2nd home



yep, i sure did! pinoy represent!
taking part in the elections yesterday was quite surreal. it was like an exclamation point to the citizenship process we went through last month. US citizen, but a Filipino through and through.


ah, i miss home. after all, my heart belonged there. 


but this is our home now. the present. and this home has been good to us through the 7 years i've been here. 


as i casted my ballot, i sent out a fervent prayer that things may get better .... for our kids, for our family and for our second home.

  1. i think its such a bittersweet prayer whenever we pray for our present homes, we also pray for our original homes..we know we will always belong there, but one foot also is in another soil=)

    lagi. no matter what happens or where we are, our thoughts and yearnings always go back to our homeland. oh, the results of the elections wasn't what we would have wanted, but we're hopeful .... must never lose hope.
