"Farewell to You My Friends"
Today is our last full day together with my fellow SEA Teachers from Iloilo. Margie and Jessie have become our brother and sister already. We have shared many laughs and smiles together and it was sad to think that they had to leave before we do.
Because we were already free, the International Affairs Office decided to take us all to an aquarium and brid park. It was very beautiful and our buddies were very fun to be with. We also went to a reptile park afterwards so we can really explore other places in Purwokerto.

After a very late lunch, we went back to the dormitory and watched Margie pack her things. It was sad to see her go. She and I became very close and we've shared so many memories with each other. We've talked about many things as well from life, religion, love and family. We never run out of topics to talk about.
Ibu Neny showed up to say her last goodbye to us. It made us very emotional when she had to leave. She has been like a mother to us and as teachers under her care, she showed us kindness in ways unimaginable.
That night, our buddies threw a farewell party for all of us. We were very happy that they decided to come and spend our last nights with us. We played games, ate good food and talked about many things. They always made us feel welcomed and in return we told them that if they will visit the Philippines, just call us.
We finished very late because it rained and it seems like the weather matched our feelings that day.
