title: Back in Manila.
And back to reality.
I feel like Dagupan is just my wonderland, the place where I run to when I feel like getting away from the stress in the city. I feel like Manila is where I live now, as in permanently. I'm here almost 40 weeks a year. I'm not complaining though. It had been my dream to study here and I guess following your dreams has its disadvantages, too. I just realized how Dagupan is becoming more of a fantasy land. As much as I want to stay, I know I can't because the semester's starting again. The clock has struck at midnight. Reality awaits. Homesickness---it sucks.
Of course. Baguio.
But no need to be all dramatic. I mean, Dagupan's still in the same country as Manila. After graduation, it'll be much harder to control the nostalgia and---I hate to say it---the tears. I don't think I'm ready for a much bigger change in my life right now. But in one and a half years, I promise I will be. As of now, the only problem I need to prepare for is the new challenge of the new sem. I have to work extra hard this time. I mean it.
Dagupan, bye for now. Hellooooo, Mama-Manila!
