where is this sun you speak of?

 Dear FutureMe, It's almost a month since you left for Philippines! Times runs soooo fast. You had a very, very good time back there. Just how it should be except that you see things in a different perspective now. Guess it's better to be far away from home for a while to forget the family drama that only exists in your head. You missed everyone and I'm sure it was a challenge to spend time with everyone but looking back I think you have done your best to meet them. It was totally fun. Totally worth it. 3 weeks felt short definitely but it was packed with fun so it's just enough. Well, more than enough actually. Going back here in Dubai, you start to miss everything and everyone. Life back there is definitely better than being here. But then again you need to be here to work and build a career. To develop not just your bank account but your life experience. I would like to think that it should be a balance between working and having fun - I feel better thinking this way...

Me, Changi Airport July 2017, In the wee hours of the morning waiting for my flight to Dubai Reading - For One More Day by Mitch Albom. This book was given to me by Eileen on the day of my departure from Davao to Dubai. (She was able to go past through immigration, with the help of our high school friend Jeehu, who works there, and spent the time with me in the boarding gate! How awesome is that? She is just the sweetest!)  I have not read much of it though but so far I am expecting something unusual about this story (compared to what I always read) as it is about having a chance to fix something that happened in the past. Writing - something about professional development goals. It is nothing formal though it is a personal thing that I wanted to do for so long - it is just a review of my career after two years of happily working as a Web Support Executive. There sure were a lot of things that I am proud of and a lot of skills to want to learn more. Listening - to nothing ...
