yan

It made me remembered how you made me enter photography when I was 14 (or 15). You were the one who taught me not to be shy when covering events. You told me it was okay because we have the right to do such. You brought me to places which I've never been before. You invited me to walk along the outskirts of Uyanguren so I won't get lost again next time (but unfortunately, I still do). When we weren't very close yet, you have shared to me some of your problems and I was happy to know that you trust me very well. We have shared a lot of moments together. We shared smiles and laughters but we never shared tears, which was good. You showed me how I should handle my life. You told me to just smile even if things go wrong and yeah, it did help. You taught me to be friendly. You became more than a friend to me, more of like a big brother. Even at this moment, every time I think about you, I can clearly hear your laughter and your voice talking to me, "ui, Danielle!" I miss you calling me Danielle. I miss you smiling at me every time we see each other. I miss you stopping in front of me every time we meet each other along the corridor just to check if I was doing my job well. I miss your stories. I miss hearing your problems. I miss everything about you. And on the day that we have finally separated, I could still remember on how pissed you were when your mom told you to get a driver's license even if you don't know how to drive yet and how you hate your passport picture. On that last day, I could remember that you told me to take care of everything, to take care of what we have started and to continue it well. You reminded me to just smile always. You told me that if something goes wrong, it'll always be okay in the end, like what we have experienced in the past. We were in the MTS that afternoon and the sun started to go down. I almost cried as you held me close to say goodbye. Right now, you are again back to where you have spent your life for the past four years. I don't know when I'll be seeing you again but I hope we do and I know we will. Thank you so much for everything yan. Wala lang, naalala lang kita. haha. You will always be my photography Prince :P
