look who's bloggin' now

say hello to the newest blogger in the family!

not only does he have this blog, but this one too - which he says is a watered-down version of his angst hehehe.

i was surprised by aldo's post today. i'm the great equalizer of testosterone in our team since i'm the only girl, and i've been telling him about how the guys i work with are such guys - porn surfing, mpegs, male conversations about girls and all - and didn't realize he'd feel that strongly against the environment i'm currently in.

i don't blame him though. for someone who's literally a world away, it's not easy when your wife asks you one day if men really talk about women as if they're meat (or concubines), and if men really share porn -- all because that's what she sees and hears on a daily basis.

it understandably pulls protective strings because how do you protect someone if they're a different day away?

the only way we've managed all these years is to feel angry/sad/frustrated about the situation and let the other person handle it -- and hope (and pray) that things will be alright.

and that, folks, is just one of the many facets of a long distance relationship.
