Homeward Bound
I am now checking the passage of time, no longer by weeks or days, but by mere hours. Soon enough, I will be tugging my luggage to the train station and board the earliest trip to the airport. A few more tick-tocks and i will be cruising above the clouds. Then it will be home.
There are uncertainties to this trip, particularly with regard to my continuing stay in Japan, but truth is, I am not in any way concerned. I am just dying to be home – where life is how I want it to be. Add of course the fact that at Christmastime, there really can no better place but where your heart rests comfortably in the presence of relatives, friends and other loved ones.
See ya all folks!

Let me leave you some of the photos I took from our recent trip to Lake Inagako in Yamanashi Prefecture, as we tried to capture the last moments of autumn. I hope that with this set of pics, I would be able to convey the peace and calm that I hope we will all feel this Christmas.

Have a safe journey at sana matupad yung Dubai sojourn mo, so you’ll find out first hand, what’s life is like in The Sandbox.
nagsight seeing sa blog mo. nice shots!
Talaga naman! I think I said this before but it bears repeating: Paganda ng paganda ng paganda ang mga kuha mo ah. Christmas ang feel. Parang painting! Just wow!
I’m already excited to receive my Japan magnets (note, plural!) from you.
Welcome home, R-yo!
weow, the photos are perfect. parang sarap mag reflect sa lugar na yan. sarap tingnan ng paulit ulit. pwede pong pacopya? gawin ko wall paper ko hehehe okay lang?
anonymous: thanks! merry christmas!
Sidney: Thanks!
Blogusvox: Bahala na si batman. I’ll take things as they come, but surely, living in a sandbox must be an experience i’d not run away from.
Joshmarie: Salamat sa sightseeing.
sexy: ok lang po.

ang lunkot ng entry. pati yung photos. kahit maganda ang autumn pagdating sa nature, parang malungkot pa rin ang dating nya. at kitang-kita yun sa mga litrato mo.
uy nandito ka na malamang sa Pinas? sigurado ako mami-miss mo ang Japan at lahat ng pinuntahan mo. pero sabi mo nga, “I am just dying to be home – where life is how I want it to be. Add of course the fact that at Christmastime, there really can no better place but where your heart rests comfortably in the presence of relatives, friends and other loved ones.”
WELCOME BACK HOME!
