People

A couple of months from now, three important people will leave our house and this just made me sad today. Since I came here in Manila, I saw a lot of people leaving our house and until now... I'm still not used of it especially since I easily get attached with them.

When I first came here in Manila, I saw Kuya Michael leave... even though we didn't spend a lot of time together, I still felt sad seeing him go abroad then Ate Jessa, a very fun gal left the house without even saying good bye. We all saw it coming but this still didn't stop us from missing her presence in the house. Then after few months, Kuya Nomar and Kuya Rusty left because of their studies. They were replaced by three wonderful people who I thought I would never be connected with but I was dead wrong.

In my almost one year of stay here in this house, I saw a lot people go in their separate ways and it's sad to think that maybe on their way to reach their dream you came a long and both of you walk on the same road but eventually you two have to take different roads and then this leave you hoping that hopefully one day, you two will meet again.

It hurts to see them go but I don't have any choice but to let go of them. I remember the first time they stepped in this house. They were strangers and I know so little about them. Their first week here went well, I got to know them and see what kind of people they are. There might some issues that arise during their stay but that made the new family stronger. When they came here, one of my Manila family moved out and we were in process of getting used of not seeing him around the house and these three people made it a little easier for us.

I know things from now on will not be the same anymore since they seem to distant themselves from us already. I don't know if it's brought by the fact of them going away soon or if it's because we or I done something wrong to them. Whatever it is I hope it stop because there's only two months left until they'll go back in our hometown and I don't want it to be wasted.

Knowing these three people is one of the things that I won't trade to anything because they became part of who I am today. I love them and I will miss them just like the people who became my family here in Manila.

I still have at least three years till I graduate and I don't know if I still can handle seeing people leaving this place...
