Too small a world

Friendster has just made me realize that the world is just too damn small!

When I opened my Friendster this morning, I had a message from a long lost friend from high school. We haven’t been in touch for more than a decade now, only to find each other at Friendster!

I looked at our network and I wasn’t surprised that he was also connected to my other guy friends here in Manila, but I was shocked to see that he was in The Buddy’s list and in a friend’s husband’s list who is in Georgia.

I texted The Buddy to ask him about it. Since Sunday, we’ve been very surprised with how small our circle is. One of my ABS friends is an ex-girlfriend of his pal in Frisco, and now this high school friend of mine turns out to be a college buddy!

Some of my friends don’t know each other. In fact, they are so far off since some are here in Manila, others in the US. Nevertheless, there is always a networking of friends.

When I was in Thailand, a girlfriend who tagged along told me that it’s never safe to have a one night stand in Manila since everyone knows everyone. If she wants to have one, she said she’d have it in another country.

Heeh - I guess even that isn’t safe anymore, huh?
