It's been long since I last posted. Man where does the time go? It's been a busy few weeks mainly involving a significant lack of internet access due to 1. Working and studying “on and in” school. Last night when I arrive to our house in Marbel, my two nephews welcomed me warmly and secretly searched my baggage for pasalubong. It was good to be missed.

I felt comfy than ever while sitting on it. And within minutes had my dog named white , barking on me, bad, he did not recognize me easily until I called his name.

Unlike any other day that I had, this feeling inside me keeps on growing each day. Feeling homesick might contribute to this feeling. My not so good work management on things I have to finish might tired me to death. Too much commitment might intoxicate me to feel this way. I told myself that I was strong but I was wrong. I thought that I was superman who can do everything but my alter-ego so powerful to weaken me as human being only. I realized that not all things in life are meant to be. Life is meant to be.
