I've realised I haven't posted anything for a while now but it has been a busy time.
The highlight of my summer has been going holiday to the Philippines. It had been 10 years since I had visited last and even though my stay was a very short 2 weeks I loved everyday of it. Being surrounded by family surprised me how much it can affect happiness and over there. Despite being a third world country with a lack of money in everyday life, having family around you can make life so much happier and easy going. It is such a totally different way of life to London, here so many people just live to work without being able to go home at the end of the day and truly relax with family. Whilst in Philippines I wondered why people can't be relaxed like this in London despite earning a salary per hour of someone who earns the same amount in one day in Philippines. Being surrounded by so much greenery and open space was lovely too, it felt so much more fresh than a concrete clad London! I don't know why I left it so long to visit Philippines but I definately know it is a country close at heart that I want to go back to for many years to come :)
