i haven't written for a while.

so please excuse my babble.

i am close to the month when i will again depart for the other side of the world. it is not easy peasy, having to reassess everything again and pocketing memories for me to keep. leaving everyone behind, having to endure winter..having to be dependent on other people to get around town. no more long walks or spur of the moment gimmiks. no more saguijo..again.

damn.

after everything that happened in just a few months, i feel that if i stayed...it might not be good for me anymore. so the universe is just kind enough to shake me out of my manila amore mode and get myself back on track in regaining my original purpose of coming home and coming back.

my auntie's perfume smells like my apartment back in Orange County..no doubt about it...it's a sign.

i write in calmness. the first since i stopped moving at a fast pace.

so.

i recently went to a briefing on what i would be doing as a temporary artist/employee for an animated indie film, that needs people for pre and post production work...and it has to be done in a span of 3 months. so i decided to jump at the chance to be a part of something that i've always wanted to do since i was exposed to animation (old school cell painting style at Philippine Animation Studio to Maya-too-difficult but dream on anyway.), back back then when i was a wee 13 year old.

granted, i know to others,it may seem like i would be wasting valuable vacation time before i pack up my bags again for The Other Side of The World in a couple of months, but i just had this incredible urge to DO SOMETHING. what use is my presence here, if i would sit on my ass just doing nothing and drink coconut juice the whole day? uhh, that would be too much. i would simply go crazy.

it is inevitable that no matter how much sabbatical soul searching i keep telling myself to do, the world of materialistic wonders and wanderlust often beckons, and i just had to succumb in the end. it is simply, simply too good to resist. and being surrounded by amazing, creative-driven individuals, also heightened my drive to expand as much as i could cram in my little head.

ay, it is too good to pass up.
