Yawn... I'm still sleepy. Woke up pretty early today. I no one told me the color coding scheme was suspended. Which reminds me, why do they call it color coding? I don't see any colors which traffic enforcers can code. I think my brain's just saturated enough. My head ache is killing me. Darn weather makes me want to go home and just sleep.

Read an article today from a website my friend sent me. It was about that whole issue with 19% of the Filipinos not wanting to stay in the Philippines anymore. To be honest, I have always considered myself a man of the world hence, anywhere is just fine by me. But I still have my bias for American living because I have experienced it. Having worked there for more than a year made me see what the hoopla about the U.S. was and it did seem like a better life. It was great for me since the company shouldered housing and transportation (a car or public transportation when I lived downtown). Me and a room mate lived in a nice townhouse/apartment type place and would sometimes have parties for our officemates there. It was a great experience for me. Weekends would usually be spent at the mall shopping our hearts out. At night, it would be off to the city and paint the town red. Uhm... not quite. It's usually just me and friends from downtown who I hang out with when I'm out and about.

However, I ended up appreciating what we have here more. Hmmmm... I'd have to rethink that last statement. He he he... Seriously though, I enjoy the small perks of being an upper middle class citizen here in the Philippines. I can't say the same for the one's on the threshold of poverty. Sometimes, I feel badly about how my "brothers and sisters" are coping with their situations. Makes me want to think about what I can do as a simple citizen of the country.

Ok, I'm way over myself now. I'm not good with expressing serious emotions in words. So I'll drop it at that. I might end up saying something I might take back later on.

I miss my honey. Love you so much!
