Sweet simple things...

The day before I left my home country for Malaysia, Krista and I went to out to go to church and meet my high school friends. It was the last leg of meetups and despididas I've been having for the past two weeks. I fetched here from her house to say goodbye to her family also and to take some pictures we've had for the past weeks.

So she transferred some files to my USB. the folder's name was "vanilla twilight." Thinking it contained the pictures I asked her, I opened the folder and saw the pictures of friends' greetings and well wishes for my going to Malaysia. All the while I thought there was only one file there that I should read when I am already in Malaysia.

The supposed-to-be-surprise was at once revealed. So all the while, whenever she meets up with our friends, she would take time taking videos of them saying well wishes to me. Some friends whom she was not able to meet just sent their picture messages. all these files were contained in the folder she saved in my USB. She was supposed to make an AVP out of it but because of busy-ness, she was not able to.

As I was watching the videos and reading the messages, I really felt loved and special. It was the perfect confidence-booster a person leaving home for a while could ever have. So I'm really thankful to Krista for such a wonderful idea. It's a very simple yet touching act she made.
