Finally, I'm home

philippine bracelet

Bought the bracelet (for my personal consumption) in a souvenir shop in Abu Dhabi a week ago while scouting for additional last minute pasalubongs.

By the time this post gets published*, I’m probably recovering from lack of sleep due to my sidetrip the past few days. I badly need to get recharged, err, re-energized. My whirlwind scheduled (and definitely the unscheduled ones) activities will officially start tomorrow.

I’m not particularly in Manila right now. But I’ve been playing this song in my head and is in my playlist the past weeks. I’ve never really appreciated this one before, I used to find it baduy. But believe me, once you’re based abroad and you heard this out of nowhere, you can have goosebumps + joy + cute homesickness.

*last of the three posts that I drafted (before leaving Abu Dhabi) to be published as scheduled

    jo, welcome home! I am glad you came home for the Christmas season, many people don’t experience Pasko like the Philippines does so they don’t understand what it feels to be Christmasing in your own home. Thanks for the very nice Christmas card you sent me. The message hit me good. Thanks very much. God bless and Enjoy your Holidays!
