balik eskwela

As millions of students returned to school last June 1 Monday, I too returned to work that day. After 3 months in Taiwan, I thought it would feel so different to return to my desk, to my computer and to my job. But surprisingly, I felt nothing of that sort. I felt as if I left just for a week. Everything seems just the same. Or so I think. It was as if Taiwan was just a dream and Manila was reality. I just woke up from a dream, that's what I felt.

I believe I really enjoyed Taiwan, that is why I felt it was just so fast. But then again, I have to return to reality-- which if I may say so is not that bad. I thought I left work for a short time, but in truth it was 3 months. For my officemates, it was long.

Today Wednesday, I saw Maan for the first time since arriving in Manila. It was so weird seeing her. I mean, I always see her everyday in Taipei- from morning to evening. But seeing her in Manila, at the office at that, it seems weird, but good also. Everytime I see her, Taiwan keeps coming back. And no, we didn't talk in Chinese. hehehe
