Different people come and go in our lives. But sometimes, there are those who seems unable to forget who we were to them. Either we have made such an impression or have touched their lives in some ways that no amount of years will erase us from their memories.
I, for one, was like that to one person. I won't elaborate any further but my being a part of that person's life once upon a time have made some impact that somehow changed that persons'view of what lays ahead. I've lost contact with that person for so long and my memories of that person started to fade. So many years has passed but it was made known, that the thought of me is still very much alive in that person's memories.
So, when you think about those people that you've met, those that have come and bade their goodbyes, do you think that among them, there's one or more person that still remembers you up to this day? You may have forgotten about them but they will never forget you....

we are so busy and of course we tend to forget. but when a touch of something or a certain word, a certain song, a certain movie brings back a lot of memories and those people who we thought we forgot already will come back to life in our minds. i also wonder if some of my friends remembers me up to now. i feel sorry if i lost communication to them but at those time there was no cellphone or email back then. ouch... am i that old lol. i am trying to locate them through friendster but some of them are members and some of them are not. it is much difficult to locate girl friends because when they get married they change surnames.

Hi roni!
Who knows, maybe one of them has never forgotten about you. Just doesn't know how to make contact with you.
I'm completely with you on trying to locate old female friends on Friendster. I had a bestfriend once in grade school. I was trying for years to look for her but still came up with nothing. Fortunately, she learned about me from our old schoolmate. That is the problem with changed surnames. She can't find me and I can't find her. The same thing with my youngest sister. So frustrated, she changed her surname back to her maiden name. And sure enough, her old friends and classmates finally found her.

You know, roni. I felt the same way. I've contacted some of my old classmates. Sent them messages through Friendster. Some did reply back but some of them didn't bother. I guess, they were too busy living their lives to be bothered by an old classmate.
Anyway, that might be the case with your old friends. Maybe just like me, I rarely check my friendster account these days. Well...that is, eversince discovering MyLot, I was hooked!
You can try making contact with them again and check if they are regularly visiting their account. I think there was a time that I didn't receive any notifications from Friendster. Maybe that's the problem with some of them.

Hello bala. 
How are you doing?
I'm so sorry it took me awhile to get back to you. I had to take some time off from Mylot and take care of things. But, I'm back!I understand why your friend Glory will definitely remember you. I haven't seen you personally but still, when I was off Mylotting for sometime, I remember the friends I've met here in this site. And one of them is you.

That's the beauty of technology. No matter how far they are, you will always have a way to connect with them. I am guessing that yes, you must have made such good impressions on them because they still make the communication between the two of you, open.

I think I have that effect on some of the people I've met, though I just don't know exactly who they are and where they were right now. I also feel the same way on others, I long for them because I miss the times we shared together. I guess you've also heard of this saying, "people change.. some of them don't."
Those who didn't change could looking for me too, but just don't have enough time because we are all busy living our lives. Those who's changed, I guess they don't value the times we had for one another. There could a lot of reasons, all we have to do is understand them and hopefully they'd come to realize the fun and laughter we all enjoyed back then.

Don't worry JC, you won't see me blush nor would you notice it in-case we are facing each other right now, because of my skin complexion.
I really dunno what to say, I never expected that I would really make that sort of impression to someone else -especially here on mylot. If that's how you look at me, then thank you so much. I also feel the same way to you and our friend, Raia.
Just keep on sharing my friend, always keep in mind that someone will always value your views when you feel like no one else seems to listen..

Well, for one thing, you can count me in. There are two of you here in MyLot that will always be in my brain!hahaha! Just kidding. I know that you know, Perspectives. If ever the time will come that MyLot (hope not!)closes, I will never forget you and Perspectives. Ok, don't blush!
Ok, raijin. I'll say it. Unforgettable...that's what you are.... Unforgettable...though near of far. Ok, I'll just stop there because I'm happily married and have a 5 year old boy! Just kidding again. hehehe!
But you know, I completely understand why you will make such an impression on others. For one thing, your sense of humor. And I may not remember names anymore after so many years, but I will always remember a person with a great sense of humor. Ok, don't blush on me again!hehehe!

I wish I were LOL! But there were instances in the past that I would rather not have existed because of the failures or embarrassment it caused me.
I've got a friend back in Bangkok who always tell people how I have contributed to her life and it just overwhelms me. I can't easily admit that I made such impact in her life. But anyway, it feels great.
I have been to so many places and have met so many people. Some of them I can't forget and maybe they do the same with me. Thanks to Friendster the first social networking I joined. I got reconnected with those friends I met across the Philippine archipelago.

It does feel great to know that somehow we have touched the lives of other people. And because of that, we will always be a part of them. No distance or time can change that.
And oh, yes. Thanks to Friendster because I was also able to reconnect with most of my old friends. Some were busy living their lives to be bothere but most of them wanted to keep in touch.

i don't know if someone from the past still remembers me up to this day and i don't know if i made some impact on someone's life. but it would be flattering to know if there is someone like that from my past. its a nice feeling if you know that you've made a good change on someone or that you've been such a good person that someone cannot forget you and still remembers you even after you've lost communication. i don't know if i'm someone who is unforgettable. in fact, i think i can easily be forgotten. ^__^;;

You may never know, secretbear. That someone you have met before still remembers you, maybe through your good deeds, your personality or you just have that impact on anyone you meet that makes you quite not easy to forget.

I understand, subha. The part where the people who are important to you doesn't make contact with you. They may have their reasons but just the same, it hurts to know that they have no time to do so.But hey, you did say you had very nice moments with them. At least, you can dwell on those memories, make help lessen the disappointment that you may be feeling.

I think I have managed to touch a few lives and made myself unforgettable in their lives. There were people who told me that I have helped them be what they are now today and that I have in a way inspired them to do something which I never intentionally did. It is good though to know that even after so many years. One friend of mine that I havent seen for 15 years just told me out of the blue about the effect I had on her life and I was so touched that she I have made such an impact. Another friend also whom I have helped over 12 years ago also told me that until this day she is so grateful to me and that she has not forgotten about what I did for her. I was really astounded that after all those years they still remember because I have honestly forgotten all about them.

It is indeed a warm, wonderful feeling. To know that we will always be a part of someone we have helped. That whatever we did for them, have made them into what they are positively right now.
I understand about the part of having forgotten some people who have come and went into our lives. And without even you knowing that whatever you have done, have made you so unforgettable to them.

Hihi.
Yes, I think so. In fact, it soothes my ego to think so LOL.
One of my friends once described me as an elephant who stomps in and leaves his marks even after I left.
But I don't do that to everyone of course. I can be very nice and a very loyal and steadfast friend once you know me.
Not every person give me this chance though. I have that kind of personality which you either like a lot or hate a lot. Some choose the latter and I think it is really their loss.

It is their loss. But unlike them, I like your "personality" here at Mylot. You seem to be a fun person to be with. Based on your discussions, I'm guessing there's no dull and boring time when your friends are with you.

I have a very good friend since pre-school and we had just lost contact maybe 15-20 years ago when they move from their former place without me knowing. If ever she tried to locate me, i know she can't as we also moved from our old house. We are like sisters and I know both of us can't forget each other as the years passes by. She can't forget me that's for sure as I became her companion and a shoulder to cry on during the dark times of her life.
I just hope that someday, we will meet again.

Hi julie.
That's the beauty of a solid friendship. No amount of years can break it. Who knows, maybe someday and somewhere, you'll just bump into her.
I lost hope of ever finding my bestfriend from grade school. But when I least expected it, she made contact with me!
You'll never know. Maybe tonight or tomorrow or the next day, she'll give you a call and say, "Hey, Julie. Still remember me?"

Sometimes there are people who made such an impression to us. That even if they have forgotten about us, we can never ever forget them. There will always be some specific things or reasons that makes them truly unforgettable. Even time nor distance can't change that.
