it so happens that ms. julie is in town and had invited joan and me for dinner. we met up with her at liza and benny caleda's lovely home here in phu my hung. it was apparent that joan and I were meant to meet them - that, in the greater scheme of things i had not crossed paths with them in my one year here but tonight i did.
what great (and inspiring) company we had! so many beautiful things shared over the equally lovely meal. stories on love, life, miracles, tips and tricks on surviving living abroad, etc. there was sooooooooooo much to get just from the stories they had and there was so much more by seeing how they live... and love.
some things i want to take note of coz i dont want to forget them when i wake up:
face adversity with a thankful heart
find entertainment in the hardest things you face
at the end of the day, we're visitors in their country
a woman needs a man who is smart and will always be able to make her laugh
ms julie, tita liza and tito benny... THANK YOU. :)
