maybe...

Few days back, someone asked Turon the perennial “abroad” question:

Officemate: May balak ka ba mag abroad someday?
Turon: Wala naman
Officemate: You must be earning well. The reason why some people don’t have plans to migrate is oftentimes because of the good compensation they get here in Manila
Turon: D naman sa ganun…

Yep, still no plans…

Officemate: Nakarating ka na ba sa ibang bansa?
Turon: Nope, not yet
Officemate: Ah! That must be the reason. Pag nakarating ka na sa ibang bansa, pag balik mo sa Pilipinas you would wish to leave again
Turon: Maybe…

Now that has got me into thinking.

Turon and I, when asked if we want to migrate in the future, without hesitation we say no. But then, she made a valid point… Maybe we just don’t know what else is out there. Maybe more opportunities are indeed present outside of our beloved polluted, crime infested, corrupt country.

Maybe...

signed! sealed! delivered!

Yup, it’s finally official! After almost a month of wondering and hoping… :)

Another great big step (exaggerated ba?) for Freya and Turon... well... mostly for him! Side effect lang sakin. Excellent side effects though!

Great things really do come to those who do not wait! Hehehehe.

realization and facts

First few days of the year and I am not feeling well. This morning I had my 2nd asthma attack after 1 year of not having one. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. This country is getting way too polluted for me… hay naku… but still, thoughts of leaving the Philippines still hasn’t entered my mind. Hehehe.

Anyhow, I just opened my Friendster account and while I was getting my daily dose of “stalking” I realized that many of my high school and college friends are getting married if they are not already married. Yep, our batch has officially entered the “marrying zone”, like the “debut-zone” during our first-second year of college only this zone is life changing. Add to that, some even have pictures of their kids as their primary photo in Friendster. Gawd! I’m kinda feeling old right now… honestly, my mindset is still on “new-college graduate” but then, I realize this. Time really does fly!

Moving on, fact is, I am and will continue to be swamped with work and responsibilities at my job this year. Yep, I know that and that is the cold truth. Yet somehow, I seem to still not be busy! Yes, this is me again, PROCRASTINATING! I know I should start working on some things already, get a good headstart, but I just can’t. I’m still on the holiday-vacation mode even though I had been working (on-shift) since January 1! I need to get out of this funk and really start working!!! GISING FREYA! MAGTRABAHO KA!!!!

Hmm… maybe I’ll start on Monday… Hehehehe.

First is a new watch from Turon. Love you babe!
Second is a nw phone!!! At last! This one is a combo gift from Turon, my dad, my mom, my aunt and myself. Ehehehe. Tulong tulong dba? Naawa na talaga sila sa phone ko.
