thick-skinned / gutsy enough to do that, unfortunately

And I hope you really did say “LISTEN TO MY SPEECH” before you started. That would be just perfect.

As for the previous commenter’s question, Nihongo = the term for Japanese language.

It was a nice read. You really like the concept “letting go”. As I recall you wrote about it in the past, right? If I am not mistaken the Japanese also has a peculiar consciousness for transient things right? I just forgot the word though.

I have an idea where because of the nihongo speech thing and all..

If I guess correctly you probably were a superior or something of mine there when I was working there. hehehee..
Haven’t really read your speech yet but will now… hehehe

It’s not being a perfectionist with my writing that prevents me from ragequitting that I only got one comment on my Ponyo post!

At least you can make memes at all, whereas mine never catch on! I need to let go, and fast!
