at last

i just finished watching President Obama's inaugural address on youtube.
followed that up with the President and the First Lady dancing their first dance.

parang i'm mesmerized.
i didn't get to watch in real time because i don't have a television.
and i am, at present, feelin' the love for youtube and free wifi at northwalk in san fernando.

that's my President.
for the first time, i can say, "he can speak for me."
i trust his moral compass, his fortitude.
i trust that he gets it.
he understands the complexities.
he's willing to sit through the hard stuff.
he understands process
and cooperation
and decisive action
and kapwa.

it's strange to feel this.
i've never felt this way before about a President.
and perhaps it is a bit corny...
but, his Presidency is another compelling reason that i'm returning Home this year.
i'm feeling called back to my other Home,
in the states.
yes, i have another Home.
i do.

and
this must be said...

dag.

that Beyonce can sang.
