It was a pleasant surprise when I saw an email coming from my ex-coworker when I was working in Country C. It was a surprise because we still stay in touch after so many years and once in a while drop each other a few lines. It was pleasant, well, I should say funny pleasant…oh, go read yourself of her introduction of the email -> “Hey, I was watching beauty pageant the other day on TV…guess what? The champion was from your home city. Your city seems to produce pretty girls huh?...”
Now don’t you agree that this introduction of the email is amusing? I remember when I first met my ex-coworker upon my first day at work, I introduced myself, “Hi, I’m from City I, a place that produces pretty girls. Don’t believe me? Look at me, I’m the perfect example!” She stared at me thinking I was some sort of crazy girl for a few seconds. Then she burst into laughter. And since then we got along really well. We even went for extremely long lunch hours to try out different food somewhere far from the work place.
I’m happy that I get to know many wonderful people from work. Funny it is that I become good friends with some of them. These are the little things that I find pleasant. I can’t ask for more, can I? : )
Addentum:
I just received another email from another ex-coworker (Vietnamese lady) who I knew from work at Country C. The second line after saying Hi to me was, "Any good news?". Huh? You must be curious what "good news" she's actually referring. All right, she and others (all my family, relatives, friends and coworkers around all those countries I have been whom I still stay in touch) have always been really interested about my status. This ex-coworker was extremely curious about my dating status all along since I started knowing her from work in Country C. Well, she still is even though she has returned to her home country and I am now in Country D. Great, should I be really happy that everyone is soooo concerned about my status?
In another great news, this coworker whom I have actually mentioned in my previous post (Can it work?) now has a baby boy. She was complaining that everyone who've seen her 3-month old son claimed that he looks like her husband but not her. Hehe...this is really funny and I'm definitely going to tease her about this later. I am so happy for her. I really am. :P
