Well, today is my last night here in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I was born and raised in this country. Its kind of weird for a Japanese - Filipino girl to be born and raised in an Arabian country but I'm proud of it. I've met so many great friends and great people that has been a big part of my life. I'm thankful because even though I grew up here, I was raised knowing Jesus, what He did for me on the cross and why I need Him in my life. I'm a Christian. My dad is a pastor and my whole family are serving God. I'm very happy.
Tomorrow night, we will be off to the airport for our 1am flight. My dad will be left here in Saudi Arabia since he needs to do some important works that he can't leave just for a month vacation. Its really sad that we will not spend the whole summer with him and we can't celebrate his birthday with him on the 17th of April. I made a 2 pages letter for him and a small gift inside the envelope and planning to just leave it somewhere in his cabinet. And on his birthday, I'm gonna tell him to find something inside his cabinet and open it. I hope he will not read this? haha! Well.. that's my plan so he would not feel very lonely on his birthday. It may be sad but I know God is always with him and He will never leave my dad. Its the 2nd time I'm not celebrating his birthday with him. The first time was last year when I was in Philippines for college preparations. Time really flies so fast, I'm on my 2nd year in college this coming school year and with God's grace I will graduate from UST at the right time.
I'm happy and sad now. Happy because I will be able to come back to Philippines to meet my church, college and high school friends. Sad because I have to leave this place and my dad for the sake of my studies. It may be hard but I know I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me :D I know I can do this by His grace even though most of the times I feel lonely. It will pass. I just don't know what to feel right now. Mixed emotions -_-
Philippines, I'll be back! See you and I'll feel your hotness uhhhhgen lol
Despite of that, I still love you and I will always come back to you ;)
