"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."
-- Semisonic, "Closing Time"
Sometimes I imagine our batch as characters in a cable TV series. It would be about the lives of fifteen strangers which inevitably intersect once they are accepted as trainees for a company somewhere in Ayala.
The pilot episode would deal mainly with the experiences of the characters as they go through the struggles of the first day of work (for some it maybe the second or third first day) -- the expectations, surprises, tension, and first impressions.
The series would go on to show flashbacks of each of their pasts, revealing the experiences, the people who had a hand in shaping their character, which would explain the way they are now, and how they deal with the people and situations around them.
The show would also deal with the hardships of life at work, the blooming friendships and subtle issues, energizer bunnies and persons-who-must-not-be-named, impersonations and imaginary worlds, noteworthy lunch conversations, late night symposiums at fastfood chains (load-up mode/tipid mode) and LET LOOSE moments while having the almost-best-seat-in-town (damn those colorful TODO cushioned chairs) and coolest ambiance (oo, gusto ko ng ambiance!! ditch the 3 beers for 120! hahaahha! =p)*
Lastly, the first season finale would be about today, for today the first phase of our training ended as we started walking different paths, even though we're pretty much still on the same floor. The episode would continue on showing how this radical change comes about, and the mixed emotions that are stirred by it. A mixture of excitement, apprehension, disappointment, elation, and nostalgia hangs in the air, but is permeated by an air of necessity, since after all, work is what we came here for in the first place.
The last few minutes of the finale would be silent and slightly in slow-motion (and maybe even in black and white), showing each of the characters as they venture on the new worlds on their own, while a melodramatic song plays in the background (like Eva Cassidy's rendition of Time After Time).
umandar na naman ang kasentihan ko. hehe
