It's about choices really...

Reflection
What makes England so much more exciting than Toronto? I mean Toronto has a lot of things to offer as well, but why is it that I've been to London for two weeks now, and I feel like I've done more in two weeks here than I ever would in a month in Toronto.

It's the choices you make really; I would have to think twice about going to a pub on a random Wednesday night in Toronto. London, not even a second thought.

I've taken a lot of things for granted in Toronto - it's sights, sounds, people, places - everything. Because I've lived there for 20 years, everything was always at my disposal, always there, I can go whenever. London, I have two years to do everything I want. So it's limited. But if you think about it, are we not limited in general anyway? We are only on this earth for a certain amount of time - not forever, why do we wait for things? Why do we wait until we have money, until we have time, until we are ready, until this, until that.

Just do it.

Until only lasts until.

Choose wisely.

Choices
Like you, when I left the confines of my limited world (Manila, Bacoor, Las Pinas, Makati, Alabang, Paranaque, and ocassionally beyond) I had learned to spread my wings and become more open to the idea of exploring and more importantly learning more about this world we live in and the people we interact with. Not sure if London offers the multicultural mix that Toronto does but when I arrived here my views have exploded beyond what I had ever imagined life can be. Inasmuch as the world has opened its doors, I also find myself going "home" to the place I grew up in so I can (1) root myself to my modest beginnings and (2) help remind me of my goals, hopes, and dreams that have been and yet to be fulfilled. I'm glad that you are choosing TO LIVE YOUR LIFE and not just EXISTING IN IT. Enjoy the journey ... every moment of it. =)
