Gosh! Akala ko I would be able to finish everything that I have to do before I go back to work again. I go back to work again today after a long weekend....and well, I did manage to get the errands done. Pero ang dami ko pang kailangan tawagan at dalawin. Pakiramdam ko, napa bayaan ko na ang mga taong malapit sa akin dito sa lugar na dayuhan. No, we are not "best-friends and all", but I am the type of person who keeps in touch with people. Hindi man everyday thing, kahit every month or so lang. Kasi, I don't want them to feel like I just talk to them pag kailangan ko ang tulong nila. Kasi, ayoko ko din na ginagamit ako in the same way. Admittedly kasi, maraming Pilipino dito sa Germany who are exactly so. Pag may kailangan sa akin, asahan mo, walang patid ang calls nila. Puro puri at magagandang salita lang ang maririnig sa kanila. But
immediately after they get what they need or want, wala ka nang maririnig from them!
NO, I don't obligate them to report to me all the time. I also don't want to pressure them. I don't want them to feel like they have the need to tell me everything, otherwise they would loose my friendship. I don't want that myself.
All I am saying is, I want to do it like this. I want to keep in touch every now and then. This is me. Ayoko din naman ng sobrang "keeping in touch" like everyday, every hour, eh, medyo I would have to send a text message letting them what I am doing, or where I am at. OA!

Posted by: russ at June 3, 2004 07:01 PMHi Red Baron,
hehe:), sorry for the confusion. I was just bloghopping...that's how I found your site and Mr. Bobred's. I found both really interesting. Also I just linked you up, so it's easier for me to go back and visit you again. I thought my visitor's may like both sites as well. Hope you don't mind....
Have a good one!!!
This was a strange blog to read because I'd get half way thru' a sentence before realising that I didn't actually understand it and only then observing that this was because it was written in a language I don't speak. Bizarrly interesting. I don't know how you found myself and Mr Bobred but I'm glad you did.
