Where is Home?

Very recently my chairman told me to "knock em dead and come home" kay on leave ra lagi daw ko from USC. I told him that I don't think I know now where my home is. He said, "Home is where the heart is. Bring the heart(s) to USC and you'll be home". I dunno..

I talked about this w/ Stephanie Coyiuto of PhilStar before. I told her home doesn't preclude a place, it is a feeling. She also had to confront this matter when in Greece.

I love the Netherlands and I have not been back. My God, it is at least 12 long hours from Singapore! I left it in 2001 and I have not been able to visit. Maybe I should think of going back. It was my 2nd home. We'll see.

Macedonia

I have this friend from Macedonia, a lawyer. Met him thru mIRC in October 97. He works at the Council of Europe office in Skopje, the capital of Macedonia. Just recently he sent email to keep in touch again. Wow, where did that come from? The last time I heard from him was in May 04 still, even before I left for Sing. Anyway, he said some of his friends went to Philippines and he was getting really nice feedback. In return I told him that indeed my country is beautiful and that he should come sometime in future. Let's pray for that to happen. All faith! :-)

Che

I received email from Jun Borras, the acknowledged leader of ISS Pinoys when I was there today. He's now w/ SMU in Canada.

Good news. He said Cheryll Soriano, batch next to us in ISS will be studying PhD in NUS starting this January. I'm happy coz this would mean I would have another friend in campus. I alrdy emailed her. Hope to see her soon.

Actually I picked her up from Changi Airport. Then I went with her to Bukit Batok to check out a possible place to stay. She's there now. She lives very near the MRT station but she said she's found a bus to NUS.

I don't always see her around campus but I'm happy she's here. I really need a friend. People from her dept are also doing a research in Bohol, they asked me for contacts. Her chair, Millie Rivera even gave each of us a coin purse from Puerto Rico, really cute.

We're quite busy these days. But we alrdy agreed to have lunch sometime. God bless us always!

New Year

Today is a good year for me according to my astrological chart. I was born in the year of the Rabbit. I hope so, but I am going to work for it! Good luck to us all in the new year.
