Life in Los Angeles hadn't been so great. My neighbor's car was stolen. There was another drive by shooting in my neighborhood. The economy is tanking. All I dreamed about was going home, moving back into the house that I designed and built. I remember buying the tiles for the floors, the bathroom sinks and faucets. I decided on every inch of this house. I was so happy there. I want that feeling back. Give me back that feeling! My youngest son was now 21 and had a job. It was time. Time to go home.
So… now… where do I begin? After 13 years of living in Los Angeles, CA, I've decided to pack my bags and move back to the land of my birth, my home in Antipolo, Rizal in the Philippines.
