Digging Out Something From Memory

Since the news broke off about Friendster being shut down 31st of May, I checked on my account for the last time thinking I could save all my pictures I had from there since most of them had been deleted from my computer back-up. I was surprised finding myself to be smiling at most time by just merely browsing through my sets of albums there, surely I missed using Friendster. And there, it was all documented in pictures from the time I got my first camera phone to the extent of the downhill of Friendster popularity.

I could not believe I am blogging about Friendster now! Haha! But there’s no harm in doing so, right? After all, as I posted to my other site, Friendster was my first love when it comes to social network. If it weren’t because of Friendster, I would not have gotten hundreds of friends whom like, one third of it, I didn’t know. If it weren’t because of Friendster, I would not have learned the basics of html which later on helped me a lot in college because of my mastery in it.

As I scanned through my messages in my inbox there, something caught my eye. It was a message from a familiar face, a face I never get to see in such a long time. It was from Ven. Opening the message gave me goose bumps and a tiny heart attack. Okay, that was exaggerated. So, I opened it. It was sent two years ago, here it is..

He was about to transfer to another school then, this was sent right after my debutante ball, and we all knew that he was my escort. I remember receiving this, I literally, cried river. I could not fathom that he will leave me, after saying these things to me, things I’d like to hear since like, forever. But then he was not transferred. He chose to stay. But still, our happy ending never came.

I know we are not in good terms now, I tried to reconcile things but it seemed so hard if one party is the only one trying. It hurts me to see that we are separated from each other’s lives now, getting farther each day. I do not hope for us to be together anymore, all I want is to get him back – as a friend. Is that too much to ask?

I miss you, Ven. If you only knew. :(
