it's gonna be a bright, sunshiny day

six months ago today, i left for guam to start another "chapter". although not by choice, i welcomed the move with excitement to no end. the mystery of the unknown is a thrill to explore. never mind the threat of uncertainty; am i not used to big challenges! besides, the idea of travelling is enough to amuse me to great heights (hay.. i miss my 'saudia airlines' days.. wish i can fly again; say once more "welcome aboard, sir/ma'am!".

until God knows when, this place alien to me shall be what i will call home.

at present, i take pleasure in dealing with nice people, and the kind traffic.. clean beaches, fresh air.. simple living, blissful haven. i regard such wonders with awe, and frankly, it’s beginning to look a lot like a song..

I can see clearly now the rain is gone,

can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.

what sweet blessings that my country of birth can’t provide to my dismay..

why, then, do i feel the void that bothers me somehow? is it impatience on the gift of belongingness that has yet to dawn unto me in this new site? am i troubled with the thought that, suddenly, i’m a foreigner, a tourist, a stranger! claim not, i may, that i fit in as of this time..

i long for the busy sight of that city that cuddled me for years. i miss its touch despite the pollution and the clutter. who cares what they report about manila.. i hold it dear to me.. sincerely..

but then again, this island, my current dwelling, is a promise to kyle for a better life; an issue i would not compromise, albeit there is sadness in my heart.

hey, what's the fuss? happiness is a state of mind; a choice we can take (or shall i say, fake?)..
it’s a matter of attitude --- i just need to bear in mind; need to sing a little more..

I think I can make it now the pain is gone

And all of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is the rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day

ok, ok.. i shall choose to be jovial.. and so i am.

at least for now, it's gonna be a bright, sunshiny day.
as life goes on..
