3. | Three days before the day, and I celebrated with my host family tonight. My sister suddenly got a fever but it didn’t stop her from being very hyper - “いつも元気だよ!” she says. It was so much fun - we played Bingo and ate cake too! It was my last dinner with them; sigh, I’m gonna miss the Arakawa family.

…This post goes to that other special person I’ve met here - Andrew.

I don’t know how we suddenly got close, and I don’t really care - I just know you’re one of the close friends I’ve made here, if not the closest.

Thank you for always being there, listening to every rant I have, sharing secrets, trusting me, always helping me, drinking together, and just being you. I owe you a lot. Make sure you get to actually visit the Philippines this year, and I’ll tour you no matter how busy I am!

Thank you so much, I love you, and なかよし forever! ♥
