home is where the heart is

it's a mere five days before i finally go home. i haven't really been here in australia that long (only a month, actually) but i just miss home so much. some people actually ask me why i want to go back so soon. i even met some filipinos here in parramatta who encouraged me to think about staying here for good.

i've often thought about working in a foreign country. i always believed i could brave the loneliness and homesickness when the need arises. however, it never occurred to me to relocate. money-wise, there is no question where i would be getting a higher income. but the philippines IS home. and at this point, i feel like nothing can change that. it's disheartening to know that some filipinos do not feel the same.

the philippines might not be the best place in the world but it's where my heart is. wherever my job or my personal endeavors take me, i will always come back.
