I went to the office last Monday with a little excitement; reason: my friend and I will be working on almost the same schedules though he comes in 2hours earlier than I do. Well, at least, it's better than before; where I came in 5hours ahead.
Anyway, I mentioned of excitement - indeed I was! Happy even -- seeing him and seated just next to each other; but was saddened when he told me he will be resigning and leaving for Afghanistan - soon! =(. Chances are very close! - 75 over a hundred. Why Afghan? Their family friend, who is working with UN, based in Afghan is needing a staff. He always wanted to work with UN --- tax exempted, well paid and travel opportunities. A tear almost dropped. He is one hell of the reasons who makes me happy and the thought of losing him pains me all the time - even more outside the Phils.
I am always looking forward to that day (always getting myself ready); the day of his resignation (he already mentioned this intention to me before) but the idea of him leaving the country especially to a dangerous place like Afghan -- I don't know. Deep Sigh. At least, I will still get to see him if he works here but outside the Philippines -- not a chance.
My friend, whatever your choices and decisions are... even if it pains me in some ways, you will always have my support. Peksman! :)
