Its been a while! I almost forgot that I had this blog. And yes Im still alive despite the fact that Im now living independently without my parents here in Canada. Thank you fast food, canned goods and microwavable foods for keeping me alive!
So I've been here in Winnipeg for almost 5 months. Got a good job at school. I can say its a dream job! So peaceful and less stressful compare to the previous job that I had. But sometimes I miss the challenges and the pressure from work. I really like having a difficult task because it motivates me to do better and makes my bird brain work. You know me, I really hate my brain being idle. I feel dumb if Im doing nothing. That's why I always read, play video games or watch tv/movies. And especially right now if Im just idle, my brain will just wander around missing my family, my dog and my friends. With that I will sunk on a depression mode and daydream of an alternate universe where Im living on Manila and doing my usual stuff back there.
I've been asked many times when do I plan to go back in Manila. And my answer is December 2013. That is my target date. Of course many things will happen, it might push through or not; I can go back as early or as late depending on the situation. I promised some friends that I'll go home with some conditions.
So how's my life here so far? Bored to death! If I said before that Singapore is the most boring city that I've been through, I take it back, its Winnipeg! My life here is just a cycle of sleep, work, eat, clean house(oh yeah! I know now how to vacuum, clean toilet, and wash the dishes), and do the laundry. Its been a wake up experience to me on how pampered I am. I really adore my mom and until now I don't know how she managed her time for us, her family. My mom does everything on our house; she cooks, she cleans, do the laundry, iron our shirts, and work for a living. And with me here, I really have a little time for myself. I always feel rob or cheated with time. My friends keeps on saying that I have to learn how to cook, and deep inside I really want to, but until now, I haven't cooked any single meal. I know if I really want to learn I can learn it, but I don't feel that its a priority besides there are fast food chains here and microwavable foods all I need is money. :-D
This is the longest period that I didn't have any travel. My wandering heart yearns to travel. Most of the time I find myself doing a mock booking on flightnetwork and sometimes going to Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines website. I miss the sun, the sweat and the beach especially right now that its summer in the Philippines. I miss my old lifestyle.
A friend of mine asked why did I go to Canada, and I answered "Because I can". Lesson that I learned here, just because I can, it doesn't have to be that I should do it. Did I regret going here? NO. I just wish that I have my sister;brother or one of my close friends here with me to lessen the boredom.
