    For OFWs, mostly, but to anyone who has been away for a while...

    Apart from family and friends, and your car if you have one here, what do you miss?



    What do you NOT miss?

    Miss ko sa Pilipinas ay ang may katulong at driver..He he he..Hindi naman ako tamad pero pagbalik ko dito sa States,yun talaga ang nakaka-miss. he he he..

    Nakaka-miss din ang murang gastusin sa night-outs at restaurants. Yung inimbita ko mga batchmates from school and friends sa isang Japanese restaurant sa Cebu, P8,000 lang yata ang nabayad ko for 15 people with me...he he he..Dito sa States, tatlong tao lang yan...

    Hindi ko ma-miss ay ang pollution at traffic sa cities. Kasali ra rin nito ang transfers sa NAIA 1.

    when I was away from Pinas, ang pinaka na-miss ko sa lahat ay yung inuman namin magkakamag-anak during New Years eve, dati kasi every New Years eve nagkakatay kami ng kambing tapos inuman ang magkakamag-anak, parang reunion.

    Now that I'm home sila naman ang wala hahaha :bwahaha:
