There is no place like home...

I live half way around the world but I came to realize the life in the Philippines I have taken for granted...

An uncle said, living in a foreign land and in a completely different environment made me learn the value of MONEY, how fortunate we are to have what we want and to be who we want to be...

Because of my rebellious act of wanting INDEPENDENCE I left home...but I came to realize that getting that independence doesn't need to take someone to live half way around the world...

I am one of those " I want to go out of the country " citizen that president Pnoy said because I actually DO NOT NEED to go out of the country...

I wanted to live as normal as possible. I did not just left my country, I also ran away from the responsibility I cannot deny I am destined to do...


I have lived a boring life, a stagnant state of being over worked, unhappy and alone. Yes I am financially secured but still paying student debts...


I am going home...I am getting ready to go home


I am bringing my great plans home, my plan for a happy life, my social and familial responsibility that was let behind I will fulfill.


Ignorant people who stereotype the Philippines as a barbaric and God forsaken land ask me why do you want to go back there? Life is better here...


Here is my answer all the time...first of all MY life IS BETTER in the Philippines!
I do not want to die alone inside my apartment with my cat and being found dead after 7 days and decomposing...


This is what I learned, Philippines is full and rich with LOVE and HAPPINESS despite the poverty 

I AM GOING HOME AND BE THE CHANGE....
