International connection
Ever since my brother had left for Dubai, he has been ringing up the numbers in his fonebook, usually during dawn. All our badminton buddies have been asking me last night if I knew the number that kept appearing in their missed calls list usually during dawn time. LoL.
Between the Philippines and Dubai, there is a 4-hour differential between the time zones, with the Philippines being ahead by 4 hours. His missed calls usually are at 2AM, and I am thinking that this is usually the time he gets home from work. Whenever I’d still be awake, I make sure to text his roaming Smart number. I guess it is his way of coping with loneliness out there in the desert. I hope he can get a laptop soon, so that we can talk more on Skype.

Speaking of the economic crunch, I came across a badminton buddy of ours while I was travelling home to Dumaguete last Saturday and from him I learned that the economic crisis was very much being felt in Cebu with thousands of people losing their jobs and many companies closing shop.
I admit I was quite oblivious to the whole situation thinking that what I heard on the news was more of the goings on in the international market, and that it was not that felt here. Boy was I wrong. Thinking of this, it made me think and be thankful that I still have a job. Thank you Lord.
