Padilla took to her Instagram page on Sunday, January 26, to bid farewell to her life in London, while sharing glimpses of how her life went since moving to the European city in 2021.

“I am temporarily closing this chapter as I prepare to work full-time again. And yes, I should have taken more pictures. I should have kissed and hugged my loved ones as much as I needed,” she said.

The actress said that while living in London “made [her] question everything she knew, forced [her] to square [her] shoulders, walk faster, and be more vigilant,” it was nonetheless a place that allowed her to “smell flowers.”

“On days when I forgot what I sounded like because I wasn’t talking to anybody, I had the flowers to remind me that God wanted me happy by giving me the most beautiful flowers just around my neighborhood,” she said.

“London made me embrace the sad colors of autumn so hard that it would crush my soul every time I swept my garden before winter. Always weeping for the big tree I have, dying temporarily… as did I, with every sad day, quiet room entered and moment of complete confusion,” Padilla continued.

Data released by the BSP on Tuesday showed the public sector’s foreign borrowings from July to September this year went up by 36 percent from the $2.81 billion in the same period last year.

The federal and state governments’ tax revenue reached a total of 86.2 billion euros ($93.54 billion) last month, according to the ministry’s monthly report.

Padilla said she’s thankful for her life in London as it made her instincts “sharper,” and it motivated her to stay healthier. “Because of London, my instincts are now sharper. I stayed as healthy as I could while navigating my autoimmune disorder.”

“I very quickly learned to walk, ride my bike, and eventually drive cars on the left side. The education I got from in and out of the classrooms, [is] imbedded in me now,” she continued. “London also gave me the best friends that one could develop in adulthood, abroad.”

In her post, Padilla admitted that she was sad upon leaving London, although she is hopeful that she will “call it home again.”

“London is polite but shouts when you’re wrong. Beautiful but rough around the edges. Kind but has a darkness that could scare the tough… my friend, London,” she said.
