i am sorely tempted to daydream about having a job that would send me somewhere far once in a while. each time, for 3 months or more. far can mean anywhere from 40 to 4000 miles away from my current home. actually, i think i prefer the 4000 miles (or maybe 2800, so it would land me somewhere on the other end of this country, like new york). just to get a different perspective. learn new things. about the places, but more importantly, about me. i don't think i'd get as lonely as i did back in 2002-2003, since there are now so many ways of getting in touch with my loved ones.
i think i've been in the same place for too long (8 years). and i'm not used to it. it's only half of my pampanga time, but i don't even remember my first several years there, so the difference shouldn't amount to much.
i'll probably end up just traveling to wherever for a weekend getaway. that solo flight from last month felt great. if given the opportunity, this year, i'd like to go to 3 places i've never been. no need to be far off destinations. but they do need to present a different experience for me. gotta save though. especially since i plan to do at least one solo trip again.
