Thank you Julia.

Reading her blog (http://juliainthephilippines.blogspot.com, tnx ciel :) ), i suddenly missed my old life in PI (kelan ko ba ndi namiss :P). Dati, kamatis at kanin, ok na kami. ngayon, kelangan may chicken rice =)Sometimes, we're so trapped with our own struggles, we forget that somewhere, at the same time, there's a different life being lived... mas selfless, mas committed, mas patient, mas may humility, mas faithful. Quote:""""In October 2006, with seven more months to go in her tour of duty, Campbell wrote about missing her family and "my old life." "It's been a rough road and I am hoping to finish, but I would be lying if I did not say that every day is a struggle. Time will hopefully fly quickly."Early this week, with the discovery of Campbell's body in Banaue, time instead froze for everyone whose lives she had touched in two countries."""Thank you Julia.




"I'd really like to say that I am one of those volunteers who just loves the Philippines. I don't. There are things I love, things I hate, but mostly I think that it isn't really possible to totally adjust to life here. It is just too different and it's too much pressure to be different (white) in a culture that is not diverse. It's funny, but next week I will speaking to the new batch of volunteers (Yes, I am a veteran now) about adjustment issues." - Julia's post in Isang Taon Na (One Year Already?) 8May2006
