I used to know and meet friends who were able to find the love of their lives over the internet. I am actually no exception to that. But this post is not all about me. It’s about a friend whom I personally know who was able to find his girlfriend online.
It is common for us to hear stories of women falling inlove over the men they have met in the cyberworld. But this is a different saga. Rey is one of the most-sought-after bachelor in our church (wag nang komontra!). It took him a long time to finally meet the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
Like most long distance relationships, their friendship has evolved through exchanging messages at Friendster. I remember those few times when Rey would ask me to accompany him at a net cafe to give him some YM tutorials. He still had not met Irene then in the flesh. Apparently, he has managed to learn it on his own. We were both preoccupied with our own lives that I have lost track of what’s happening around me, or maybe I am just too engrossed with my own happy life that I forgot to ask how things were humming along for everyone.
And oohh, I was really busy with work too with the onset of the Synchronized Barangay/SK Elections. I was just too surprised to know in October of 2007 when Rey arrived from a 3-day vacation in Manila. He travelled to meet in the flesh his girlfriend of 2 months. That girl is Irene.
I am so happy for Rey because finally, he has found his perfect match. There were too many girls that were trying to capture his attention but he has that certain focus and determination to work while getting a degree at the same time and eventually help his family. For a time, girls were out. Not until Irene came. And she came from the same faith, too! This is more than a blessing for both of them. I can always see Rey getting online and talking to his beloved and I can relate to the feeling how diffucult it must have been for both of them.
As of now, Irene is back in Thailand. And Rey is all fired up in making all his dreams come true. Someway, somehow, distance is never the end of the world for them. It is just the beginning…
