****************Article PART 2********************


This is a little bit of a cliche but the thought of seeing her again was what gave me a reason to dream. It was what drove me to, as Paulo Coelho would put it, realize my own Personal Legend. I was so sure that was it. My chance to prove myself to the world. I was all focused on my goal and there was no stopping me.

Back in Davao.

I was back in my hometown quicker than you noticed the skip in my story, figuratively speaking of course. But wait, let's rewind a little. After less than a year of stay in Cebu, I went home. My decision to go back home was so quick it made my head spin. I didn't know what came over me. All i knew was that i was home and that was it. I was jobless, girlfriend-less.

What happened to my 5-year plan? What about my girl and my year-long wait to finally see her again? I was doing well in work. Everything was so right and then, poof! All my dreams vanished into thin air. The only thing i could remember was that i got homesick. And just like that it was all over. All my questions still remain unanswered to this very day, this very moment i'm pounding my fingers on my keyboard.

Everything that happened was so depressing that i avoided thinking about it. I knew i had to move on. It was an opportunity for me to realize my other dream and that was to teach in a university. Weeks later that dream was realized.

I was back on track. I must have been one of God's favorite people for He gave me another chance. I was teaching computer science at Ateneo de Davao University while attending graduate school at UP. The job was perfect for me because I've always had this passion for teaching. Just like that I was back on top of my anthill.
