You were lucky, Asingan is just a bus' ride from manila. In my case, mindanao is as good as mars.So, i had to stick with college, I went everyday to school, but I didnt attend. I made tambay. And getting bolder each passing day missing home, I ventured into the surrounding tagalog towns, Laguna, Quezon, batangas etc. but I always returned to manila. it became my home away from home.
During xmas breaks, i had the chance to go home. But that was only for two weeks; How i loved to go home during summer vacation, but since I paid my boarding house whether I sleep there or not, economics dictated i had to go to summer classes. the first two years were excruciatingly difficult.....
just as the first year of my stay in the USA were marked by everyday crying and missing of manila, pangasinan and mindanao. But...as i remember them now, they become some sort of bitter sweet, so strenght-adding....
