what is it like to live a life like an Hour Glass?

I still look back on the last 3weeks of my stay in Manila, just after I learned about my departure date. Sudden emotions just rushes through my thoughts, and feelings of sorrow and happiness both lingers while I still try to get a grip of the opportunity that has come forth before me. "Sad Happy" is the exact feeling.

I feel so bummed out since I will have to set aside much of the things that makes up my whole being. And because of so much stress that must be endured as waiting to get back quickly makes the simpler things more difficult.

Happy for the reason of finally starting something new for myself, as this next chapter would eventually open the doors to my fantasies and the endless dreams that I have been wishing for myself.

I tried slowing down time by creating a bucket list of the things I want and I have to do before I leave, and it was definitely worth the fun running down the list one by one.

And soon as you neared the finish line, you'll notice the things that you never usually give time for. 

The experience definitely fits the question, "if you have a few seconds to live, what would you do?"

Probably the most frequent line that I kept on saying during all those times was:

"The hardest way of saying goodbye is having to go separate ways at a certain point, and both of you would have to go back alone with that final goodbye flashing like a head light at the back of your head."

You just could not control your tears.

Though I failed to say goodbye to everyone that I wanted to see before I left, I still feel blessed, and I could say that I tried my best to "make those last seconds count".

The sand has ran out.

Time to turn it upside down again.
