Thank You, RECSAM

Goodbye is not an end; it is the beginning of a new chapter. Goodbye,perhaps, is the most difficult word to say but somehow it is our ticket to another beginning. Painful it is to leave good memories behind and the wonderful people we have shared those moments with yet it is also the means to which goodbye becomes meaningful.

My dear friends, I would like to thank you for the amazing two years I have been with SEAMEO RECSAM. Definitely my life would never be the same afterwards. Life has to move on. Life has to manifest itself in who we are and what we become after all this.

Every moment with you is a moment treasured in my heart. The two years I have been with you seems like a wink in eternity yet it is a most precious gem in my chest of memories.

I have been a different person before RECSAM and I am a better person after. There are names to remember and forget. There are memories to cherish. There are faces and places. And whatever becomes of me, no matter what with my life, I will always be remembered as a Math Specialist in SEAMEO RECSAM.

Goodbye is such a sweet sorrow. And within my heart is an ocean of memories flashing before me. When the day comes that I need to look back at all the things I do in my life, my years in SEAMEO RECSAM will definitely be one among the best.

Thank you so much for the friendship. Life becomes better because of the friends we make. And when the time comes that our paths would cross again, be it soon or otherwise, the friendship will always remain as what it is now.


Please don't stop remembering. It is in remembering friends that life becomes meaningful.

Thanks

Guess that's it. There is no denying that you will leave. But what to do? Life has to move on. It may be difficult for me to see you go but you have to. Sorry that I was not able to attend your graduation blow out. I had to be with JC. They had plans and I could not afford not to be with them. Not that I do not want to be with you, you know I do. I hope you understand. Thanks for the nice words during your valedictory address. You made me cry. That was the first time I allowed myself to shed tears on commencement exercises. Not even during my time did it happen. There were still words to say. There were still unexpressed emotions to unleash. But I think there is no need to do that anymore. Time will only tell whether you will uncover the mysteries of the deepest recesses of my heart. Just let be. I am hurting. The pain pricks like there is nothing like it. It is so intense that I could not define what is not real and what is imagined. I am dying to tell you that I love you. Whateve...

How

It was already late. Sleep never wanted to disturb me from thinking. It never wanted to liberate me from the pain I was going through. I kept on thinking, thinking til I was numb. I could only feel the throbbing pain that's left after. I would have wanted to free myself from this misery. That early dose of sleep would be quite a relief. But I could not find any of that. My body was begging for some well deserved rest after a long day. Yet the day was made longer by my petty foolishness. This has been difficult for me. I know there was nothing to expect. I did not expect for your message, your email, your sms, your visit, any of that. I did not expect you to greet me on our special day. I did not expect you to show up. I did not expect you... And I expected myself to be this lonely. There was nothing I could do but to allow the tears washed the stain on my cheeks. It went down to even wash the dust that covered my neck. Til it refrained from further flowing down...the tears stopped ...
