Today, I'm grateful for great friends - people who know me and accept me and share my life's ups and downs with me. Some of them are here in Manila and are easily accessible whereas others are abroad as far away as Canada, but they are all friends I hold dear to my heart just the same. I got especially reminded of this last night when a friend based in Singapore took time out of his busy schedule to call me to chat about a work-related semi-problem I have, which we didn't really get to discuss the last time he was home in Manila (which ironically was just last weekend). It was just a 25-minute call, far shorter than our usual meet-ups, but it was substantial enough to clarify some things in my head and give my thoughts a bit more direction. He's always known me very well, and knows just what to say, when to say it. It also helps that we have similar outlook in work life and work success. It was just what I needed.
Thank you for friends. Real friends.
