I am a Syana.

Born and bred in Isabela.

But for the past 18 years, I've been away. Since I studied in the University, I've been spending most of my days in Manila, and just go home during the holidays.

But since 2 years ago, I've been spending more time in the province. The nature of my work permitted me to work almost anywhere I want to, as long as there's internet access.

As I am writing this, I've already spent my 30th day here in the province. I miss my small shoebox in manila. I miss eating out and going to the movies. I miss the regular gatherings with the Dyosas.

I must admit I miss the Gotham rhythm. But I am slowly getting the hang of the Syana pace -- slow, relaxed and stress-free. I guess, a Syana I will always be.
