People may not call or see you but I'm sure there is always a time that they think and remember you. Every person we meet leaves a mark in our lives. It's true that it's hard to leave memories behind. But memories are not stored in pictures or actual landmarks. These things or places may eventually perish. But the memories remain in the hearts and minds of the people who experienced them. Baon nila yun pag alis nila. And if you think nkakalimutan ka na nila, kaw na yung mag reach out. :9enricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229878977212829623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477081438559630011.post-87408923605249693672008-07-09T01:24:00.000+10:002008-07-09T01:24:00.000+10:00cobe: well good for you dude. probably, its just i...cobe: well good for you dude. probably, its just inate for people to fancy or desire things outside what s/he is currently at. in addition, probably man is indeed uncontended by nature. <BR/>or its just really the circumstance that pushes one to do so.<BR/><BR/>niel: i promise...wala talaga...<BR/><BR/>dabo: siguro nga leaving is a fact that we need to start accepting. it is an evitable thing anchored with change and our perpetual quest for development. <BR/>i must agree. people should not always carry out the reason of money in leaving. but probably like any other event in our lives. there will come a point that we'll be faced with the reality of practicality over principle. <BR/>i just hate it whenever i realize all of these after reading your comments guys. but don't get me wrong i really appreciate it.<BR/>don't you consider being a historian as well, kuya dabo?<BR/><BR/>mel: oo nga pero in a way it indeed justify selfishness. hahaha.<BR/> <BR/>amicus: hmmm. thats actually another good thing to look at it. hahaha. naku, amicus, hidni pa man tayo nakakapag organisa, nalusaw na agad tayo ng poea at ng gobyerno.. hehehe. <BR/><BR/>novasan: i am actually expecting that comment from you, nova and i am indeed recognizing that fact in me. probably, its just this behavior how people to tend to look for reasons and things to associate their frustrations toward the nearest factor possible to justify an emotion. nonetheless, you are absolutely correct its a matter of respecting and at most supporting whatever decision one will take, especially if its someone near to your heart. <BR/><BR/>keitaro: Isa pa, there are no goodbyes.

Lucky if they left footprints in our hearts.. and they usually do.<BR/><BR/>Anyway those who go away for reason of money alone should not lash out our country.<BR/><BR/>If ever they lived or work abroad, make sure they speak highly of our history.. how the young and the old die fighting for Manila, Bataan or Corregidor.<BR/><BR/>I think imagining Philippines being rape during the necessary but unwanted foreign occupations, blood shedding, arms and heads being amputated, hearts and souls falling to knees while staring at sky are enough reasons why we should be proud being Filipinos..

I tend to want to hold on to people for as long as I can, and I hurt badly whenever I feel as though I have been left. But everyone has their own life to live, and we have to respect the paths that people choose. As for the Philippines... I wish I could go back! If money were no factor, I'd be back in a heartbeat. All my immediate family is there - I am the only one here in the States, and it's extremely lonely.<BR/><BR/>I have found that most people that leave there do eventually come back.

I can't. I just can't. Some of my friends too are in other countries and they are loving it there. <BR/><BR/>Sad as it may seem, we can't help but be happy for them because they are fulfilling their personal goals.
