I married an American national. It was a whirlwind, though hard to believe because I don’t like America to begin with (no hypocrisy here).
I was working in Congress at the time and there were pressures to work long hours especially during budget hearing. So to kill the time I started chatting in YM and met this guy. That was March 2000. By June, I was in the US for some official functions of my office, and of course, I grabbed that opportunity to meet this guy. We got married by October and the rest was history.
Well, that is is not the biggest surprise actually. My best friend for years left the Philippines and went to California for good. After 4 years he contacted me. He told me he decided to stay in the US despite of the fact that he hated it because he got no choice. He needs a life. He said,†The day you left for the United States, that was the day I was stupid and coward for letting you go.â€
I broke down and cried… That was the biggest surprise of my life that until now I am wondering how our wonderful friendship ended up because we ignored what we feel.
Too darn late!!!!!
