Catching Up! and back to blogging...

4 days and counting from when I have landed home...
I still have jet lag, I have only been sleeping for about 4 hours everyday (Oh God when am I going to get that good night's sleep) but still im feeling great and have tons and tons of energy.

The reason: Catching up!
Old friends, Old Stories, Good times..It's been fun talking and recalling what you have the done in the past through the eyes of your friends. Too many good memories from my childhood and High School days, I guess it's true that people don't ever forget their happy thoughts and that it's stuck in your mind and soul forever, hopefully that's the case, so when I grow old I can still sit back and recall these happy thoughts.

So far I have been going out a lot and chilling with the people that are closest to me, and everything is a blast. The occasional beer brings out stories that has been planted on peoples mind and is ripe for the picking when hanging out with your buddies. It brings the thoughts off never really wanting to grow old, and if you could just relinquish and savour every moment that has passed where everyone including you where you and your buddies had the time of your life... ah good times!

D Blog:
I promise to write as much as I can, take lots and lots of pictures and review and rate lots and lots of places and food, so interested readers who are not able to come here and experience this things for themselves will have a taste of what to expect if they ever decide to visit. Fortunately I am one of the lucky ones who has the opportunity to travel and eat a lot and I will openly and honestly share my experiences with you.

D Philippines:
I will try to highlight the beauty of the "Pearl of the Orient". It's pretty weird, but I consider myself to be a tourist in my own country, it has been far too long since I have returned home, and there are a lot of new places to explore, food to taste and friends to meet, enough to paint the picture for you and indulge like you are in the adventure itself =)

Home is where the Heart is (at least half of it)

Howdy...

informal blog, ahhhhh this all seems so weird to me, I havent written any thoughts for a while and it feels like a year since I last updated my blog. I may still be recovering from writers rust but here we go...

A lot of things have been happening to me, ups and downs, good and bad, here and there, the works. Changes have been a huge deal and so far I am trying to get used to a major major change that can alter the course of my life and that is me moving back home to study.

Was it the right thing to do? Yes I had my doubts, everything was going great for me back in my second home, so why the big decision to move back home? It's complicated, but honestly speaking, me heart never really left home in the first place. The company of my old friends, the house I grew up in, the familiar places and feelings that makes someone giddy inside, it's all coming back and that puts a very big smirk on my face.

Still I can say that I am not second home sick, second home referring to California. I would be lying if I said that I don't yearn for the warmth California sun and seemingly everyday perfect weather, college people and the comfort of family.

But still this decision was made by me, because my gut tells me that in the end I will eventually succeed and be happy. I know I was very selfish, but this is for the best and I just have to trust my instincts on this.

My state of thought is still unstable, it's probably because of all the rush of things that are sinking in and the reality that I have to do this no matter what befalls me or what ever lies ahead to take on the path of a meaningful and fruitful future. I consider this as a journey to Nirvana with twist and turns, that hopefully I will be able to handle.

To everyone that I have left behind I deeply miss you all, I will be back someday but for now I have to do this, and I promise that I will. Props to all the advice and support!
