Last August, Edmund or mon, my Convergy's co-worker, flew to Chicago to stay there for good since his wife was a registered nurse and they had a good opportunity to go there without any difficulty of convincing the US Embassy to entrust them a US Visa. Then, Last Sunday, October 12, Elgene, my highschool and drinking buddy, invited us on his "despedida" party because he also decided to go to San Diego to seek better opportunity.... we had fun and we had a semi-reunion that time. And then Just this very moment, Madel, mads, or "madeldel", also held her despedida party here in Angeles City because she will be going to Ontario, Canada because her family decided to migrate there....

I really cannot describe the feeling of "someone" close to you will now be "out-of-reach". It's not the same thing when I decided to go to Baguio and sacrificed not to see my friends for a long time. Baguio is just a 5-7 hours away from Angeles City. America is 13 hours away... through Airways...

What I am pointing out is that, people tends to go to other countries to seek fortunes, better living, which they won't achieved by staying in this country. We just have to face the reality that you really have to leave you love-ones because it is no longer possible for you to reach the life that dreamt of when you were youg by staying here... The Economy, politics, society, poverty, and alot more...

Next year, Mary Ann will be leaving for japan.. Emill, my bestfriend, is also planning to got to Japan. by December, Sheryl will be going to Dubai too. Not to forgot my sister, whose now in Paris. And me, I'm open to any possibilities of going abroad, but I would like to stay here as much as possible, hoping that everything would change.....

No more talk of darkness, forget these wide eyed fears,
I’m here, nothing can harm you,
My words will warm and calm you,

Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears,
I’m here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you

All I ask is every waking moment,
Turn my head with talk of summertime,
Say you need me with you now and always,
Promise me, that all you say is true,
That’s all I ask of you.

Let me be your shelter, let me be your light,
You’re safe, no one will find you,
Your fears are far behind you.

All we need is freedom, a world that’s warm and bright
And you, always beside me,
To hold me and to hide me.

Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime,
Let me lead you from your solitude,
Say you need me with you here beside you,
Anywhere, you go let me go too
That’s all I ask of you

Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me each night each morning
Say you feel the way I do
That’s all I ask of you

Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me, that’s all I ask of you
