Tomorrow, I shall leave for New
York and begin the next chapter book in my enchanted life. Tomorrow! I remember
when the days still numbered more than a hundred and how I’d often wish that
waking up the following morning meant that the day of my departure has come. That
day is today! However, it has also become a seesaw between wanting to
haste/delay my departure.
In between doing nothing and
spending much time with my loved ones, the inevitability of being homesick has
already arrived long before I have even set foot in the Big Apple. No, I don’t
think I’d miss the hustle and bustle of urban Manila (especially commuting
during the monsoon season!) that much especially that New York is the
cosmopolitan behemoth.

Cliché as it may sound, the
aspect of Manila I would miss the most would be the people. My family, my
friends, Pathways co-staff, volunteers and participants and all other
significant people who may not fall within any of the aforementioned circles.
