What Matters Most is that we….

No, I have not abandoned my friendster account. I just got so busy the past months but now, I’m back online.
And besides…
My old pal broke down. Now it has retired and I weeped for a while because 8 years is 8 years. For those 8 long years, Good Old Pal was my interactive companion even in the wee hours. It gave me so many interesting things to do when I was bored, and a lot of useful information when I needed some. It even helped me earn some bucks.
Years passed and my Pal remained loyal. It served me with all its might and dedication. Better counterparts came out but I never thought of replacing it. Besides, I have developed a special attachment to this Good Old Pal of mine because he stayed with me for good times and not-so-good times. It has proven its worth for the last 8 years. It never complained, it never failed me rain or shine, morning or evening, from dusk ‘til dawn. I even begged it to stay active even if it wanted to take a rest…but I should understand that nothing is permanent in this world.
So sometime in January, Good Old Pal became weak (after a 2 week marathon with my two kids). After that, it was never the same again. Good Old Pal became slow in everything I need it to do. Its energy deteriorated in a very fast pace from then on.
Then one day, when I was trying to wake it up, it did not respond anymore.
I tried to seek for help hoping that it could still be revived. Then I heard the bombshell! “It is the motherboard.”
Aaaah… I just had to accept that its end has come.
And I just have to accept that Old Pal is… old!
Goodbye, old pal. Thank you for your goodness, for the loyalty, and for your remarkable service. Though I should quickly find your replacement, I will never forget you, and maybe, miss you sometimes.
