Modern technology

I can't believe I've been away from my country for most my life. I left in 1993 right after college and I've only been able to visit 3 times, most recently in September last year. It was just a 2-week vacation but I had so much fun that I decided to do it every 2 years. I still keep in touch with most of my high school and college buddies. Some of them are living abroad as well, but those who are still in the Philippines are still pretty much a part of my life. We communicate regularly, thanks to the internet and the beauty of video conferencing. We are up to date with one another and are able to nurture the friendship through the years. Thank God for modern technology!
