Right when I got off the plane, I was immediately like, “uhh, this is the most Filipinos I’ve seen ever!” They all laughed, but I guess this is the start of my time and rediscovering the culture I grew up in. For now I feel more like a visitor visiting another country, but I do hope that during the trip, I find something that will connect me back to my homeland. Whether it be seeing my family for the first time in 12 years or eating the food that I dearly miss or the things I see to serve as memory helpers…
UPDATE: I just had a lansones.. Right before I had it, I had forgotten how it tasted like and once I put it in my mouth, a burst of flavor and memory came over me and it was awesome. Eek! Thank you Jesus for that simple experience!
Overall, I am excited, nervous and tired all at the same time!
