Today, the 1st Sunday of October is a pleasant one for me, because I got to spend time with a guy childhood friend whom I have not seen (and talked to) in a really, really, really long time. Oh well, the facts that he's now based abroad and doesn't have any social networking account (he simply refuses to have one, Friendster days pa lang) are major factors why our communication has been sporadic. But this guy has always been easy to talk to. I was just in my teenage years when we first became friends, and mind you, it has remained just that: FRIENDSHIP. I didn't know he was in the country until I got an sms on my personal mobile number. So I rushed out of the house to meet with him for coffee.
Surprisingly, he's updated with all that has been happening in my life. Though he admitted that lately, he gets the updates from my entries here. As a real friend goes, he's happy for me, for what I have become as a person; and that he is most happy that I finally "had the balls to go after and do what I really wanna do in my life; and not just spend time working my ass off". And that he will be "really, truly ecstatically happy" "if you quit your present job and go back to the private sector, because working in the government is just a waste of your talent!". Ahhahahhaahha! How bloody upfront of you, Mon! This latter wish brought back to my mind that afternoon when I told you guys that I'll be working in the government and you were so incredulous about it. Hahaha!Well, 10 years after, I'm still here. :)
It was a nice couple of hours to spend with you, my dear Mon-Mon, even though the sky was overcast and there's a bit of rain. I have missed you tremendously and our moments like we had this afternoon. I hope to heavens that you'll come back and visit more frequently. And for goodness' sake, can you please have a social networking account?!
