partings
wow. I have a bit of bad news, and I know this will be a shock to a lot of people because I didn't really want to say anything until plans are definite, but I guess its about time I clued everyone in to why I've been such a grump for the past while... A few months ago my dad told us that there was a possibility that he was getting transfered... to the Philippines. Last night the plans were finalized... apparently they're starting a big citibank branch there and my dad is getting promoted so he will be overseeing all systems development. Why couldn't he accept a job atleast somewhere else in the continental united states... I mean, i know that my parents wished they were closer to all of our relatives, but going all the way back home? its like a 21 hour flight not including layovers and such... I didn't want to let myself believe it, but I guess its time I faced the facts. The worst part is that he's starting his new position on June 1st of this year.. so we'll be leaving about 2 weeks prior.. that means I only have a month and a half here... no graduation.. no prom (which i was finally looking foward to)... no hanging out with friends before we go to college.. I'm still going to go to college here in the states, but during break I'll be going to my new house in the Philippines... I.... yeah... I didn't think it was really going to happen. I guess there's nothing big to keep my parents here since me and my sis are out of highschool... I always wanted to leave, but not this far... check the shoutout section below to see my other thoughts on the matter.. Oh man, here come the tears... I guess this will be goodbye soon....
