I've had enough share of farewells the past week. Ready for a finale ride?

Heroes
The extraordinary NBC series aired its season finale last Monday, May 21st (9/8c), but I got to watch it the next day pa. Ay, hindi pala, Wednesday morning na 'yun e. Special thanks to YouTube and to the 24-hour internet shop here in our place. The episode was very touching, at hindi masyadong bitin. Just enough to get you hooked up for the next season. How hooked? It had a glimpse of how Volume 2 will start out. Episode highlights: The Peter-Sylar duel of course. (You're the villain now. I'm the hero). How the Nikki-Jessica subplot got closure, or at least some sort of self-redemption. And am I the only one who loved Molly and Micah together? The brotherly love of Peter and Nathan resolved the conflict for the season. E next season kaya? By the way, this show will have a fall spin-off, "Heroes: Origins." Some of the cast for the spinoff will then be chosen to be a part of the next season. Kudos to Tim Kring, Greg Beeman, and the entire Heroes cast and crew. Does this means we will be seeing less of Adrian Pasdar, Milo Ventimiglia, and Santiago Cabrera? Hindi siguro... But I'd be looking forward to another season of Ali Larter, Masi Oka, and Hayden Panettiere.

Maging Sino Ka Man
Another must-see ending that capped the week off, (it's how they called it), is that of Maging Sino Ka Man. And would you believe na hindi ko pa siya napapanood? Tanga ko talaga! I've heard news about how it ended though. Rumor has it, and proved it: the series is slated for Book 2. And to join the cast: Phillip Salvador, Angelica Panganiban, and Rosanna Roces. I could have guessed that it'd be a happy ending. For one thing, they won't do it to John Lloyd and Bea, and also since it's set to have comeback. Sana kasing-ganda at kasing-exciting siya ng Book1. And I doubt if Angelica could be at par with Bea and Anne's acting prowess.

Let's Go
Yet another finale that I chanced upon (buti na lang I did dahil final episode na pala 'yun), is the last episode of the weekend comedy "Let's Go." Saan ang gimik na barkada? Sa Enchanted Kingdom. Why they are reminiscing on the past three (?) seasons, I had my own reminiscing while watching, as EK has been, and will always be, a memorable place for me. Anyway, nakakabitin ang finale. Parang, just for the sake of ending it. And I can't believe they did this to give way to another Kim-Gerald project. A teenager's life is not always about love teams, you know. Had it been, sana naging syota ko si *** saka si *** saka si ***. Pero hindi. Hindi! Hindeeeeee!!! Uhm, congrats by the way to the Let's Go kada.

at saka...
Enough of the boob tube. I was surprised I'd experience some real-life chapter endings. Saturday morning, nilapitan ako ni TL Nenejoy. "Malilipat ka na kay Kiko." I was dumbfounded. I love TokNene so much. Well, yeah, you might say I easily get attached. Sa team ni Allan ganun din ako. I guess ang fear ko lang talaga e yun maalis sa comfort crowd ko and start a new one. Perhaps, of fear that it might not be a comfortable one. A ewan. Basta nalungkot ako dahil it'd be my last few days with the team. I asked TL Ne, "wala na bang ibang paraan?" {I'm sorry I can't disclose the real reason yet. Sa account namin, nakamamatay ang tsismis. One tiny thing could be a big deal. Ayoko maging issue.) And don't get me wrong. Kiko, our Senior Team Lead, is one of the best. And there was a time sa shift bid na sana siya maging TL ko. May topak din kasi 'yun. Hehehehe!

Of course you could say, "you'd still see them, right?" But no. It's different. Iba kapag team mo. May mga lakad sila na hindi na ako "officially" involved. May mga inner talks na hindi na ako kasali. May mga exclusive jokes na hindi na ako makaka-relate. Kada team kasi, may isang kultura 'yan. I could say I'm lucky na masasaya 'yun mga tao sa team na napupuntahan ko. I asked her again kung sino 'yun mga makakasama ko dun. "'Yun mga bago..." By that, she meant the newbies na on-training ngayon. Weeks ago, si Dem, one of the few that I consider as "ate" sa office, got promoted as Training Assistant. Which I don't understand kasi she's the sole trainer for our account right now, so that makes her "the" trainer, not an assistant. So anyway, nawalan ako ng taong palaging kasama sa office. Nag-resign pa 'yun isa kong nakakasama minsan, si Shey. Hay nako, the past few days had been full of goodbyes. Anyway, 'yun mga trainees ni Dem ang mga makakasama ko sa bagong team. Good luck talaga. I got a chance to meet those people, epal kasi ako sa training. One of them is even a good friend from BestBuy, si Lequi. Again, siguro ang kinakalungkot ko lang e maiiwan ko 'yun mga taong kasama ko sa team for a long time. Kapareho ko sila palagi ng shift saka off, madalas kainuman after last-shift (oo, umiinom ako, may angal?).

I've had enough of endings for a week. This week, naka-leave ako for almost the entire week. Pagbalik ko, June na. I'm thinking the new changes would kick in. Tomorrow morning, magbabayad na ako sa school para sa enrollment. By June 13th, classes will start. Kung ang buhay ko ay isang youth-oriented show, pucha ang corny ko siguro. Joke! No, what I mean is, had my life been a show, or a series, new faces would be seen as I get to mingle with new teammates and blockmates. Good luck, young master.

Newbies ang ilan sa mga makakasama ko sa team. Tapos, younger batch pa yun makakasama ko sa college. It's your dream come true, dude! Kuya ka na!
