KL OFW Life

Welcome back to my blogsite...'hope I did not keep you waiting so long for my second posting. Anyway, I was telling you before that the feeling of homesickness slowly came unto me as I passed six months without going back to Manila..Christmas '96 was coming and I was excited to go back and and experience being a balikbayan for the first time . Everybody was very happy especially I coz seeing your family again after a long time and being able to bring them shopping was really great. After three weeks of celebration now comes the hardest part. Its time to go back to KL and it's hard especially seeing my wife and my mom weeping and my two year old son Mico (see his passport pic) asking me not to go and leave them again. My heart was breaking into two butI have to go and continue my quest. So weeks passed and again I cannot do anything but pour my heart in my job. I was thinking a lot at night why I have to make too much sacrifice. Is it really worth it to be away from my loved ones just to earn three times my salary back home? There must be a way to optimize the situation. I have to sacrifice some of my earnings in order to ease the problem of loneliness. Nope, I did not hire any part time people to take care of me here...I saved money to bring Hazel and Mico here. That's the solution that I was looking for! It was hard at first, incurring more expenses and doing more chores but every effort is worth doing. A new family life is starting, new stories, new adventures in my next post...
