The falcon has temporarily
landed in a forest full of uncertainties. However, amidst all the worries that
he needs to undergo, a shining light serves as his guide, which helps him to
stretch his wings to the fullest and boldly take every step that he has to
make. Without the light, the falcon would probably surface again and look for
another residence.
The falcon has been brave, not
only because he has to, but definitely due to the light that assists him in his
every way. Now that with dark days surely coming ahead, the falcon can now be
independent in the forest until such momentous time when he has to surface
again.
Truly, in these circumstances,
the shining light has proved its worth.

In the years of existence of
this multiply page, I have been keen to writing open letters for those people who
in one way or another have made a difference in my life. For my co-worker,
co-joker, co-researcher: Ms. Angela Melchora Garchitorena, here’s one for you.
***
Two years of brainstorming
about a lot of things including how we plan to rule our world in the near
future seems not enough for us to be able to fully cope with the various
changes that are abruptly happening in our lives. There were times that we had
to argue over who’s right (although I always point out that it is me) and say
sorry that the word has seemingly become meaningless, still, for the sake of
those two years, forgive and forget can be one of the most appropriate lessons
that we can imbibe in relating with others.
Aside from that, I want to
thank you.
During my first days and that
time when I thought that the party-list Akbayan seemed to be on its way to
leading the roster of marginalized sectors in Congress, you were the one who
faced the ‘bullshit’ from a straight-forwarded editor and stood as the
frontliner and my spokesperson to assure them how I can be successful in the
future.
In simple words, you saved me
and pulled the extent of what I can do. I had my previous experiences in
managing work but you still put a note on how to be better.
Now that goodbye seems
inevitable, all I wish is contentment that you may finally find whatever that
you have been searching for in your life. After contentment, everything will
surely follow.
As parting words, I want to
impart one of my favorite lines, as stated by Sirius Black, in the film Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:
“That one that loves us never
really leaves us; we can always find them here (in our hearts).”
Angela, thank you and good
bye. Until we meet again.
P.S.
Hanggang
sa huli nating pagsasama eh ‘joke’ pa rin ang ating mga inaatupag. Hehe. Pero
definitely, mami-miss kita.
