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...
