belinda,

when i first heard na may offer ka to work in vietnam,
the first thing na pumasok sa isip ko is,
paano na ang leyte trip this coming summer?!
chuks!

to tell you honestly, natuwa ako nang malaman ko yung news.
i mean, bihira lang naman kasi na mabigyan ng opportunity like that.
some people would do anything to be given that privilege,
tapos sa yo, parang ang easy lang ng pagkaka-deliver.

it's true, working abroad is a very different experience.
i won't say na i'm more mature, but definitely i learned something.
it's enlightening in the sense that you'll meet more people,
be immersed in a culture a little different from yours.

don't mix in love with your decision to pursue this or not.
think of this as a one-time life experience, just like finding your one true love.
this might be the vlad of your career, the work opportunity that got away...

of course, i was saddened by your news,
wala naman kaming ibang kakilala sa leyte, wala kaming matutuluyan,
baka di kami papasukin ng parents mo sa bahay nyo.
chuks!

btw, ano pala ang arrangements ng work mo?
i mean, when will you be leaving and for how long?
meron pa ba silang opening for programmers?
chuks!

natutuwa ako sa group natin kasi we're all growing, moving on.
being the trendsetter that i am (and will always be forever and ever),
3 na ang nag-a-abroad sa atin, followed by shiela, and now you.
tapos si lani, may licence na as a teacher.
si cherryl na lang di pa nagmu-move on, in-love pa rin kay francis.
chuks!
