in the matters of the art of venus, everything is ok. there have been ups and downs like in any long standing cooperation of sorts. it's been good since we've been able to weather the downs and have come back with tenacity and passion.
it's break time here and i'm lazy as ever. there is much to do, but i can't seem to wrangle up the motivation to get anything done. i started some of the tasks i've needed to do, but they're still not done and i still have a ton to read. so, after a few more days, i'll try to get back on track.
every now and then, it feels weird to look around me and realize that i'm actually living in another country. this isn't america. this isn't hawaii or colorado. this is quezon city, philippines. although there are some things that are similar, there are still a lot of things that aren't the same and just won't be. there is admittedly, a lack of quality in many of the products here. but that's ok. however, a major problem is the fact that money flows like water here. although things are relatively cheaper here, you end up buying things at a faster rate. it's hard to explain, you'd need to actually experience it yourself.
many of my friends are back home in america. the things i miss most about being home are the quality of food back home, driving, and the driving range. life moves on, here and back home. the only constant is change. but i'd like to hope that things are changing for the better and that we're only improving.
