Surreal : Fare thee well

So here I am enjoying the warmth the night has to offer me. Sipping coffee and tuning to slow acoustics. Thinking about how surreal this is, how incredibly unreal this feels that I am about to embark on another one of the most fantastic adventures in my life.

For one thing, I never imagined how life would be like without my family and girl friends around within range. I am a person of close relationships and yes, I treasure my primary circle with my life. So this is definitely going to be an extreme breaking-out-of-comfort-zone experience. All the best to me…I anticipate being homesick in the second week and learning to manage it. (won’t be so bad if I anticipate would it?)

The holidays period had been fantastic though. I think I had adequate time to cherish time with people who matter, despite not being mentally prepared for this any earlier. I swear it did not hit me until last night that I will be leaving for (OMG) Europe today today today! Prior to last night, this whole thing had been merely an idea, just a thought waiting to be concretised. What is something I had been yearning for since I was a kid is finally going to come true? Pretty much.

And of course, I never mentioned this but since I was in secondary school, I’ve always had this secret desire to backpack across Europe on my own, alone, in a bid to search myself sometime when I’m “much older”. I guess some childhood wishes do come true.

On a lighter note, packing had been a chore over the past few days, and last night I actually had a battle with the suitcase as I sat on it in a WWE-slam style since the bag would not close. And conveniently today my brother walked into my room telling me I might as well do a second luggage to chuck some of the items bulging from the first one. Nice work right there huh. I’m not surprised I did not think of it myself. Definitely nothing new there. Haha!

Alright folks, you’ll be hearing from me as soon as I can get an internet connection there! In the meantime, pray that I leave and return to this country in one piece. LOL.

P/S: I step into this with a resolution in mind. I’ll let you guys in on it come June.
