I remember that he went to work with a non-governmental organization in Asia for a semester and that being the young naive teenagers we were, we decided that it would be worth it to wait.
But what can you do when you hear about news that Typhoon Ketsana directly hit the city that they are staying in? All you can do is email and ask if they're alright because you have no other way of contacting them.
But you can smile when you wake up one day to a text message sent from a prepaid phone to your own, saying that they miss you and are thinking of you. And you can smile a little bit more when there's a surprise in your mailbox on your birthday.
Because there's a 13-hour time difference and every message you get is almost like receiving a message from the future.
