"Too Many Good-byes"

If you were fond of reading Sweet Valley Junior High series of Francine Pascal, you might get the reason why I put quotations in my title. But if you're not, okay, I'll explain. "Too Many Good-byes" is actually the title of one of the series. I've read it more than twice, and it is a very old resident in my book shelf, (I got it when I was 11 years old) together with my Nancy Drews, Harry Potters and other novels. Why am I telling you these? Because, my topic today is about good-byes..."too many good-byes".

Three weeks have passed since our graduation. All of us were afraid, my classmates and me. Yes, we were afraid to let go of each other. We were afraid to face the reality that we may not see each other next school year. We loved and respected each other. We liked each other's company. We cried of course. Although we were afraid to say good-bye that day, we were also brave enough to go one step further...one step further towards our goals and dreams.

Four days have passed too, since Mikee left for States. Well, she's one of my beloved cousin/niece. I miss her, really. It's sad and painful to say good bye to her, but we need to move on, right? Maybe, we are ocean's apart now, but I'm still grateful because we still have communication. I can still feel her presence, even if she's very far away.

Good-bye St.Scho, good-bye classmates, good-bye friends, good-bye teachers, good-bye highschool life...

Yes, there were too many good-byes but those good-byes don't mean really "good-bye" because we will see each other again. We don't know when, only time can tell, but I'm looking forward to that day...I'm looking forward to seeing them again. Maybe, when that day comes, we are all professionals and successful and even married and have our own families! Hahaha. Well, I'm really getting excited now. Hahaha. And oh, before I forget, the first thing that I will do when I see them again, I will hug them and say, "I missed you..very, very much!".

Have a great summer everyone!!!
