home
i miss home more than ever. i ache for the seamless familiarity and depth it brings. eight months of not riding a jeepney can really bore a hole to a person's soul =)... i miss home...i miss my angels... i miss the simplicity of life... i miss playing frisbee out in the streets with manong pedikab driver tooting his horn as he passes by carrying a family of four. i miss manong magtataho. i always look forward to his melodic voice on saturday mornings as he shouts at the top of his lungs, "taaahoooooooo!!!" then, my angels and i will come darting toward the door carrying our mugs as we paint a big wide grin in our faces to welcome his coming. i miss rummaging vintage clothes in ukay-ukay digs. i miss SM more than ever. i miss jollibee. i miss gazing at the majestic view of mt. apo every morning. i miss davao. i miss my nanay and tatay. i miss zaila. i hope that the knowledge of having a greater purpose to serve in a foreign land (at the same time serve my country) will be enough to suffice what i am missing in my life and will give me strength in spirit to continue...

my dear, you know I can relate to the feelings. I recommend you do this for yourself. Buy one of those DPF's (Digital Photo Frames). Gather all (And I mean all the photos you love so much about home, family, places you miss and want to be surrounded with)and put them in a memory stick suitable for your DPF. When you are at work or at home (yes you can take them anywhere too)just keep the photo fame close by and on a slide show over and over again. You will notice a change in your energy level. You will start feeling (with the images of love ones and home) constantly playing over and over, that you are not so far away from home... I think I will take a photo of my DPF and post it on my blog now - just for you so you can have an Idea what I'm talking about. Wish I had this long time ago when I just arrived in October 2004. It's worth it.
