Another yet long pause since my last post and I won't be even explaining the reasons of my absence, simply because there is none. I mean, this blog will be updated, when I update so, yeah. If you happen to stumble upon this page, then welcome! :)
Firstly, I want to say I've seen the great performance of Hillsong United! I can't seem to get my mind off of all of their songs, especially their new album, Aftermath (Yes, I am promoting the so called album now. You GOT TO have it! Its beautiful).
And I've been leaving Sydney for almost two months now. I'm typing this post from my brother's computer, using the slow internet connection, which, once every 12 hours will shut off by itself, and the only way to keep in contact with the outside world of web is by restarting the modem.
So here I am, enjoying my homecoming with a different excitement that I have when I was in Sydney. Living here, it's all good (unless the internet connection, obviously. And the weather and the lizards!) and believe me, there's no other word to describe my staying here other than 'convenient'. Everything is easy here. The sims? I got it. Heaps of healthy food? No problem. Feel like eating junk food? It's possible. To make it simple, you can say, home has never been as much home as here. This is where I come from. And there's this comfortable feelings that surrounds me here, whether I like it or not.
The thing is, when I was in Sydney. I enjoy it endlessly. I get church. I have good friends. I have a boyfriend (which I miss dearly). I have a house to share. Food is never been healthy. Well it is healthy but not comparable with this place. VERY GOOD internet connection. But it's not cheap. Here in my place things are not that cheap but still, in Sydney, everything is so much more expensive.
Sometimes I wish these two places can be merged, you know what I'm saying? I want my family in Sydney to be here with my real family. Soon enough, I have to let go one of them, and I know the truth, I can't keep them both together (unless I am very very rich, and unfortunately, I'm not on that level yet). And what's with all the tight rules that Australia been giving to people lately? It is sooo hard to get a temporary resident let alone the permanent one.
What would you choose? A small town with slow to medium internet connection but where everything is cheaper? Or a big city, with all its beauty and living-the-dream scenarios await, but so hard to live in?
There's a part of me that starts to get used to this place. Starts liking this place, wanting to just stay here. And there's another part, who miss Sydney with all the troubles and difficulties and adventures that are offered.
