I won't lie. I miss the Philippines. I miss my home. Being away from it for a long time makes me linger on all the memories, the things I've done and what I will do when I will go back.. I don't want to sound conceited, but of all the places I've been...Philippines is the closest to paradise on Earth.
Philippines is a place where all the hues of color come together, where all the flavors blend in...it simply is a chance you won't dare miss...a visit that won't make a day dull.
