FEBRUARY

It has been a long, endless month.

Long trips, long working agendas

Deep jet lag, dizziness and

a permanent sore in my tummy.

It has been an expensive month

Moving from one country to another

Dealing with currencies such as pesos, dollars,

Filipino pesos and Japanese yens.

It has been a crazy month, running frenetically

Within airports, taking out my shoes

My coat, scarf, and letting my belongings

Pass through several X rays  check points. 

It has a been a multicultural month

Sharing a 24 hours with Asian citizens and

Listening many estranges tongues around me.

It has been a scaring month

Having my dad so ill once more

Deeply praying for his health.

It has been a struggling month,

I am extremely tired, weak and busy,

But still I can consider myself a conqueror

Because even survive is, sometimes, 

 already a victory.

God has given me a great victory

In this endless, unforgettable February…

But still I am not willing

 to repeat this chapter anymore!
