Yesterday, I went to Oslo to meet Hana.
She's an exchange student too, from Germany, who lives in Kristiansand and she was visiting Oslo for a bit. I was supposed to go to Oslo last Friday but my card got locked up because I pressed the wrong PIN code 5 times. It's been a while since I used it so, I sort of forgot the code. hehe.
We met at the park at around 4 or 5. Flavio was already there. So, we played frisbee for a while and then Flavio went to pick up Rikardo from the train station or somewhere. And then we played a little bit more but we both suck at it so we just settled on stopping. hehe. We stopped playing, sat down and just talked. We were waiting for the two of them to come back.
After a while, they came back and then we played more. And then, I threw the frisbee quite high (and wrong) to a tree. You see, the frisbee we're playing with is more of like a hoop so it got stuck. We proved everything to get it down. My shoe, climbing the tree, shaking the branch (which by the way, gave me "emo" scratches) and everything possible. After a while, we managed to get it back with the help of the guys who were playing volleyball. (They took the pole. hehe.) And after that, we played a bit more and then Flavio and Rikardo needed to go home and eat dinner. So, Hana and I went out to grab a bite over at BK. And then stayed there for a while, just talking.
I realized, time runs so fast nowadays. Somehow, I'm really excited to coming back home. You see, I'm going back home to a new home. Literally and in a sense. Literally because we're moving in to our new house. In a sense because I've changed so much that the way I see them has become something completely new.
Although, I have regrets for letting time pass without doing anything about it. That's why I made a pledge that while I'm here, I'm going to make my stay as memorable as possible. Not with big things, but with small, seemingly irrelevant, things. In a sense, I just want to live here while I still have the time. I want to not to be sad when I come home. Probably become nervous, but overall, I want to be happy --without regrets. There's so many things to do in life that there's no use regretting things that have not been done. I'd rather cherish the moments I've created for myself.
Anyway, I just came back home from Riccardo's (ITA) place. I slept there instead of going home last night. I'm just being lazy, that's all. And I'm glad I stayed there. Somehow, I became closer with them. Probably not to be considered a real friend, but I think, close enough. I guess it's a start of something for me. I hope I don't ruin it.
And it's 69 Days and counting.
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.
