Jared

HAHAH. i'm actually here! sometimes it's really hard to believe. like when i'm walking on the streets, and seeing the stars... strolling on the mall, and seeing jeepneys outside! seeing filipinos all around me. feels so good to be here.

it's not like i've been gone for more than 5 years... but still, nothing compares to my own country. although it's crazy most of the time, i'm still proud of it.

so i came here last august 7... on a rainy day, like the last time. and spent my week preparing for jared's birthday. but i couldn't see him yet because of the flu scare. and his birthday came by, successfully, with my brother's help, and mom also ;) it was fun, and it was fun for me too because i always liked organizing parties.

Philippines

listening to Celine's ALL BY MYSELF :)


i'm really all by myself right now, coz they are asleep already, and my brother's outside with his friends. it's wednesday, and if there was ever a time when i feel like time is moving so s-l-o-w, this must be one of those. must be favorable, but i'm just really bored.

i have always been anticipating about this for so long, and now it's happened, i know i am happy. but i want to go home. but i love being with my grannies. i love spoiling them.

(it's all coming back to me ... now...)

pwede? (sigh)

so i've been here in the Philippines 12 days and so many thing has happened.

interesting day...

Bahrain

i got people asking me WHY?


to begin with, i resigned last Monday, with all the best intentions in mind. (kidding)

so when the news came out that i REALLY was going home (coz i have been telling them, but they won't believe) all i got was WHY?! you have a nice life here, it's better here than in the philippines. and a whole lot of speculations, one of which, of course, is the unending tale that i am pregnant (how i wish i were), which sometimes go down to i will be having an abortion. crazy, right? that's how it is here in bahrain. i thought gossiping was filipino's past time, how'd you guess other nationalities do best? or worse? (whaev)

so i had a list of REASON WHY. and WHY SO SOON, two-page enumeration of those two. well, it saved my time and sweet saliva.

i had men actually threatening to hunt me down in the philippines, when i don't wanna give them my address and number (like, why?!) and one boy (okay, a man who acts like a little boy) ho actually cried. oh i broke his heart :( poor thing.
