I just realized this is my first post for 2026! I got caught up in the winding down of my work and planning for my big 6-0 bash last February. But all that came to pass now. And I am officially a Senior Citizen, Retired corporate slave as well!
It’s April 5, Easter Sunday, Pasko ng Muling Pagkabuhay!
And that’s exactly how I feel - newly resurrected! Alive again, beginning a new chapter of my life. I turned 60 end-Feb and threw this big party! Just because… HAHAHA All that in another post. But truly my corporate life ended last March 26, Thursday, as I said goodbye to the office of 9.5 years. I flew to Taipei the day after, and stayed there till March 31, alone! So I don’t really consider that as start of my retirement.
Then it was Holy Week in Manila until today. And I decided that I was going to travel to the beach house this afternoon (against the tide of the travelers returning to Manila!). And true enough, there was this huge traffic on the opposite side of the road, especially going into SBMA. It took me just 3hrs and 20mins to get here, a new record!
I got here in time to enjoy the perfect sunset, the fitting “Welcome to Retirement, CC!” Banner.
I’ll have more time to write about this new chapter of my life. I am excited as I still feel young. And there is still so much more to do and experience!
