Impassioned Whatever. . .

I have never really been writing blogs because I was still more comfortable with my old-fashioned way of keeping a journal (yes, the notebook and pen duo). With this first blog, I do not expect that anyone will actually read it because I, myself, have only read not more than 10 blogs in the past. What changed my mind with this whole blogging thing though is… probably boredom.

This is my story in the last months…

By the end of March 2007, my employment with HR Recruitment of Sitel Baguio ended. My summer was one of the most unforgettable as I went to Cebu and Bohol. I was jobless for a while because come September, I’ll be going to the States to migrate. I had no permanent address because I kept on travelling around from Bicol where my Mom is, to Manila with my aunt whenever I needed to complete some requirements for migration, to Moncada: my Dad’s hometown, and to Baguio just because I can’t get enough of that place.

I have countless friends in Baguio and it is very saddening that I had to leave. Here in my new place, one of the main adjustments really is the absence of all familiar people. I do not have friends here. This could be one of the primary reasons that pushed me to start blogging– to reach out to my friends out there. Whether they’ll read this or not, don’t really care because it is all cathartic for me anyway.Thanks to technology, I do not necessarily have to be doubly sad.

In my less-than-2-months stay here in California, I have heard of deaths of friends already… one, a friend from high school, the other, a family friend. It just hurts a lot that I am not there.

Half of the world may be better than the Philippines in many aspects, but a home will always be a home.

Have to watch news pa…
