Hello read.cash fam? Hows your day? Is it great? Hope you have a wonderful day along with your families. No family is perfect. We argue.. We fight.. We even stop talking to each other at times. The love will always be there. Family is still family.
So wayback 2013, when im in Singapore Ive been sending a PASALUBONG BOX for my family in PHILIPPINES.
HOW I MANAGE MY PASALUBONG:
Since my employer planning to moved to a condo, then they gave me a lot of things such as stuff toys, books, clothes and even bedsheets/blankets. So I ask permission to my mam, "she said its ok and then you go to LBC at LUCKY PLAZA. During my day off I buy some goodies such as chocolates and biscuits.
Ita Sunday off. Im with my ate Narcing, our pinay neighbor. She lives at Davao City so kabisdak hehehe.. Shes the first person bring me at Lucky Plaza. At the train so may pinoy ofw's. We just smiled of course and its our kababayan. I feel like a bird that time and its my 1st day off. The happiness I felt that time is priceless and after few months at SG.
How much is the box?
When we reach the LBC OFFICE, I ask the employee(its pinoy). The big box cost of 5,655php and I said "wowww". But I dont have choice because the other cargo is too long to wait after my family recieved it. So I pay it and fill up some details then they tell me the date that they will pick up my box at my employer's house. Its door to door delivery so no hassle at all diba.
Then I start to buy some SG SHIRTS for my son and to my family. Also the chocolates. That time the NIKE STORE have a big sale. So I bought one for my son's birthday.
Done buying all my stuffs, so were already hungry. We grabbed some foods at FILIPINO CUISINE. Lots of filipinos again in that area. Sometimes just spending some quality time with good friends is the only therapy you need. Especially when your homesick, right?
Some people arrive and make a such a beautiful impact on your life. You can barely remember what life was like without them. Not all domestic helpers there have a day off and I dont know what kind of employer is that.
Happiness have a limit:
Its evening already so time go home hehehe.. (time na ang dyes😆). Have a day off? Which is very rare in our line of work but that's something we like to do. Like I said, it's nice way to take your mind off the game and just go out and relax and have some fun. Then I can have my own memories at SG.
Being an ofw is not easy for us, we struggle everything especially to the employers. Its good if your having a good employer but if they are abusive, im sure you will experience of being in a hell. Adjustment is very difficult for us and even we do our work, still they have something to say... But my new employer is different and thats why im fully ok with them. Its easy to work if your inspired with them.
Full of love:
I really love my family and they are my everything. Thats why I work abroad because of them also, even I have my own family that time I still providing their needs. Family is a unique gift that needs to be appreciated and treasured, even when they're driving you crazy. As much as they make you mad, annoy you, curse at you, try to control you, there are the people who know you the best who love you forever.
So dont ever forget your family. Treasure every moment and take time to ensure that the story you create is one that you will be proud of and look back on with a huge smile.
Authors message:
Always be grateful for having a family that you can count on, everytime you need a love. No words can ever be strong enough to express my gratitude to my parents, for their unconditional love. Thank you for always there for me.
