Home away from Home
Monday, September 25th, 2006the minute i left for a foreign country i know i will miss home so much and home means mother and father, my siblings ang my cute pamangkins, my room, my desk, my officemates, my agents, my friends, my school and my archie….
it took a while to settle in. i still have a hard time sleeping and most of the time i cry in my sleep. don’t get me wrong, i really enjoy the place, the new environment and the exciting things happening in my life but there will always be times when you just miss home.
after a few months i made some new friends, really good friends. somehow, someway they made me feel that i’m home away from home. i have so many friends that there are times that it’s hard to fit them on my schedule. there are even times i have to turn down an invitation for lunch, dinner or going out because i made previous engagements already.
out of the friends that i made here there are two who stand out: lumi and meena.
thank you guys… i know there will be no way for you to read this but i hope that somehow i was able to show how much i appreciate your friendship.
meena is leaving in two weeks time. i will not be here to bid her goodbye. we promised to keep in touch and that i will visit india with archie but i know my office hours will not be the same when you go back to india. you made each day so much fun with our few minutes chikahan. i will miss our talks at the lake over a drink or our dvd nights in my place or your place. i hope you will still enjoy life after you go back home. i’m happy to share with you some great moments here in our home away from home.
