I can’t imagine living anywhere else than where I am right now. Contrary to what most people think not all Filipinos want to leave the country, I don’t. I mean, I know sometimes it’s hopeless around here and the living condition can really be frustrating that is why I can’t blame anyone who wants to leave and settle abroad. But I like it here, I’m comfortable and I’m living well and I don’t really need a reason to leave. What I would like to do is to travel and see the world. Before I got sick, I’ve been traveling everywhere and I used to be the kind of person who would just carry along my backpack, have some money and just go with the flow… I like the adventure of not knowing and it excites me to find out what’s out there. I remember hiking along my mountaineering friends in college, white water rafting on a river wild down south and so much more. But when I got sick, I spend most of my time at the hospital or at my room… I cannot go anywhere anymore and there were a lot of restrictions.
I am thankful that somehow Lupus is making me do some things that I like to do, I can travel again on my own and I sort of make up for the time I spent being sick and now it’s time again to see the world. Although I’m more of a plan-ahead traveler this time, nothing wrong with that right? I have big plans for traveling this year and finger-crossed hopefully I can go to New York, one of my favorite places in the world and I just can’t wait to see all of New York Sightseeing and surely I will have the best time of my life.
