adrian, a friend from church, first came to japan on 2007. he was here for a year-long assignment in his company. though he came here on January 2007, we only got to meet him middle of the year. he’s attending the Sunday morning mass, while we’re attending the Saturday anticipated mass. After a lot of urgings from Fiona and Henky to come and join the Saturday choir, finally he came and joined us.

From then on, we enjoyed his company and had a good laugh whenever we’re with him. so when it was time for him to go home, everyone’s sad and hoping that he’d come back.

after two years, he’s here again! yey! you can’t imagine how happy we were when we saw him. and he came back just the right time, with Fiona and Henky tying the knot that year. And man, he really did come back at the right time.

since a lot had happened last year, i was so glad that he’s here in japan. i had someone to talk to, and we really grew close together. as i told him, he’s like a bestfriend that i could really talk to. i don’t want to sound defensive, but don’t get me wrong ’cause it’s nothing romantic. he’s just a really good friend.

and then, the year went by so fast that it’s December once again.. and it’s time to say good bye.. again. with all the things that had happened, everyone was more emotional when he said his goodbyes. good thing for me, i left a week earlier than him and i got to see him in RP again.

hope we meet each other again when i go back there. or maybe he could just come back here ;)
