Temporary Goodbye

This post is dedicated to my good friend-slash-fellow Potterhead,

Lyssa Dimapanat

who's going to ditch me and the rest of the batch for New York!

Can you honestly believe it?

Just kidding, Lys. You'll always be in our hearts. Forever. ♥

Goodbyes hurt. Especially if that someone saying goodbye and leaving for New York for good is someone special. 

It must have sucked really bad since I don’t really cry when a friend leaves. But when I found out you were leaving, I couldn’t help it. Tears stained my face. In class. In front of my teacher.

I'm not a person of words when it comes to goodbye cause I always end up crying buckets and squealing like a retarded seal. 

There's a lot of things I want to say but could not in person. And I think the only way I could let you know was thru this blog. 

Here it goes. Prepare your tissues or whatever :) 

No? 

Don't say you haven't been warned ;)

How do I describe someone like you? Someone I haven't known that long yet it seems like we've known each other since the dawn of time? Someone who made me laugh my guts out during the BIDA meetings and campaign planning? Someone who's witty and smart remarks I'll surely miss? 

How do I describe someone like you, Lyssa Dimapanat? :|

Sama mo tol. You simply dropped the bomb na wala man lang paunang sabi. But I won't bore you (and my darling readers) to death by berating you. :) 

I don't know what to say. I've never experienced this kind of thing. Even though two of my best friends left, it was and will never be the same with you. Angela and Samantha, we're in the same city. But you, you will be in New York. New York for Christ's sake! That's like half the world away. 

I won't be seeing you soon. And that sucks. Really sucks. (Pero mas nakakabwisit pa rin yung one week before ka aalis, dun mo pa sinabi).

No more deep answers when asked inside the classroom. No more class PIO.  No more Batch Representative. No more kaharutan ni Nikko. No more Lyssa, no more you. 

It sucks knowing you're leaving and won't be coming back soon :( 

I don't want you to go. We all don't want you to go. Ang laking kawalan nun sa batch natin, ang laking kawalan sa Loyalty. But I know, if we won't let you go, that would be so selfish of us. You've wished for this for a very long time. And you got your wish. We won't deprive you of your Mom and Dad. We love you that much. :)

In a way, I find myself being happy for you. You'll be with your family soon enough. I know that's what you really want.  I know that will make you truly happy.  Kind of. ;)

I appreciate everything you told me, every time we've spent together. I feel so lucky and honored to have met you, let alone to be your friend. 

Thanks for everything, too. You may not know it but I've learned quite a lot of things from you. You've inspired me to be a better person. Yun bang GV lang lagi. You've inspired me to work hard, especially on this blog. And, you taught me to be strong. :) 

Loyalty will never be the same without you. Keep in touch, okay? Ayaw naming makalimutan mo na ang pagiging part mo ng Kiss Beh at Nerd Squad. 

Ayoko na ng dramahan kaya tatapusin ko na to. :P

"Stay beautiful, every little piece love. Don't you know you're really gonna be someone?" 

That's a line from Taylor's song, "Stay Beautiful." I want you to remember that you're beautiful, inside and out and that you're really gonna be someone. Sa totoo nga, you're someone na e. You're someone we all can look up to. You will never be that random face in the yearbook. You will be remembered. :) 

So yun. Stay who you are and don't you ever change. 

Pag nagchange ka at naging biatch ka na... 

LAGOT KA SA AKIN! Trust me, susugurin kita sa New York dala ang Nerd Squad para lang sapakin ka! ^__________^

I love you, Lyssa! May your god guide you and bless you always. Spread the love. Don't forget that BATCH NI CLEM loves you and remembers everything you did. It will always be that way. 

Thanks for the memories. ♥

Sincerely, 

ME :)
