To be grateful is no doubt a virtue!

I remember the first time I came here to Thailand.Stayed at Toto’s place before together with Juvy. The three of us then sharing everything we have— Juvy’s fried chicken (yummy) and soya milk (sad my tummy couldnt stand the taste) Toto’s bread and condensed milk(d2 ko lng yn natikman); and of course my tuna sandwich (na nangamoy sa loob ng ref hehehe kya binuksan ko ang bottle ng charcoal powder, sorry na Juvy hehehe). It was a short time but I would be forever grateful for that chance to be with them. Couldn’t imagine having survived without them. They’re important reminders that in a country away from home a "kababayan" will always be a "kababayan" who would help you in time when you need one. So thank you guys.

When I moved to Uttaradit. I met some "kababayans". We had fun hanging out. We even moved in the same apartment…mind you even same floors…so that we can just be there for each other in time when we need help. We would sometimes go and have dinner, the three of us sometimes to my place or sometimes to theirs. We were happy sharing and helping each other.

But I felt sad now, when I got the news. What could have been wrong with the way we treated you to deserve such things as you’ve said behind our backs? Perhaps the only wrong thing I did was I made myself a willing and ready victim for a suckling parasite like you. Just a bit of advice…learn how to look back and remember those faces and hands who helped you when you couldn’t even afford to put food in your mouth. Tsk…Tsk…Tsk..wasted friendship!
