Twelve Days more To go see you Philippines!

November 22, 2022

My heart is pounding with excitement, that at last this time I am counting the days and am going back home soon.

I am already done preparing all my things although I still did not know if it is 30 kilos since it is the only allowed baggage that I need to carry and a 7-kilo in-hand carry.

My employer asked me if I wanted to buy chocolate but I answered her that I am not going to buy in the reason that first, I was being out of budget, yes you read it right I go home with a little money in my pocket but the most important is that I can now see my two daughters after four years that we only communicating via video call.

Twelve days more to go and they are unknowing what is the exact date for my arrival since I told my husband to not informed them so every time we talk on the phone we are not discussing about it honestly they don't have any idea that I am coming home soon and probably they will be surprised since the time of my arrival is midnight and I will not let them come at the airport I am the one directly come at our house perhaps at the dawn so yeah I can figure out already how they react.

The second reason why I don't buy chocolate is that I only had 30kilos of baggage allowed and that would be enough for my belongings. My madam tells me that she wants to buy it for me but I refuse to accept it because there is a tendency that might be over baggage and I don't want it to happen since it's expensive if we pay those over baggage by the kilo so as much as possible I want to avoid this to happen.

What's on my mind?

To be honest, I am excited with a little bit sad, or should I say mixed emotions about how I managed my short vacation.

I am hoping and praying that if only it is not only a vacation but for staying for good. But at the back of my mind I need to go back again for work and not wasted time that as long as I will still fit to work abroad, I need to grab it not for myself but for my children for they are not able to experience hardship in the future that if the time comes that I am not capable of doing the things that the young does at least I am proud as I'll do my best and that I shouldn't regret it in the end. We all have the choice to choose it took me a while to get to this point. Lots of blood sweat, focus, commitment, perseverance, and dedication.

I guess that would be all for me today.

Thank you, everyone, I would end this with the message. I hope everyone makes time for themselves and commits to making themselves to be happy and fulfilled.

Thank you so much!
