14 years after...

It's been 14 years... lots of things happened, everything has changed.

1997 was the year I graduated from high school. Mixed emotions felt while looking back at the old days -- clueless? happiness? sadness? memoirs? That feeling is unknown. While reminiscing those things, I started asking myself "What did I do in the past?, Am I a better person right now?"

My high school life is not as exciting as the others. I can actually say that it was quite boring. Back then I was the kind of timid person, very silent in class, no friends at all. My world -- school, home and farm. A hardworking student and an obedient daughter. Only talk when needed or when people asked questions.Although there are some close friends, they have their own barkada. I have two cousins who have been my mate since first year, they are not that close to me but we've been together until we finished high school. Yeah! they were close and I have my own world. That time, I was a nerdy type of person, loner most of the time. My parents were strict. They didn't allow me to spend much time going anywhere. I still remember the words of my mom when she told me "Study first! then when you are finished you can do whatever you wanted". That thought kept on my mind. Well aside from that, I don't have money to spend with, and my only choice is to keep on moving and do the best that I can in my studies.

Because of being shy, I am not active in any school clubs, well except for one -- mathematics. I only participated in school occasions when necessary. When I graduated, I ranked 9 among the class, that's one thing I can be proud of.

Years has passed... After I graduated I went to college and got jobs afterwards. I spent most of my time travelling, and nobody can restrict me in whatever I do. I have money, not lots but enough for something to spend and save.

Everything has changed, most of my classmates already have family. My high school crush I heard already have a family of his own.

Although my Mr. Right isn't here yet, I'm still hoping that everything will come at right time at the right place and for the right reason. I will carry all my sufferings back then as memory that make me stronger right now.
