Okay! Let’s start it this way, life abroad is somehow a challenging one yet a fulfilling struggles. Every victory in a day to day battlefield is indeed rewarding!  Why did I say so? ‘Cause a battle between survival, race differences, and living far from family is somehow one of the hardest part to bare. But due to financial matters, we choose to be here to gave a better life for our family back home.

I won’t go into details as to how I spent my days and life here but all I can say it’s awesome! I meet several types of people from a different walks of life where I learn to value myself and eventually learn to value others.

I came to know that growing up is process and in every stages there’s always a hardships that will somehow taught you to be strong and learn to play the game of life. Learn to bare the unexpected likewise to bare the fruits of every success you’ve taken!

Its always been a cliche that the best part of your life is during your high school..Well, I can never agree more.. High School has been always the best of me.. This time of your life is the stage where you get to follow which track would you wanted to go.. The crucial phase where decisions are being made base on your curiosity that’s why I believe parents should have a bunch of handful oversee towards children.

This is the moment where you get to enjoy life, make friends and savor the best experience that could happen in our entire existence. During High School we get to know what we really are into, that might be into arts, music or anything that we love to do, here we get out from the box and shows what we really are. Nobody will tell us we’re not right but instead will help us show our inner strength.

They say that during our high school life is the best foundation on what kind of person we wanted to be. You gotta meet a whole lot of people that can either be your friend or not. The times when you start falling in or falling out of love. But being a teenager, its gonna be so difficult as well ’cause you need to understand a lot of things which matter you as a person.

This is where the chapter where dreams are being made.

They say you can never skip this phase of your life because this is the best thing that could happen to anyone. But at the end of the day life must go on and we need to stimulate more on what else we can do, then there you see yourself which path have you gone.

Looking back has always been exciting for us for we know during these days we only matter how the days passes by and how appealing it was. Now we knew exactly if we did flourished or not but we all know that part of our life has been that exhilarating.

I’ve actually witnessed and seen a lot of wedding ceremonies from north to south, from east to west and vice versa. A friend whose ready to take their vows in front of the altar. A friend whose willing to give up everything for the person they loved the most. A friend whose game for a new chapter of their life.

In contrary with those statements, I’ve also witnessed several broken families. Couple who are about to get married and are engage but all of a sudden withdrew their wedding due to third parties and all other related situations that contributes to broken relationships.

Do perfect relationship really exist? Is there really a person who were satisfied of their relationship? Questions that somehow lingers my mind and are looking for answers.

But to end the questions I had in mind, I assume the very fact that the ability of every man’s heart to a love a person is immeasurable. Our mind really says, enough but I guess, our heart never get’s tired. In fact, it keeps on pumping and it strives for the better.

For now, I’m ahppy of what I have and I enjoy every single seconds I live alone with my extended family, friends and relatives. Family who were always there to support me all the way. Relatives who in one way shares some thoughts and admirations in eveything I do. And friends whom I can treat as my second family. They are those person who simply touches my life and makes me whole.

Because of that, I could not resist to one of my closest friend back in high school. She’s actually married already. She’s living now in Philippines with his husband. We actually had a conversation a while back this day. Oh! Well, she’s giving birth in the next two months and because of that she was requesting a maternity clothes from me. As a close friend, I can’t resist. So, what I do is buy her a pair of maternity dress. Probably, I’ll send it back home in the nest two days from now as I have one friend here that were about to go home in Philippines for vacation. I’ll ask a favor to send it through her.

Well, life of being a friend is priceless. What they ask from me is just a material thing. What they give me is the value of friendship that cannot be bought and cannot be taken from me. Thank guys. Love you all!

So, since I got my salary by next week I am planning to offer my Dad his favorite cigars as my post valentines for him. He is actually far from me. As he was in my native country Philippines and I am here in the other part of the globe specifically in Middle East. But despite that I have a lot of options to send this gift to him. It could be my courier or by a friend who will be home next week.

To you Dad, thank you for being the best Dad in the world. There’s no amount of words could ever explains who much I thank you for upbring me and teaching the best thing that I have to know. You and Mom is indeed one of the best parents and amazing parents in the world. I may not keep saying those word onto you most of the time but through this occasions let me utter those words you seldom hear from me. I may not that so expressive on my feelings but God knows, you both are treasured here in my heart. I Love You both…

I was supposed to visit them for a day or two but I couldn’t find time as I am also busy meeting those old friends I had before and acquiting with them once again. My Sis is demanding me to be there in their plae. I actually opted to but I find it so tiring and I don’t have a luxury of time.

So, instead of going to their house I just open call them and talk to my Nephews while I was there. I know its different to see them personal and hug them tight but at least I often talk them as often as I can. When Christmas season arrived I decided to buy a gift my two(2) Nephews. It was a set of toys which I’m so sure they’ll both love it but sad to say that they were not there to celebrate with me. Sigh…

A while back this week, I call back home and was able to talk to my older Nephew and guess what? His asking where is his xbox toy? lol.. The toys I bought him last December was still in our house I guess. I was not yet delivered to him. He knows that its a set of toys and he likes it but he still want me to buy him an xbox. Oh! Boy… I just told him that I’ll gonna buy him one later this year.

Sigh.. I miss them so much.. Hopefully, by next year I’ll be able to see them once more.
