Living in a place other than, or away from your hometown is definitely a journey. It's exciting and gives you the feeling of wanting to explore. But all these elation will dissipate. Before you know it, you are missing home. Exactly what happened to me.
Staying in General Santos City for a while is a blast for sure. Having to experience Mindanao in a very different point of view as compared to just seeing it only on television. It's peaceful.馃槉
So many things I've missed from my hometown, La Trinidad. First thing for sure is the weather.

It's definitely colder there. I mean, does anyone ever get use to hot weather? Honestly, I always complain about how hot it is...sometimes..too much馃槵...heeeh!
I miss wearing jackets, scarves and boots. And the bed time snuggles. The loud screams in the shower because of the cold water. Haaha And, being able to see my breath. Lol!
The veggies. Ohh! Having most vegetables available for consumption is a thrill. And not the soggy or almost rotten veggies. These are fresh veggies, sometimes even straight from our farm!
Strawberries. Yum! I actually grew up with strawberries in our farm. I got so used to it, I don't even eat it anymore. But, it's been so long since I had a bowl of strawberry salad, and I'm craving馃構.
And, of course, I miss my family the most. Most of them work and live there. It's a little bit difficult living afar because I'm used to having them around, especially on special occasions.
Nowadays, getting together with our loved ones is always a challenge. So, whenever we have a chance to go home, we always do!
And, I'm so excited to go home this April! Excitement overload! 馃槉 Wuhooo!馃槀
