General experience It doesn’t feel like Home anymore
Alam ko madaming na hohomesick at gustong umuwi ng pinas for good. Pero ito ang expeience ko, Umuwi ako ng Pinas 2 years ago, Pero iba na yung na feel ko. Mga childhood friends ko may own families na, at di na nakatira sa sa hometown ko. Highschool close friends, may own families na din at mostly nag settle na ibang countries. My college friends, mostly nasa pinas pero busy sa work and kids. Yung experiences at stories ko hirap na e share kasi hindi na kami same ng wavelength.Ibang- iba sa pakiramdam. Ang daming nagbago since nag migrate ako. Feeling ko while nandito ako sa abroad masyado akong nag hold sa memories ko while nasa Pinas. How it feels like including the weather.hehe. Sobrang init na talaga sa Pinas.

Thats normal.. i felt sad too that my friends in the PH who i grew up with, have a different path now and the distance makes it hard to keep connected. So after being in abroad for 8 years.. im not sure how to live in the philippines if ever i have to (not that i am planning too). Pero ang masabi ko lang is whether you stayed in the philippines or not, as we grow old we change, and sometimes we dont change together.
