*****************************************************************

When I was growing up the world seems so big, seem so scary, I felt like I was this fragile creature that has no power to cope up with it. Now I look at the world and think to myself “not bad, it is really not that big.” Looking back then, I would have never thought that it is possible to conquer the world. Now, I am probably on my way conquering my part of the world. Through my journey, I’ve discovered that a home will always be home anywhere I go. My childhood home is Namualan, it is a small village located at Brgy. Diaz in Bautista.

Namualan… you hold my precious childhood memories, I am miles away but no matter where I would be you are always my home.
