Christmas is officially over...

Most of the people who came to visit for christmas are now gone...I didn't really hang out with any of them more than once which for me is a good thing. It's so weird living in the philippines. it reminds me of the train station in the matrix or the wood between the worlds in C.S. Lewis' Magician's nephew. This place is like a tie or a bridge between all the countries faithers are now living in and every once in a while they will stop by on their way through. So in a way i'm lucky because i've been able to see a good amount of my classmates again just by staying here but it's also hard because invariably I have to say goodbye to them as well and that's always hard.

Solution: only hang out with them once or twice because they're going to be leaving soon so there really is no point in any of it.

Manifestation of Solution: Most friendships which were good ones become lukewarm and eventually fade into memories.

Light at the End of the Tunnel:

“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear, And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
