CONSTANTLY CHANGING...5 YEARS!


This will be another big day for me. Another day that i will never ever forget in my whole life. I still remember, i've weeped not just only a pail of tears but drum-full of it. I can't imagine that up to the airport untill the time the airplane had just take-off still my tears keep on falling. My last words were: "I don't know when i'm going back home again, but i know i will see you all again. No matter what happened."

So much have changed, too much. For 5 years, everybody are making the most of their lives now. Others were success of their careers, others had been married and now building their own family, others aren't that still fortunate enough to find a good life but still striving hard to get one. We have grown a lot from the past years. Time flies that you did not even notice what could have been changed untill somebody noticed it.

We were always happy. Everyday of our lives, the time we spent together. We have grown and have known each and every character we had. We fight, we argue, we hated each other but still the neverending love and support was still there. Miles and miles away, but i can feel all the affection deep in my heart. All those concerns, even if we do not chat or talk that very often. But when i hear those voices, it goes deep through my vains and feel it deep within me. How much i miss all of those happenings we have had, from our childhood days untill the moment i have left all of you. That i could not imagine after all those years, i am the one who will leave. I'm sorry for leaving guys, but you all know that even we're far from each other i always carry each of you in my heart. And never will, i will ever forget all of you. I love you from the bottom of my heart.

Life is too short for us to live. We have to make sure that we always make the most out of it. "Live life to the fullest." For a short time of period, i've learned a lot. I have known myself for who i am and have learned to deal with other people around me. We've spent alot of trials together, too much sacrifices but in the end everything has its priceless reward. You might always be busy, but you all know how much i missed you and wanted to know atleast how you all doing now. But i am happy just to see and hear the news that your all okay and doing good in your own careers. I can't wait for the day on when i can see you all again.


We were all innocents, on the first time we've met each other. We love to talk, to run and play around the school ground. We are all curious in each and every little thing we saw. We were always seperated by the class, but after school we always get to see each other and spend some time. We make it sure that we will have to share our food and other things we possess. We watch horror films, but we make it a comdy film instead. We will buy barbeque and eat like a family. We will do every project together and will not leave anybody to fail. After we finished that last day of our almost 7years together i thought it will already end there. But no, untill to this point in time we still continue our everlasting friendship. I just love the way we care with each other inspite of the distance. Don't asked me how much i miss you, because my words will not be enough to tell you.




We all have waited for the right time to come. "Expect the unexpected." We have lost a lot in the past, but now things are coping up. Seems like destination and fate is giving it back to us. Just like we deserve it just right in time. Problems never stops, but i know everything has its reason and purpose of why they happen. Inspite of all the bad things that happened, were still a family. One thing that i am always longing for. A father's touch, care, love, words of wisdom and a father's advice that i always wanted to hear. And not only i gained a good father but also a big and wonderful second family. Im loving it! We are treated not like we are strangers but they love us just like their real family with the same blood running unto us.

I couldn't imagine how we became so close. The first time we met, its like we are both snob. But i think that was the first thing that we have in common. We get to know each other and have shared lots of our nonstop stories. We confide and trust each other soo much. We have helped and never leave each other through good times and bad times. We are really like sisters that have shared everything. We talk everything under the sun. We share the same interests all the time. We share the same thoughts and feelings. And of course, we love the camera. We were brought by our own fate here. Thanks for sharing all your wisdom to me, thanks for all the support you gave me. Thank you for all the strength you gave me all throughout. Saying thank you is not enough.

I miss grandma, i miss my lovely cousins and my cute niece and nephew. I miss the family gathering were we used to share and eat lots of foods. Sing the karaoke and dance, make some barbecue and talk about lots of things, makes jokes and laugh the whole time around. I miss everything now. The outings at the beach, spending some days at grandma's house playing cards and drinking some beer without grandpa knowing it. (when he is still alive) I miss him a lot though, so much. But i know he is happy from where and what the family have reached. I know he is always around guiding us and never stop loving us.

I have too much memories to share but this are the things that i remembered. Actually everything is still fresh on my mind and in my heart eventhough 5 years had passed. I'm really waiting for the time on when i can finally give all of you a hug.

Now, i want to thank everybody that has been a part of me within this 5 years. I would not have reach this place without the help of you. Thanks for all the prayers, for giving me lots of strenght, neverending support and love. I want to thank Him most of all. For all the blessings he have given me and for all my loved ones. For guiding me and helping me throughout my trials and obstacles. Thank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart.
