The afterthought is endless. I was not born an expat so I have a somewhat serious mind for a lot of Filipino memories in the 90's. Though I could also not afford to overlook the foreign ones. Some of my readers and friends' reactions after posting the Part I made me realize there is just too much I could look back on to.
And so I reckon more retrospection as something positively worth doing.
Ready for another journey down memory lane?
