Goodbye

Graduation is an ending yet endings are beginnings of something beautiful.


In life, there are always hellos and goodbyes. There are beginnings and endings. But what matters most is what happen between them. Between them is when you experience the joy of love, the pain of separation, the difficulty of struggles, the crisp of meaningful laughters, the sorrow of tears.


Between them is when you discover yourself, when you know what you can do and what you want to be. Between them is a life solely your own, a life nurtured by your experiences and exposures, a life moulded by your joys and pains.


Obstacles are many; roadblocks are everywhere. And the essence of life is not trying to overcome them but facing them as challenges along the way. They teach us lessons found not from books. What they give us is wisdom, and this is life-long.


Today, you are at the crossroads of your journey. What paths you may take will make the difference in your life. And how you choose your paths depends on the values and wisdom you learned through the years. Choose well. Your life depends on the choices you make. You are what your choices dictate you.


You are a gift. And as for every gift, you are precious and cherished. May the days and years we have shared together remind you that you are special.


This goodbye is only to let go of the pain of being separated with you. But with it is a prayer of love, success, health and happiness.


I may not be with you but my love for you will always be.

There are so many things about life that we need to know. So many things to take notice of, so many things to explore and discover. Ahh, there is just so much around. All we need is to take a look and be part of it. Life is amazing. There may be moments of dread, of misery, of difficulties. Yet, undeniably, there are moments to be happy about, to be grateful, to treasure. I am a product of that balance. And with it I look at my life as something unbelievably amazing. These pages will tell you why. Enter my world. And the world is a place where we can discover what life really is. Welcome.

Moment

Stupid! That was how my mathematics teacher called me once during my senior year in high school. I was in front of the class, on the board, having answered incorrectly a math problem he said was easy. Stunned and stupefied, I could not remember how long have I stood there. I thought my legs kept me from moving, when so many eyes were upon me, I was enveloped with embarrassment and numbness. After the class, I declined to have my lunch, afraid that my classmates would poke fun at me. And yes they did, behind me (which i would learn later). That was the turning point of my life with mathematics. I really could not blame my teacher. Mathematics was something I detest then, and it was my waterloo. But that unfortunate incident, it dawned upon me that I better put myself together and redeem myself. Not to prove to my teacher that I am what he thinks I am, I embarked on a journey. And this I did with mathematics as company. Years later, I earned my degree in mathematics. When it came to my t...
