Far Away from Home...

I asked for it and I got it… this has been my first time to be away from my family and my hometown for a long time… and I was so excited and at the same time nervous… thinking ‘hey, I’ll be on my own now…’ I am now responsible for every action that I’ll take hence, I’m really really grateful for this opportunity.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long coz I want to be independent, to grow as an individual and try to learn more about myself and life… but I won’t be able to do it if I won’t go away… away from them (my family)… far from them who sustains all my needs… I just hoped that this experience would help me to be matured enough to make my own decisions and be a responsible individual….

FIRST WEEK away from Home..

I was somewhat surprised as I arrived at this City... seeing a bunch of noisy tricycles on the main road (like they were on a race track or something like that…) later on I figured out that this is their way of transportation here… No traffic lights and no route to be followed…

I've been to this City for a few times but never stayed for more than one day... I love to travel and I've been into different places already eversince I was a kid... Sometimes we just passed at this City and never thought of staying or living here but now here I am trying to fit in... trying to make each day a memorable one...

I thought that the brown-out that happened in our office one night was just an accident, but when it happened almost everyday (men! What a city!) I dunno but it’s really irritating when you were so busy working and all of a sudden ----------- brown-out! ggrrr… do you agree with me? Anyways, the city’s clean though and my officemates were nice… but my problem is…. *secret* hahahaha….

SECOND WEEK…

Everything’s going smoothly for this week though the brown-out’s killing me, plus our staff house sooooo quite... no television, no radio *sigh* (can you live with that?) It's a good thing that I brought my mp3 with me this week or else I'll be going crazy over by the silence of the night...

THIRD WEEK…

Men! I got LOST!!! All the tricycles that I had stopped don’t know where DC TECH is… and there’s this one tricycle driver who just get me going on circles around the city… I thought he know where it is… grrr…. So I went off to his cab and try to walk for a few minutes, trying my luck that maybe… somehow… I could find it but then I didn’t… felt hopeless so I go on to my next destination until I reached our office… I was really pissed off that day that I wished I was just in Davao… but too bad I had to face the reality that I am actually here… On my way back, I kept on thinking about what I really wanted before I was here and now that I had it, it’s seemed like I want to back out… but then I thought ‘what the heck .. I’m already here then so be it!’ Fight.. fight.. fight.. hahaha...
