Before I came to Cebu for work I didn't know it's going to be this lonely, I'm originally from Davao by the way. There are times that I feel the longing for my friends and family, the good and bed times we'd have, the constant arguing with my brother, the sleepless nights programming our project. I really miss those days.
In the past I have been away from my family countless times, sometimes even months at a time, but I didn't felt lonely. Maybe because I'm with my friends to keep me company or something else. Maybe in those times I know unconsciously that I will come back home soon, that's why I didn't felt lonely, or maybe some other reason.
Being alone in another place without having anybody count on to prepare food for you or wash your cloths is an eye opening experience for me. When I was still home, my father and mother spoiled me. They give whatever I wanted, prepared everything for me, those sort of things. Also I used to be spent, and I mean a lot. I asked for money for a lot of useless things. Now that I'm earning my own money I have to be carefull on what to spent, because if I don't I won't have enough to buy food.
God really does work in mysterious ways. I'm very thankfull for Him giving me this experience.
I really can't wait to go back home to be with my friends and family...
