Maia

It wasn’t too long ago since I first met Maia. I met her through my sister but I didn’t really call her that back then. We weren’t all too close at the time. Actually, I was the one who gave her that nick name. It was about 7 years ago, if I remember right. She first visited the house and I was immediately overjoyed. Something told me that we were going to get along just fine.

But I didn’t really give in at first. My focus was on other things like school and the PS2. Sure, sometimes, If I had some trouble at school I’d occasionally turn to Maia. It wasn’t a regular thing but I felt myself drawn more and more each time.

We all loved Maia. Me and my siblings would hang out with Maia on different occasions. She was definitely special but moreso to me. But we got even closer after my folks left for the US. At that time, it was only the two of us and Tsukasa; the white cat. Maia was there with me mourning when Tsukasa left for the big litter box in the sky.

We had good times. From the near non-stop Ragnarok Online days and even until recently, games and the internet were some of the things that probably bonded me and Maia the most. Even when Maia’s been through some tough times, she still manages to give her all. So I now regret not showing more concern and care for her. But its too late.

I say this with sadness in my heart…

Maia, my faithful computer, has kicked the bucket.
