it's not gone yet

Lights in Phnom Penh.

Whenever I look at the photos from the Cambodia trip, my heart always ache. For the children in the photos. And sigh, I really want to go back. Why is money always a factor in life? And time. And many other things.

I know there is a limit to how much I can do. But I really hope to be able to see these children again. And hopefully, they will remember me too. Haha! But yea, to see their smiles again. And hear them share about what they like and aspire to be. We were all young once. You know how it feels like to be a child who full of hopes and dreams. And to see it in their eyes, it just lets you have faith that yes, humans are still great. That everyone is born with big dreams and goals and the innocence in them. Despite them having been through quite a lot of trials at such a young age, they are still able to smile brightly at us. It's something that I probably won't ever forget.

And yes, I really hope that it will be possible for me to visit them again. Someday. It will be great if they are able to come here. And then we can show them around. But yep, that might take awhile before it happens. There is so much for them to grow and develop and gah, I just really wish they will have a good education experience at the school despite not having a good one in their public school. But okay, I guess more about this next time. I shouldn't be blogging now but the feels came creeping in 'cause I had to choose some photos to be burn into a CD for the school.

Also, shout out to the dark knight for doing damage control to a crazy emotional wreck. Haha! Okay lar, more of a ranting session that gave way to great and wonderful enlightenment about life and what not. We will get through this!! "Take charge of your own life" No thank you for the reminder. =)
