That fast, huh? Well, we’re done with what we came here for but it was quite a journey. Experienced everything (well, I guess not everything). Good or bad, it was indeed a great trip. It is true what they say – “It is better (sweeter) the second time around.”

I believe I had done what I didn’t do the first time I went in Dallas. Surely, the next time I get back here (if there will ever be a next time) it would be different again. Masaya din ang tumira sa US. Maganda pamumuhay, madami kang mabibili. Tamang tama lang sa kinikita mo. Ang mahirap lang ay ang kultura. Ibang iba sa kulturang pinoy.

We have this friend – kuya Ed – isang kano na may pusong pinoy. He’s very fond of our culture. We heard his story and was surprised that he believes that our culture is great.

He is impressed on how filipino family is setup not just because he himself have a filipino family but according to him he never felt that happiness having a family before. That’s an important aspect of filipino culture that I am proud of too.

Anyway, we’re now here at the DFW airport, waiting to board the plane. To kill time, we roam around the airport. We even got some starbucks to keep us awake while waiting for boarding. We’ll be traveling about 17 hours. Good luck to our butts!

Below are some of the photos we took.

And this is our last Sunday here in Texas. And that usually means taking pictures. Pictures to bring back memories during our trip.

We had a great service and reminisce if everything we did was on God’s teachings and laws. Today’s lesson was great. Some stroke through. Some kept.

After the worship service, we head out and took some photos. And, said goodbye to some of the church members. It was a great day really.

When I get back here again, I hope I can bring my duty to sing in the choir. I miss singing hymns already. Back in Baguio, I am in the English Choir so I kinda memorized almost all the hymns. Well, babalik naman na kami kaya ayos lang.

Here are more of the photos:

One of the team Prince handle. We went to Dickeys. A BBQ restaurant that serve mainly (of course) barbecue. The setup is kinda like a buffet style but not like Great Wall.

Anyways, Prince got the tab (Thanks Prince) and we all just ate and ate. It is fun to be with the infrastructure team. David Jee, Thanh Ngo, and Howard Kirk are great. Si Thanh ang ma-kwento. He told us that he likes to visit Philippines again someday. I said ‘again’ because according to him, he’s been in the Philippines around the 70s (I think). He’s a refugee in Bataan wherein he stayed for months and would like to visit it again to see what has changed since he got there. He also said he loves balot.

The meal went well and we had some time to take some more photos for remembrance. Below are some of the shots:
