Goodbyes

This is the day that will end the year 2007. This year will finally say goodbye but where shall it go? Does a year die and journey to a next life just like humans? Or does it just stay in our memories forever? This year has been a year of goodbyes for me.

This is the year I said goodbye to my high school life. I graduated from high school last March.
This is the year I said goodbye to the high school friends, classmates, and batchmates I shared my happiness and sadness with.
This is the year I said goodbye to my high school teachers who imparted a lot of knowledge and wisdom I needed to survive life.
This is the year I said goodbye to my alma mater where I spent 9 years of my life.
This is the year I said goodbye to my family as I leave for Katipunan to study in college.
This is the year I said goodbye to Dagupan and Calasiao where I grew up.
This is the year I said goodbye to curfews, household chores, and parental supervision. (haha. Well, not really.)
This is the year I said goodbye to singlehood and finally gave my heart to a "fried chicken".

With all these goodbyes came all the hellos, too!

This is the year I said hello to my college life.
This is the year I said hello to new friends in college where some of them already hold a special place in my heart. I won't mention their names because they already know who they are. =D
This is the year I said hello to new professors who will make my college experience hard but fruitful in the end.
This is the year I said hello to my new school and new home (hopefully) for the next four years.
This is the year I said hello to my roommates and orgmates whom I consider as my new family.
This is the year I said hello to my dorm where I will live while studying in the Ateneo.
This is the year I said hello to more freedom and less parental supervision. (haha. But then again, not really.)
This is the year I said hello to a relationship that I pray will last for a lifetime if not forever.
*****************
I spent this last day of the year with my Karlo. I'll miss him so much. He will go back to Baguio this January 2 because their classes will resume the next day. This christmas break, we almost saw each other every other day. We went out last December 24, 26, 28 and 31. I so much miss him. *sigh*
*****************
Geez, classes start on January 7. Argh! Back to school, back to hell! Goodbye comfy outfits and hello dress code!
*****************
Blessings I received this year:
January - I passed almost all the college entrance tests I took except for UP.
February - He tied my shoelaces. haha.
He danced with me in our last prom.
March - I graduated from high school (is that really a blessing?)
I received the "perfect attendance" award during graduation. haha.
April - We became closer friends even if he already knew about it.
Precious moments were spent with my high school classmates and
friends.
May - Just like in April.
I started to meet potential friends through the net and some of them
became my blockmates!
June - My college life started. (Is this really considered a blessing? Oh well!)
July - I celebrated my 17th birthday and I gave my heart to Karlo (cheesy?mushy? corny? Who cares? =P haha)
Anna and I went to Baguio
August - I love chocolates! M&Ms, kisses, toblerones, twix, cadbury...
September - Hmm, can't think of something.
October - My first sembreak! Yay!
November - Hmm, I can't also think of something.
December - My first christmas as a college student and with my Karlo.
Unfortunately, this is the first christmas I didn't feel the christmas
spirit at all.
*****************
Have a super happy new year. I hope that 2008 has a lot of good surprises in store for all of us! Enjoy the last day of 2007 and the first day of 2008! Start the year with a prayer! God bless us all!
