Shall I take the risk? My thoughts on Valentine's Day.

Since last night I have read several articles about Valentine's day. Well some believe and celebrate while others see it as just a normal day. Well that's normal as we all live in different parts of the globe, so quite normal that we have different perspectives in life.

How's Valentines day so far? Ladies, did you receive a bouquet of flowers , chocolate or perhaps a new life size teddy bear. I just hope no one got scammed today.
As for me? well I haven't received any of those gifts and it's okay. I already told my husband not to buy as I am just being practical. A bouquet of flowers was expensive, especially today. I am okay with the early morning greetings from the love of my life . Hehe.
I was actually preoccupied thinking since yesterday trying to weigh things. Just last week Taiwan announced that they are now open for accepting OFW to enter the country. Then while I was talking to my husband he suddenly asked me if I wanted to work in Taiwan too.

His chat means "Why don't I try to complete the requirements for Taiwan and he's gonna let someone to REQUEST" me if ever there's a hiring. If I want to."

I even posted this to noise cash yesterday asking anyone's thoughts if I should take the risk. One answer that caught my attention was from @meitanteikudo , who says I should follow my heart.

If I'm gonna follow my heart, of course my heart says, "GO to Taiwan Lhes, Pronto". I mean who doesn't want to be with the love of this life? Yet, I was a little bit hesitant as I might not pass the medical exam. I have some issues with my lungs, my right diaphragm was elevated. Though I already underwent CT scan I was cleared still it was not normal right?

Aside from that, I am also worried that after our contract we are both jobless. Though I don't have a managerial position my salary was somehow okay. Maybe enough to support at least one kid. Yet just a simple life. Hehehe, Oh I just received a call from our HR- Comben (Compensation and Benefits) and I was informed that the management gave me a salary increase. I was actually in awe and thankful to our Group head as she was the one who requested it . Seems like my hard work paid off.

Our initial plan actually is, I'm gonna move to his hometown after our house is done. Then I will look for possible work from home opportunities. Once Taiwan opens for tourists I'm gonna apply for a tourist visa. Maybe at least for a month or two.

As for our house, I could say we are almost there. We decided to continue the construction since last week and so far the finishing of walls and flooring are done. Just windows, doors, ceilings and tiles . I am proud to say it was all due to his hard work. Though I am a little bit ashamed I haven't contributed a penny. Pandemic happened that's why. I guess my contribution is that I managed all his earnings well . I saved as much as I could.

I was just surprised he suddenly brought this up. I guessed he already missed me, hehehe. The offer was quite tempting. Being in a long distance relationship is really hard. Very! I was just thankful as video calls was invented.

Sometimes he teases me as this was my consequence of choosing him among all my suitors before who have a better income. Those who have a stable job. I need to endure being in LDR.

He must be kidding, why would I not choose him? He is almost perfect , "pera na lng kulang " . CHAR lng. I mean I never regret choosing him.

As of the writing if you are gonna ask what my decision was, well I am willing to take a risk. Who knows there might be better opportunities outside my comfort zone. Besides, I don't want to live in WHAT IF's. It's much better to try, at least I did. Rather than thinking what if I tried. Most of all I missed my sweetheart too and I want a warm night.

Thanks a lot for dropping by.
