If everything went according to plan, I would be in the Philippines today but perhaps unbeknownst to some, many things have changed over the past few months. I couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment where my life became a testimony to the age-old cliche (or Ronan Keating song): “life is a rollercoaster” but it is probably pointless to try to do so because what is life but a rollercoaster that operates at its own leisure.
