i know where my heart is

during my almost 5 months of being alone in america ... i realized a lot, i missed a lot of people, and i wasn't able to do a lot of things. i'm not saying that it's all bad but like what they say "you'll never know what you have until you lose it (them)". so, yeah, i know what i took for granted when i was in the philippines 6 months ago.

my lola's condition (which lead to her death) gave me the chance to be in the philippines again. i've been in manila for 15 days already ... i am so sure that my heart is still with the people here. some filipinos say that once you've been to america, you won't want to live in the philippines again. in my case though, that is sooooooooooo not true. i still want to live here and spend my days with the people here. i love the people, culture, practices, beliefs, places ... everything. (ok, maybe there are some things that i don't super love but those things are totally overshadowed by the positive stuff). i've been doing things that i love doing before ... i know where my heart is ... with the philippines =)
