it has been a long time, i see so many new people here and i cant help but reminisce on the old times. it seems like only yesterday when we used to rant and complain about how VSC was taking so long, we rejoiced together when we got approved and slowly everyone just drifted away. im wondering where you guys are now, Phillip2, Pattu Rani, Kathassane, Waiting Forever, Richard and Aida, MrsRowe, Garu, Reehon and so many others. i am still here , lurking, still going thru the process. i miss my batchmates, i hope you are all well.

Hi all. I’m here. I don’t check the forum everyday (20 times a day) like I used to do but I still read a bit. I am aware of the people still waiting from the September approvals and pray that it all works out for each one of you.

Yes Sasha, I have also noticed a “change of the guard” in the forum. How the familiar nick names disappear and new ones start popping up. Getting philosophical and melancholic for a moment, this reminds me of life itself. How we come into it all excited with our goals and dreams and how as time passes, those dreams are realized or changed, and how at the end we move on.

And then the new generation takes over, learns from the old ones, and looks for ways to improve or change what had been the norm; and fight their own battles. And then the cycle starts all over again.

This experience that we have gone through together as part of the VJ forum will be unforgettable. It changes you forever. Although I was told that sometimes I got lost in the forum (meaning over reacting or jumping to every little issue someone had by thinking it could happen to me), I was glad I had a place to go and vent when needed, cry when needed, learn when needed, and people there that were going through the same process and always willing to help. For the first time, I felt I wasn’t alone.

Good luck and God help all those from the September group still waiting to continue their lives and best wishes to all the new people starting this wonderfully painful process.
