I had some conversations with a friend of mine regarding the thing of trying our luck abroad. As all you know, I have been so problematic about the fact that I was still being dependent with my parents, not actually about financial support because I have a part-time job which is this one, being a content creator or writer. But mostly, I am still dependent with regards to some matters of life. One of them is, "Decision-making."

For all you know, I been living with my parents since then. You also know that I am an only child. And being an only child, its not always like living a life of a princess. Well, probably, at some point. But now that I am getting old, I been thinking that I am really useless with regards to having a stable job which can help sustain the needs of my family. I really don't know. I am a Degree Holder, but I felt that I am just that. A Degree Holder without a job. Useless! What's the point of being a College Graduate if I can't have a job? I tried to apply other jobs but I didn't get hired. Maybe, I am not lucky. Or should I say, I am just not good enough.

As I was saying, I had some conversations with a friend of mine. She is a read.cash user too, but unable to continue her journey just yet, because of the unstable signal in their place.

I chatted her, asking if where is she working right now. She said that she was working as a laundress. She's just kidding me. Actually, she meant to say that she's still not working. I asked her again if she wants to go back to Cebu City. (She was a call center agent before.) And she said she will ask permission if she can go back in there. She asked me if I want to go there too. I said, "I want to try, but I am afraid going there alone." (Am I ignorant? I mean, I just don't have the courage to be in the city all by myself. Haha!)

As the our conversations going on, she suddenly said, "Bal, Abroad nalang ta!"

Meaning, she said, we should just go abroad and try our luck in there.

I asked her, "Where?"

Then she replied, "Maybe in Canada or Japan!" She added,

"Because if we go to UAE, common job we might get in there is DH or Domestic Helper."

"Its better in Canada or even Korea, because we can work as a factory worker or a fruit picker." ( I smiled while reading her message.)

I replied, "How about the requirements Bal, and the expenses?"

She replied,

"You might have an acquaintance in there Bal."

"You should ask for some help."

"And about the expenses, it can be paid after we get our salary." (Parang siguradong-sigurado talaga siya.)

Actually, I had a Godmother who lived in Canada, together with her family. I bet, its been 10 years or more, since the last time she visited us here in the Philippines. She's a rich woman now. She owned a huge business. Well, she married a rich Canadian guy, no wonder she's living a good life in there.

Going back to our conversation, I just ended up saying,

"I think I still don't have the guts to ask her for help Bal, especially that she's rich now."

(Hindi ko rin kasi bet yung side nang pamilya nang ninang ko dito. Hindi ko nalang din sinabi sa Bal ko, kasi ibang usapan na yun. Aguyy, Marites na naman. Haha.)

"Napaisip nga din ako sa sinabi ni Bal sa'kin. Ano kaya ano? Baka nga nasa ibang bansa yung swerte ko." On the other hand, I also think about all the process na maaari ko'ng pagdaan. At yun nga, "Expenses" or "Financial Support". Sa'n ako kukuha nun? And one more thing, "Will MGD allow me, as well as my parents?"

If you're wondering why I called her "Bal". We had a professor back in college who said that we are look alike. Parang kambal daw. "Bal" short for "Kambal". Hehe.(Share ko lang.^_^)

Anyways, how about you? Have you think of trying out your luck abroad? I know some of you here are OFWs. What can say about it? Should I?

That's it for this article my read.cash fam!

MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOU!😇
