I came here in January of 2001 and I haven't been back home since, why? for so many reasons. First, most of the Filipinos I have met would advice me not to go back for it will be hard for me to come back (mostly because they probably had a bad experience), second, going back to Manila will cost so much money!!! and applying for visa takes awhile. Anyways, a week ago I finally reunited with my older brother "Marion" in Lake Las Vegas. Besides teaching ballet and choreographing dance he is also a Choreographer/Coach for the Aerobics Gymnastics team in the Philippines that brought him here. I was psyched to see him and both felt emotional about it. Strip Vegas was fun but I just wish that he could have more time to stay so I could show him around NYC and Washington DC, he would have loved it here.
