"I'm coming home. I'm coming home.
I'm going back where I belong."
Don't know what the title is but I know it's from Fra Lippo Lippi. I'm winding up my stay here in Ilo-ilo. I am definitely going back in 2 weeks and start anew in a new project. A few months ago I was certain on going solo but my boss texted me last week about managing a 6-storey project in Manila. Didn't hesitate to accept his offer. The good thing is it's in Manila.
I was scheduled to fly home on April 4 but the owners here requested that I extend my stay till the 15th so that my turn-over won't be rushed. So I'm gonna spend Holy week here instead and now I'm looking for ways to keep me occupied for 4 days.

Good and bad.
In 3 weeks, finally, I'll be going back to Manila. It's confirmed coz my boss told me a few days ago that I'll be staying here till the end of March, or I think that what he meant. I'm a little confused coz I can't tell when my one-month extension started and I'd like to have my flight booked early and be home by Holy Week. I can't decide if I want to stay here and go to Boracay or go home during Holy Week. I'd really love to go back to Bora but it would be a bummer If I go there alone. I still can't decide if I want to stay with this company after this or pursue my own practice. A few month ago I was dead serious to go on my own but right now I'm not so sure. I have much to hink about in the following 3 weeks.
A weird thing almost happened to me a few days ago when I watched "Music and Lyrics". I never thought that something like this will happen to me but it almost did. I was almost "harrassed" inside a moviehouse. This would never have happened if I didn't watch it alone but I was confident coz I was in an SM cinema. I normally go to the movies every Sunday but having no other business at the job site, I decided to catch a flick on a Thursday, first screening. Unlike in Manila, there isn't a lot of people here that watch a movie on a workday anymore, so I wasn't expecting that many people inside. The ushers even joked about it coz I was just the 3rd one to come in. Anyway, halfway through the movie, this "guy" sat in the seat beside me even though I was the only one seated in the lower level. I didn't think it was possible but this was the 2nd time that this happened. Knowing what this jerk was probably thinking, I moved a seat away so there's a few empty seats between us. He probably took the hint and expectedly, he stood up and transferred. I was enjoying the "concert" when from the corner of my eye I see him again coming towards me but this time from the other side of the theater. He sat 1 seat apart from me but after a few minutes trnasferred again and he's beside me again, So I transferred again. From this point till the end of the movie I know that he's thinking of moving again. What a jerk! I could have just punched him but it may just excite him some more, who knows what goes on inside his head. As soon as the credits rolled I stood up and left.
