Meetup with a balikbayan friend.

I've been regularly meeting up with people I've become friends with online, pozzies and otherwise. Last friday, I've met up with a friend who was coming home from Abu Dhabi. He gave me pasalubongs: chocolates from the middle east, and a book entitled "Chicken Soup for the Unsinkable Soul".

Inside, I found a short hand-written message:

"Always strive to be happy."

Thank you very much, C. Having friends like you around me makes me happy. :)
