How's everyone doing? I finally got wired again, after several days of stress [we haven't really started our vacation, we spent time resolving a lot of stuff I left behind, seeing friends and family, and preparing for the wedding--so why am I doing this again? :-)] and being disconnected from the internet and everything that is Vancouver.
I have to say, it's really strange to be back in Manila. I'm getting a sort of reverse-culture shock with a lot of things that used to be so familiar. I sorely miss Vancouver. I'm sorry, Vancouver is home to me now--I want to be away from the ceaseless noise and traffic!
My brother told me a huge part of myself needed to do this: in order for me to move on, I must go back and have my closure with the place I used to call home. Only then I can go forward and embrace the culture of the place I now call home.
How very zen.
I miss everyone--seems like yesterday we were bawling our eyes out at Compass. ;-) Hope to see you guys when I get back.
