Missing You. 81

If you're missing someone, how do you cope up with that? Well, some people would say that it's never easy especially if you're really attached. I've known a lot of people who left the Philippines for work leaving their lovers behind. I guess, I've never thought of that be happened to me. I've spoken to these people and I got different reactions. For example, Randy, a friend of mine since college freshman. May, his girlfriend since high school, is now in Canada for work. They have been together since high school, thus, it would mean like 11, 12 years? That's wow. But today, they haven't seen each other for a while (but thanks to technology - skype? ym?). I saw Randy once at the glorietta mall and he looked fine and happy. I guess, I would say that their relationship is a lot stronger now because of so many years they have spent together. Another friend of mine, Harryl, who works as a seaman, is now having a vacation with his family in Davao. His girlfriend, the name I don't know, is in the other side of the world (I just don't know which part). They are used to this long-distance-relationship and they are getting married soon. I just don't know what they have done for them to keep the relationship strong.

I guess, the important key here is communication. The current world civilization is so lucky to have the newest and smartest technology the world has ever had. We have thousands of companies who are craving for more technology upgrades and some of these we use on our daily lives. Mobile phones, for example, are so handy and affordable now unlike 8 years ago that you had to spend thousands of pesos to purchase one 3-kilo, soap-like phone. Now, all we have to do is to exhaust these technologies being offered to us. We have skype for real time webcam chat. We have YM to catch him/her online anytime of the day. We have roaming features on our phones for us to talk to our loved ones abroad. And by these means, we can actually keep the relationship that once we thought would fail because of distance.

I miss you. Call me once you're done reading this.
