I haven't been back to the Philippines since 2003.
I was 14 years old, freshly graduated from Catholic school, and making a trip back to the motherland with my family before I embarked on my high school career.
It was all just a pretty blur.
I remember...I stayed at Tita Liz's fancy air-conditioned house in Pasig City. The house sat in a private, gated community, among other houses of its kind. All of my free time was spent watching TV, exploring the bajillion mega malls in Manila, or eating dinner at fancy air-conditioned restaurants.
I don't remember...heat, hunger, discomfort, struggle...reality.
This summer, I hope to be exposed to reality.
