Entry: what makes a place a good place to live? Thursday, August 12, 2004



in the past 20+ years, i've lived in 3 places and visited a couple of Philippine provinces and a handful of countries.  they say Filipinos are everywhere, all countries around the world, from A to Z.  more and more friends and relatives are moving overseas. 

oftentimes, i ask myself where i want to live.  i don't really know.  i am now away from home but i might move to another place (or back home) in the next couple of years.  as to where, i don't know!  i can only think of the considerations in making the decision.

Being With Loved Ones
since i value the people i love, i want to be with them.  i've proven that even if you're in the most beautiful spot on earth, it's nothing if you don't have them to share the experience with. 

Environment
environment covers a lot of things, but social and spiritual most of all.  i want to live in a place where i can enjoy my independence and privacy.  it's also important to me that i can have a social and spiritual support group.  so i want a place where i can grow socially and spiritually.  so friends and church come in.  then there's consideration on pollution, proximity to place of work, shops and good education.  i can live in a city as long as i can still get out of the city from time to time.  i can live in quiet areas (like here) but i think i'll need to have access to commercial spots.

Career
i don't even have a career yet, but i want to have one.  so i'm considering this when i move.  i want a place where i can have a job, or better yet a career.

i know i missed other things, so post your comment and tell us what you think!
