See Yah Later

Partners in crime. That's what we are, Aiai and I. We may not have practically grew up together, we may not be together everywhere everytime but we see to it that whenever crisis arises, we are there for each other. We rarely see each other even but that was never a hindrance for courtesy calls. :)

Catching up is never a task for us because, for those who don't know, we are literally "tabian". We grew up away from each other but everytime we have family gatherings, which are scheduled more than five times a year, we are inseparable. We go out once in a while and have what seems to be a never ending talk about stuff and during one of those talks did we realize that we are indeed not getting any younger. From "boys" to "guys", from just us to our family issues, and a whole lot more...

I never thought I'd feel this sad that she'd be leaving. Her 2 weeks vacation trip alone made me miss her knowing we'd be that far apart... How much more now that no more than 2 weeks later after she got back, she'd be leaving again? This time, for good... Honestly, I didn't know how to take it. Not that it'll make any difference. There'll be no pulling of sleeves, people. I support her decision and she knows that. It's just that, i suddenly felt we could've spent more time together and all that. For a while I kindah felt I'm losing my bestfriend. Then I realized, I'm not losing anybody. We're just growing up. :)

I still can't help but feel sad that she's leaving. Thinking of all the family affairs, most especially Christmas, without her is making it hard all the more. And i honestly can't help but cry. ( I know, I know.. We both promised there'll be no tears). But more than the sadness, I know she knows how much I support her decision. We've talked about this way too many times. Back to the days when our dreams were far too elusive. And now that hers is just a flight away, I'm happy that her dreams are one by one coming true.

Looking back, we were just young girls oblivious of what life will be like. But sitting in that corner with her, having our last coffee break, I have seen how much we both have grown. I guess I'll be missing her for awhile. Thanks to FB communication won't be as hard anymore.

As she said, no tears, no goodbyes, only "see you later". A few hours from now, she'll be stepping on that plane and chase her dreams. My prayers will be with her always. I'm gunna miss you, Ai. You know that. But I'll surely see you later. Thanks for making that first step. That makes my dreams closer than I hoped for. ;)

I wasn't planning on doing anything like this for you cuz we both were avoiding the tears. But remember what Bob Ong said? "ayos lang umiyak, hindi ibig sabihn niyan WEAK ka. sa katunayan pa nga, yan ang magpapalakas ng loob mo." So there... Let's be cheesy this one time. :)) I wasn't expecting anything cheesy, Ai, but since you started with that cheesy album description, then here's my reply.

I'm gunna miss you but I'll catch you on FB. I'm gunna miss you but please know that I'm happy for you. I'm gunna miss you but I'm confident Lloydee will take good care of you. I'm gunna miss you and the comfort you bring. I'm gunna miss you. Period. I'm gunna miss you but I'll surely see you later. ;)

I can't promise you there'll be no tears but I can promise you my all out support. I'm gunna miss you, mam. See you later! Know that even when we're that far apart, I'll still be the same Sheng you can tell e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g and a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g to.

You will surely be missed but I'll be looking forward to seeing you again... In SG! ;)

Luv yah!
