What are we going to do, then if everything seemed so fast! =( I feel really sad that a friend(from the office) is leaving us already because today is her last day at work.. and well we won't be spending time with her more like we used to be and that we won't get to hang out often too. =(
It saddens me so much because we are so close, like sisters even if you say and now that we haven't got so much time left i can already feel how sad it is going to be without her now.. ohh its so sad when someone you have gotten really close to leave, right? =(
Well what can you guys say, or how did you cope with a friend leaving, say for abroad or a friend leaving the country or moving to another town? it is really sad right? when a friend had to move, though of course we know we would also be seeing them soon but just not like as it is now.

thank you so much kongno. :D it is always a good thing we have so much better kind of communication. people can and will always find means to communicate and stay in touch. i just am sad for the thought of losing the time we always have here in the office. :D but oh well we know we'll be able to pull it off and just invite her soon on our next gathering.

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, it is natural for people to seek other places, especially when they're looking for a better one. And, it is really sad when you're the one being left behind. I feel that everytime someone resigns in the office. Of course, I feel happy for the one leaving especially if he/she is going to a better place. Still, you can't help but feel a little sad. But, our world is a small world now because of technology. So, you could still text, call, email, tweet, chat at whatever social network... The important thing is to keep the communication open.

i do understand that she wanted to find a better job and i am happy for her, indeed we all are happy she got into the company because she said she really liked to work in the company. :D Im just sad now because i could no longer spend more time with her and with the others as we always have lunch together and even have coffee breaks together and we even extend up to friday night outs and stuff. he he

i know how you feel chiyosan because I've always experienced that to some of my closest friends. it is really a bit hard at first for the reason that the places and the moments with a friend could always be remembered of. It feels sad, alone and lonely, too . Later on, time will help you adjust .Likewise, the modern technology we have can somehow fill the gaps. The important thing is, friendship still remains despite the distance.

Saying goodbye is really hard to deal with most especially to a very close person. But, look at it this way. Your friend is just leaving the office and not your friendship. Eventhough you won't be spending as much time as before, still you will be her friend ans you can always have time to enjoy each other's company when both of you are have the time.

that's true, but then the workplace is different, she would be transferred to another company and its in a different city so i guess its hard to make a day where all of us would be free to meet again. ohh but im hopeful she will still join our friday night outs as a group. :D

that is why I hate goodbyes :'(. Well it is very sad to see a close friend leaving but make sure you hand out with that friend still even when you are already separated from each other in terms of department you are working in. It is sad to see a friend leave but still be thankful she is still alive and that you can still get to hang out with her and have some fun with her. Goodluck!

Friends really do come and go but only those real ones stay in your heart. No matter how far apart you are separated and no matter how long you may not see each other, a true friend never changes. when you meet again, you'll share the same laughters, share the same attitudes, and share again your past experiences. You know that person is a true friend if he/she goes away for long and when he/she returns, you never get anxious or shy of each other to talk again the same silly things as before.... This is actually based on my own experience...

oh.. this is what i have thought about, that friends do stick with each other no matter how far. anyway i do have a friend in singapore and when she comes by around we always spend time together and as if nothing has changed really. And i sure hope it is the same with out friend here who is transferring to other company. :( i would really just miss her so much. i don't know but its good there's viber and text messaging he he we can catch up when she is not busy at all.

It is really sad and I really don't like saying good byes. I think you will cope up with it as we all do and just keep in touch and call each other and you will find it easier to deal with. there are times when the gap is filled by someone else then it is more and more easier but we have to start all over again to fill the gap of the person. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.
