he has been so busy preparing for his trip, attending to what's going to be left behind. his dual citizenship status has to take him away from manila for a month or two yearly. and it doesnt help that his parents are based in europe. he has to go there, too. he sometimes wonders whether he could really maintain a relationship. his last one fell apart because of all the distance. but with technology, distance should just be a state of mind.
he manages to check up on fb and was hoping he would catch matthew online the few times he does. he never seems to be online either.
until one day they manage to meet again in ym. and they started a loong chat, spanned hours actually. and he suddenly found himself even more intrigued by matthew.
back in the u.s., he lost no time in fixing up the house and settling in. and as soon as he had his broadband up and running, he was back to surfing to keep himself pre-occupied in between the lulls of client meetings. and he chanced upon matthew on ym. the chats became a regular fixture in his life in the u.s. they'd spend at least an hour or two. and considering the time difference, matthew must be some kind of insomniac.
suddenly, the days were brighter, despite the cooler weather now that spring has set in. he'd look forward to going online. then he started throwing the idea around with matthew that maybe, just maybe they could work on something. and matthew seemed to be agreeing.
