that’s what i end up saying a lot. because I will be here for a while. by here, I mean quezon city, the philippines.
when I meet cool people, and then we try to find a day to hang out again, but nothing in the near future looks like a possibility, I say:
“oh, that’s okay…i’ll be here for a while! We have plenty of time to hang out later.”
when filipino people tell me that I absolutely have to do XYZ while I’m in the philippines, i also say:
“well..you know, I’ll be here for a while, so I’ll get around to it at some point. “
when I get really homesick, i sigh, and think to myself:
“i’ll be here for a while…so i guess i’ll just make the best of it!”
and then i decided to start a blog, because 1) dama told me i should (and dama is one of the coolest people ever, so I always listen to her), and 2) so that my family and friends know what I am up to here, the things I am seeing and learning.
