I kveld, vi had pizzakveld på Cecilia's hjemme. Jeg hadde mye morsomt!! (?)
(Tonight, we had a pizza night in Cecilia's home / flat. I had much(or lots and lots of, since I can't find a word for lots) fun.)
Most of the people there, I met already but it's always good to meet new people. It's nice to see other people, from all over the world, trying to communicate to each other and trying to learn a new language. I guess this AFS arranged gatherings are really quite helpful because they encourage the students to study norwegian to be able to communicate with others properly. Well, that's what it does to me, at least..
I am disappointed with myself, though, because I can't open up a conversation with anyone. Perhaps, I'm just too shy.. I want to change.. This is the same exact thing that I was thinking after the City tour in Oslo and now I haven't changed.. I'll start tomorrow.. I'll change.. I have to.. if I want to have friends, I need to.. this isn't Philippines anymore, where I can just mind my own business knowing that I have friends.. here, I don't (and won't) have friends if I did the same things I have been doing this past few years..
I've set my mind. I will change.
I think therefore I am.
.. Cogito ergo sum ..
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.

hei! I agree with you, but you have to think about who you are going to meet because they think at you/they want you in one way, and sometimes you are different...with clever people you can be youself, but with the other people you have to take a decision: do you want to remain youself? i know that now it's easy to answer yes, but when you want to meet people and just speak with them you can change you mind...just take care
