Square One
And so, today marks the completion of one circle.
If I may interject with a little Physics, my displacement as measured by a point I went to in December 25, 2003 amounts to a grand total of ZERO! By any standards of mine, that’s one heck of an accomplishment (apart from repeating the feat the other way in July 2004?). Oh well, no biggie after all. After all, I saw this coming for a very long while now. As endgame draws near, history repeats itself the way I anticipated it to be (with the usual inaccuracies inherent in my predictions).
Of course, there are subtle differences this time. Hopefully, I have my priorities in the right order and I know what I’m doing although my heart is not of one accord with my mind. The same country but not the same location (yep, no blue and yellow this time around) and I got the same status again (many thanks to MOE!). Heck, the company’s gonna be a little different too.
Nevertheless, there are a few good things to look for. The optimism is slightly forced, since there’s plenty of the usual stuff we can look forward to but rest assured, some bits of it are genuine. 
Time for reunion of sorts.
All right, here we go. Annie Lenox’s Into The West would be a good song for this situation, just that we’re going to a place much much smaller and less grander than Valinor. We’re going South, the only expanse of water being crossed is a small strait and we’re going to a puny island. Ok, better stop before this degenerates into nitpicking and fatalism. See you on the other side!
P.S.: This would make it seem much less dramatic, but I’m only going down for about a week at most. As such, this is only a pre-taster of sorts. However, there’s no denying it. We’re all almost there anyway.
