Missing u

With a beer in my hand trying to get some of my thoughts out in writing. I'm missing someone, badly missing someone. I've never thought that I'd be missing a person this much.
Our lives are so darn complicated, a continous love-hate relationship. Searching for things that would make us both happy to the point of irreverence. We continued to hurt each other with our actions never minding the pain we inflict upon ourselves.
But what's with these dreams...? Why do I dream about him each time I close my eyes. And each time I open all I could think of is going back? For all I thought this is what I needed. A separation from a world that revolves around him.
Why do I keep missing him when all I thought is escaping my wretched existence hiding behind his shadows all the time? Isn't this what I wanted? I begin to thought that this isn't the sweet escape that I have imagined.

Seoul Named Costliest City in Asia

Fact about Korea.


Seoul has been named the most expensive city in Asia for foreign residents.
According to statistics released Tuesday by global human resources consulting firm ECA International, Seoul has the highest living expenses for foreigners in Asia, and the seventh highest in the world.
Japanese cities edged down the list because of the depreciating value of the yen.
Lee Quane, general manager of ECA International Hong Kong said, "Five years ago, expatriates in Tokyo paid 35 percent more for basic goods and services than those in Seoul. But the stronger won has seen foreign expatriates living in the South Korean capital paying 10 percent more for the same items compared to their counterparts in Tokyo."
Tokyo was next after Seoul on the list, followed by Yokohama, Kobe, Hong Kong, Taipei, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore and Jakarta.

I'm back to Kimchi Land

I just arrived last night from Manila it feels nice to feel the cold breeze of Autumn, it's really refreshing...^^...
As the days get cooler and frost is in the air, deciduous trees and shrubs put on an autumn show in all shades of red, yellow, purple, and brown. The splendor of crisp fall days and vibrant leaves is truly breathtaking. One can sense a great feeling of relaxation while looking at it. It makes you appreciate God even more for creating such a wonderful phenomenon.
In daytime it's comfortably cool. come night time it's a bit chilly with cold gust of winds. Sometimes the temperature reaches 4 degrees celsius but most of time it's between 13-20 degrees.
Something about the Autumn air that makes me melancholic... For others it brings so many different emotions. People can suddenly become more romantic, gloomy, or jolly in seconds.
Something about the Autumn air that makes me so wanna see my family and just lie down on the bed with them, feeling them, and knowing that they are just near.

Leaving

It's time to leave Manila again, it makes me sad that I have to leave my loved ones behind. But with all the mishaps that had happened here, it kinda gives me the feeling that it's not so safe to be here anymore. I enjoyed my stay here though the weather is at it's worst.
I'm so going to miss Manila for sure!!! I'm already starting to miss the food. I loaded up on things to bring back to my friends, they wanted it to be authentic-filipino so I decided to get them some puto-seko, sampalok candies, pulvoron, yema, and dried mangoes.
Dried mangoes have always been a hit with foreigners. Something about it being sweet but not 'sugary' in a way, and to add it's chewy too. When some of my friends tasted sampalok candy (the ones wrapped in yellow cellophane~~) it reminded them of dried persimmons without the sour aftertaste. They think pulvoron is quite queer and they are amused that we Filipinos eat 'powder-like' snack. I felt that it's strange too but then nobody here thinks it's queer.
I thought about bringing some peanut brittle but I know that most of them can't handle the sugar-overload (way too sweet for their taste~~). Macapuno and pastillas are the same.
I'm going to miss so many things about Manila. I will miss even the noise on the streets, riding MRT which I consider is a great adventure especially when you are going to Makati on a Monday morning! I'll miss taho and pandesal for breakfast, nilagang baka and tinola. Most of all, I'll miss the feeling of being at home.
Ehyu, time to pack my things now~~~
