going home

I find it weird when people would ask me why every time I tell them I’m going home to our province.  I would often reply, “Why not?  That’s where I live, right?”  I know I’m not able to go home often but I still consider “going home” as the normal thing — not being able to go home is not normal.  There’s no need for any special occasion for me to do so.

After almost 10 years, I still don’t consider myself as someone residing in Manila though that is something that would, from time to time, cross my mind.  It gets a little confusing sometimes.  I guess it’s a little hard when you live your life someplace, and then call someplace else home.
