Its been almost 2 years now since I left my home land to get a better compensation. How am I doing? I would say Im good but Im striving to be at my best. In my country, when you heard that a person is working in a foreign land, everyone will think that u have many money and ur just like picking it up on ur way home. They have this box-typed image that workers in abroad couldnt be poorer than them.. How I wish its really that easy..
Being oldest of 4 siblings, I have to support my family for almost everything. And its not that easy coz it really is very expensive. Then there comes some unexpected events that someone will borrow money for this and that. Ok Ill agree, but after that, there will be another person aching the same scenario.. (sigh) I would agree to that one too, then there will be another and another and another..
I dont wanna sound bad but sometimes Im getting tired of it. Its seems that they're aching forever. They always ask something from me.. I just wish that they would also ask how am I doing here or am I happy or how am I living here. As you see, going to a foreign land, it means welcome living-alone.. Yes, I am living alone..
Living alone has its own good and bad points. Good points are no curfews, no errands from someone (coz ur mom/dad is not around..hehe), no long-time enemies, and ull decide on your own..U will be able to learn from mistakes and be more mature in the long run.. But there are some bad points too.. Like u have to do everything all by urself like washing dishes, cooking, cleaning the whole house, doing the grocery and the garbage, and other everyday activities. But one of the hard part is when ur sick.. There will be no one to take care of u.. U have to do it on ur own! And its really hard! Another hard part is being away to ur loved ones.. Even though I visit my home land quite often, its really different if ur really with ur loved one all the time.. Summing it all up, I can say that there are more good points than bad points.. Whew, Thank God.. (^__^)
Living all by urself is really.. I just have to look things in a more positive ways so as to get more good points than bad points ayt? But as they say, everything pays off.. So just a little more time to save and I'll be in my home land in no time... (^__^)

hi dian,
wow i didn't know that you are fond of blogging. anyways, i can relate to you. i may not be supporting my family but i'm supporting my brother's schooling. =) and i'm also living alone nyahahah ... there are lots of advantages/disadvantages of being alone but one thing that i appreciate the most is that by living alone you learn to stand on your own two feet and of course you appreciate how valuable it is to have friends. good luck on your career! take care always :D

i can relate on how tiring it is to be so giving and sometimes wishing your not that generous at all. maybe we could learn to say no once in a while.
being by yourself will give you more time for yourself and to reflect, contemplate and think about life and the people and things that matters most to you... just make the most out of it :)
hello po,
Share ko rin lang po... I'm also supporting my family right now but the difference is I'm still living with them. Honestly, I envy you on that part hehehe, but, not that I dont want to be with my family anymore. Eversince kasi di ako nahiwalay sa kanila so I'm just thinking how long am I going to last missing them. I agree po sa inyo on the advantages of working abroad, kaya nga feeling ko I'm too dependent na kasi I'm still with my parents heheheh... Actually, my older sister is working overseas kaya medyo nakakrelate po ako. I'm sure sobrang worried din po sila sa inyo just like me with my sister.
Ingat po kayo dyan lagi and don't forget to pray .^^.
