Last week, a former officemate visited. He is in the country for a vacation. He works for an industrial supplies firm in the Middle-East that manufactures an ingredient for making plastic. We asked him if he brought “papaitan”, since he did not bring us any souvenirs or chocolates, which is his specialty dish. It turned out that he made one earlier and brought it to our previous division and he told them to inform us, those who have transferred, about it. I guess once you transfer to another office, you’re no longer priority. It’s the case of “out of sight, out of mind.” So we made him promise to cook just for us next time. He said he will bring on the 15th. I hope he won’t forget.
