Last night, it came to my knowledge that a certain friend of mine will be leaving for France because he got a scholarship. I was ecstatic when I found out, and at the same time, I was annoyed because I had to find out from another friend. I think he was planning on not telling really, and that annoyed me more. We're all friends here, right? No sense hiding something from the barkada. Weird lang.

Anyways. Once again, a friend will fly away.

It happened twice already, both in highschool. (Oh the drama!)

J left mid-Junior year for the States. K,A& I were bawling our hearts out because she only told us on her last day in RP. We couldn't do anything about it, so we just accepted it, and moved on. She told us how different RP is from the US. She went home months after, but relocated to Cebu. Oh well.

K left without notice Senior year. Her greencard arrived while she was still vacationing in the US, so she never came home. We were pissed, but what the hell? The grass is greener on the other side.

I don't remember ever feeling sad after the events forementioned. It was just a one time thing, I stood up and moved on. One thing though, I never forgot my friends & kept on communicating with them even though we're living separate lives already. I believe thats an important lesson which was imparted by the situation. It's fun really, sharing experiences and learning from different perspectives.

Anyways. Back to the friend who's leaving for France. I am hoping to hear stories about France, seeing that you'll be able to experience it first-hand. I'm quite jealous, but that will never surpass the happiness I'm feeling for you, you lucky bastard.

Congratulations Kendrick Hernandez Barcena. You're finally going out of the comfort zone and seeing the world with your own eyes. Hey, sounds pretty good to me. 0have left cookies for me
