Back to home
I know! Since the last time I wrote something here, it has been passed more than 3 months!
During this period, I had with you and Gabriel, a splendid vacation time in the Philippines.
I discover that I love you (but this isn't a news) and also that I love Philippines. It is easy to fall in love there with the people, with their way of life, with all the fantastic things you can see, the beautiful places you can visit, the splendid sea around the islands, the warm climax even when it is raining.
You are right when you say that Philippines have an "easy life". How many things we consider "useful" and "necessary" aren't necessary and useful to live there? Sure, if you have also there is good, but you can live also without. Here you must have the latest cell phone, the navigator in the car, the lcd TV or plasma one, a PC, a fast internet connection, a washing machine, may be a big car.
There? it is enought a cell phone that can send SMS oe MMS, internet isn't for all people because there isn't land phone, I didn't see any plasma or lcd TV (only some computer screen), you don't need navigator to travel: there are only few roads and sometime only one! Washing machine is for rich people and for those one don't have too much time (if they have money for buying it)
There is a thing that we lost: the time to do everithing. There, no one is in rush. You cannot tell to a friend "see you tomorrow at 5pm" but only "see you tomorrow"! You will meet him for sure, but you cannot know exactly when, at what time; you can say "around 5pm"
If you don't have a car and have to travel by bus, you cannot know when the bus will pick up you. You wait, soon or later a bus will arrive but you cannot be in rush! You have the time to look around you, to see the mountains or the sea, to see farmers with cows, to watch the sun set.
People is always moving but never running!
Here people is always running, losing the things, small or big around us. You don't have the time to look in the eyes of the person in front of you! there yu can have also the chance to talk to him about the shopping!
I like there and I have only one more goal in my life: to go there to live!!
I'll be back with a report about our vacation and some images of it.
I love you Bing!
