"A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely." ~Pam Brown

I have met with my friends from my first job (Informatics) last night. We had sumptuous dinner at Banana Leaf Podium and cups of coffee at starbucks. Two of them came from Canada. Its actually been a year since I last saw all of them. I was even asked if I also went abroad because I hardly attend their gimmiks. If I was not busy I was sick. Howell, I realized how much I missed keeping in touch with most of my friends. sigh

It was a fun night. The Canadian couple was able to get a starbucks planner in one night. They claimed that these kind of promo is only available here in the Philippines. So you can just imagine how 10 people gulped 21 cups of coffee last night. hahaha...we finished at 1am. I hope that I can keep in touch as often as I can next time.

Its nice to have friends. People who are still there no matter the distance or the time you were apart. Material gifts are just secondary blessings that one appreciates during this season. The best part is the sharing of love and friendship - these things that we can keep forever in our hearts.

Merry Christmas to everybody!
