yey! I´ll finally be able to update you guys on something..
first and foremost, Norway is quite great.. hmm.. wait.. I take it back..
Norway is really really great!
The weather´s nice so far and the people are kind, but cold at times, both the person and the weather :P
The food aint really different, they have bread, rice, potatoes, steaks, meat, etc.. nothing really strange..
but anyway.. the only thing that bugs me are the prices..
to make it short, the prices of the things here and in the Philippines is the same, in terms of numbers, example, a bottle of coke is P10 and 10 Kroners.. the catch is 1 kroner = 6 Pesos.. ^^
but everything else is great..
My host family is really great.. hopefully I haven´t gotten into trouble yet..
They are happy with me so far (as far as I can tell)..
My school life, however, is CRAP.
I can only understand about a quarter of what the teacher is teaching.. (well, except for english and math) but its going to be better soon enough.. and Ive got a handful of friends to help me up.. Ive joined the local basketball team (which seem to frustrate me more because my self pounding is coming out again).. Its quite safe here too because I can bike or walk out late at night with less worry than I would have if I walked the same time back there.. but you know, come to think of it, Norway aint as different as any place in the world, in terms of people.. the same kinds of people from there are here.. the snobby, the jocks, the kind people, the nerd, the geeks, the smart, the sporty, the friendly, the weird, the talented, etc.. its all the same.. some of the faces are quite the same too.. probably has to do with migration and genetics but what the heck.. anyway.. somehow, I miss home.. I miss my old life.. and to be honest, Im quite scared what will happen when I come back.. what will I see, hear, feel, smell, taste.. everything..
Final Farewell
Mayauru the fairy lost her memory and lived alone in the forest. One day a girl happened to come by and they became friends. The girl called lots of friends and they all played happily but Mayauru wasn't human and aged slowly. The children grew up and eventually forgot about Mayauru. And then, the girl that she first met... was the only one left. But that girl grew up and wouldn't play with her anymore. Even so, the grown-up girl couldn't forget Mayauru and came back. Finally, Mayauru gave the lonely-looking girl a present. Words of farewell. Until then, people didn't know of the words of farewell. Mayauru was a farewell fairy. She'd forgotten that because it's painful to have nothing but farewells. The grown-up girl learned the words from Mayauru. And that girl who knew the words of farewell...? She became the world's kindest person. Shouldn't we just part with a smile? Sayounara.The time for farewells is finally upon me and I would bear it as happily as I could. Besides from the fact that it is inevitable, everyone knew right from the start that I am just a fleeting shadow -- just passing by;but nonetheless, they befriended me. Just like Mayauru, being an exchange student is like being a farewell fairy. First I said goodbye to my family, to my friends, to my life and went off to a land unknown. I've found myself a new family and met a lot of friends to play with, momentarily forgetting that I am a farewell fairy and that before I know it, I would be saying farewells all over again. This time, a farewell that just doesn't say "I'll see you later" but, mixed with the fear of the reality that can happen, "We'll never see each other again".Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien
Last Episode
Farewells should not be "I'll never see you again" but rather "I had fun being with you" because if the words "I'll never see you again" wouldn't do anything to change your fate, it is just folly to do it.
This is my gift to you: my words of farewell.
Farewell that says "I had fun being with you"
Farewell that says "I am a better person after I met you"
Farewell that says "I will never forget you"
Farewell that says "You are always in my heart"
Farewell that says "Thank you for everything"
Farewell that says "I love you"
I am, but a fairy of farewells.
Shall we part then with a smile?
Good bye.
Paalam.
Ha det.
Sayounara.
Arrivederci.
Au revoir.
Auf Wiedersehen.
Adeus.
Adiós.
再见.
