behind the shades and beneath the cap

the brave ones have landed. this needs a big step from a little foot. and i've never tested my strength like this before. waving goodbye from the shuttle to my family and a few close friends, i looked at them smiling with aviator shades on my face under a mcdonald's cap ton gave me. and i was crying. i never thought i'd hate leaving them this much. lynne and i didn't talk much after the bus left megamall. we never said a word even while i was eating my aloha burger. the first thing i said to break the silence, "para kong ibibitay." i had a meal i liked but i was crying as i ate it. then stef texted me eveything that made me cry even more. lynne and i realized what it was like to endure leaving everything you love behind. and i salute to them. because it takes a lot of strength. and i have never been this brave.
