I guess it's too late for me to say "Happy Independence Day, self!" and it's kinda inappropriate too. Well, I don't really feel completely happy with the thought of being independent. Maybe others would feel lucky that they don't have their parents or family on their side but I'm not one of them. So yeah, kuya and I just got back here in Cavite last Monday. But before we left the US territories, we took the chance to visit daddy's cousin in LA, have a stroll at Citywalk/Universal Studios and the Walk of Fame as well. As usual, it seems surreal getting to all those places I thought I would never reach. Like, I feel so blessed having a very hardworking father who made us experience all of these. It's just sad that things are temporary.
I believe I took the heaviest step of my life in LAX. The moment I got my boarding pass, there's a sudden feeling of emptiness. I cried a bit while waiting for us to be checked-in. I cried on the plane. (So now, I know how hard it is for an OFW to be leaving his/her family.) I also cried when we got home. That's how sad I am. But right now, I'm trying to cope up. Aside from adjusting to time zone and weather, I'm also coping up with heavier responsibilities like doing chores at home and most importantly, aim on getting better grades.
I don't expect for something great to happen this semester. I just hope that things will be lighter.
PS. But independence is teaching me to be more responsible, I guess. :)

- Fun.
This blog was created August of 2008. Putting up an account here wasn't really on my plans. It's just that I was so crazy about Chris Tiu before and he runs a blog so I thought of creating my own as well. Years have passed, and I have grown yet I still keep my personal stuff here. Yes, things may change but one thing's for sure -- I will continue running this blog as long as I can.
