2007 was definitely a roller coaster ride... and a year of farewells.
January started with coping with the loss of a good friend of 4 years? It was tough, but then so many people were there for me: Char, Annika, Mat and Tot most especially. I got through it, and am learning to let go.
March was farewell to college, and all the fun times in Ateneo. I never did think I would miss the days of stress, but even that seem to bring fond memories. Most of all, it's the simple hang-outs during break time at SOM Mall, light conversations while walking and just the laughter of good friends that I reminisce the most.
July heralded the last day to helping a good friend, to hang-outs after work, emo moments in the car, staying up until late to do homework and to dinners or desserts out. It was good bye to looking forward to 5:00 pm, knowing that your car will be outside the office. It was tiring, but most of all it was fun.
October had to be the toughest farewell of all. Gar, went to a place better than anything else. He fought hard for us, and that love and courage will always keep me going. I still can't believe you're gone.
And lastly,
December...
? I don't want to think of it as a farewell yet but I'm scared it might be... You have been the best-est friend I have the past year and there are no words to describe how much I value our friendship. I hope you know that I'm trying hard to make things work, and never have I stood by anyone through so much hurt... but I am standing by you... because I know, that you are worth all this. I hope it's not farewell... but that 2008 will just be a better start.
Another year has come and in a way I'm wondering what 2008 will have in store for me.
