It’s official. I’m impervious to jet lag. I spent my entire day at work whining and moaning about how much I would want to go home and go to bed yet at 1:30 in the morning I find myself still awake. ‘Guess I’m back to my old, unhealthy sleeping habits.
My day at work didn’t go as bad as I thought it would. Except for having to do a class at 1 o’clock and perhaps getting one of my completely less than stellar lessons evaluated by QA, everything went perfectly fine…plus I was pleasantly surprised to find out that people at work actually noticed that I had been gone for a couple of weeks (For all I know they may have been wondering whether I had been fired or at least suspended or something.) hahahaha! I know it’s silly…it’s just that I didn’t really think anyone would even notice…but some were actually interested in learning more about my trip *blushes*. Pardon me…my KSPEMO side is at work again :P
So how was my trip to the U.S.? IT WAS GOOD. Well it didn’t turn into my usually romanticized idea of going on a journey where at the end of the journey the pilgrim finds a sense of enlightenment…or comes of age…or is a reunited with long lost love or the mother or father or brother or sister they had been separated from for years…or unearths great riches and wealth…or maybe finds that one true love he or she had been searching for. Mine didn’t have any of the ending aforementioned…but I had a lot of good learning experiences. Here are 15 lessons and realizations I had from my 15 day journey in the US of A :P
I enjoy traveling by plane
Most people avoid things they’re not familiar with.
I will never fly with the airline I flew in again:
I am tiny in the U.S.
Ohio serves some of the best ice creams in the whole wide world.
New Yorkers are kind.
Picasso loves women with curves.
Seeing a Monet and a Van Gogh will really leave you breathless.
Going up the Empire State Building is anything but romantic.
I can proudly say that I know some of the best people in the whole wide world and I can proudly call them sister/brother, tita and friend.
My baby sis is all grown up now with a husband, a house, a career, her own circles of friends and soon, a little baby of her own.
You can’t just will for love to come.
Love will come when it’s time.
Someday, I will have a happy ending of my own.
I am blessed :D
