My Dream Vacation With My Parents Abroad

I recently read an article by a Filipina I met on another platform and she stated her wish to bring her mom and her brother to the place where she is currently working so they could experience the life she has abroad. We are both OFW and have been working abroad for more than 4 years already. We shared the same interests (we both graduated in computer courses and OFW) and that is probably the reason why I easily get along with her. She is kind and hardworking too. By the way, she is working as a computer engineer in one of my dream places, JAPAN!

Knowing her life abroad made me wonder what my life would have been like if only I pursued my computer science career back then. Will I be able to work in Japan too? Because that was really my plan but it seemed hard to achieve back then due to financial burdens so I shifted my path to another one. She even wants me to pursue it, but I guess it's too late already and I need a lot of time to study everything, lol. It's like getting back to square one.

Anyway, back on track...

Her article inspired me to compose this one as I truly wanted to bring two special persons in my life here abroad and let them experience my life here and see beautiful places as well.

These two persons are, of course, my parents. They are the main reasons why I am in this world and if not with them, I shouldn't be experiencing beautiful things abroad. They may be the reasons for why I am struggling too, but they are those I am grateful to have in my life, and they molded me into what I am today.

My father, after his retirement, opted to buy a farm as he likes planting and raising animals. During his spare time, he would go cycling with his co-retiree and he would enjoy visiting spots near our place. I guess I got this being adventurous self from him, lol. Meanwhile, my mother's life remains mundane revolving around the four corners of our house and still taking care of my younger siblings. It seems like she wouldn't retire from that job, tsk. The last time I called her, she mentioned that it's been a long time since she visited the city, and I guess that was prior to the pandemic.

Honestly, I am capable of bringing them here to have a vacation even just for a week or two, only if the crypto market didn't crash. It was one of my plans to spend some BCH for my parents' vacation. But unexpected things happen when you least expect them, and all my plans for them are gone. Although I can still make it, however, I am into saving more for unexpected events in the future as the recent events taught me to. Besides, my wrong crypto strategies just made things complicated and I just lost a huge amount of money in my investments. Money that should be for my family.

There were moments when I called my family, my mother would sometimes say "san-o dawla ak makakakada." Which means she wanted to visit Hong Kong too. Even my siblings envy me because they are seeing beautiful photos of my trips and adventures. But I would just tell them to study harder and save more so they could visit abroad someday.

And that's the main reason why I deactivated my Facebook account. I stopped posting photos on FB since 2021 because I don't like my family to envy things that I have here or beautiful places I've been to. Besides, FB is toxic too and people I know have a lot of expectations and demands, lol. So I would rather be disconnected from them, than stress out myself by minding stuff I shouldn't mind.

If God would permit me and if the market would go back on track, I truly wanted to save more so I could bring them here before I go back to my homeland, two years from now. That is actually a lot of time to save if I would use my salary, yet, responsibilities are always waving monthly. So my only way to save for myself and the future is through my online side hustles.

You may see me happy in my travel blogs, but during those days, I always wished my parents would be with me, so they would also experience and see beautiful places in this country. But I'm still hoping that someday, I would be able to send my parents abroad as my gift to them for raising me into a responsible adult and allowing me to experience new things I never experienced before.

Sister you are lucky you have turned your dreams into reality. It is tough for many others. Still I am with my parents in Anatolia and have no plan to visit anywhere by leaving them. Your parents should be happy to have a daughter like you.

I think these are wonderful goals and dreams to have and I wish they become a reality for you, Look into something called a vision board maybe having one with your parents on them and all the places you wish to travel to or see, or foods you'd want to enjoy together will help in manifesting such things and give you the energy to push through more.

Instead of thinking of it as "starting from square one" we often as people feel that if we redo or go back into doing something we once did that we are starting over or going backwards, but instead I like to think about something I heard recently in that we should all fail FORWARD.

If you still have a passion for computer science then pursue it, but don't pursue it because you see that it is working for someone else and you see that through the life they are showing that the "study or field allowed."

Find the things that make you feel alive and do that and it is good that you are even working on these "side hustles." Who knows one day your "side hustle" might be the only hustle you have to do. Work towards passion and finding the things that make us feel alive and happy. Good luck on your journey and I hope you achieve everything you want.
