Re-posted! Kabayan Junction is my personal blog of an Overseas Filipino Worker or OFW, this has been my outlet of frustrations as a Pinoy away from home since early 2006. This blog hosted free by Blogger for more than three four ears (last blog post was 2010). It has been 5 years since i revisited this post. Blogging has been a good frustration outlet though i don't write well

Auld Lang Syne song is played again and to every new years’ eve, but do know what it mean. I don’t until today.
