Time and Travel

From Philippines to UAE to Singapore all in a span of 1 year. Nice huh?! Oh well it is and it isn't. If I had lots of money and travel just for the heck of it then it definitely is fun. But to travel with just enough money and look for work in these countries makes things a lot more complicated. Nevertheless, I'll try to collect the memories I had and is still making in this journey of mine.

Traveling 8 hours alone in a plane makes you look at things in every perspective you can think of and end up more confused than you were at the start. You ask yourself if you're doing the right thing and hope that everything will be all right, think back of the things that led you to decide to leave. And then you wish that everything will be worth it.

Then you will be fazed by realizations that it isn't as easy as you initially thought it would be so you trudge through the days moving along wherever you must be and whatever you must do to earn. You may hate, love or both hate and love the situations that you find yourself in and there will be no fighting it because you realize that it is a losing battle from the start and all you can do is escape.

So escape I did leaving everything that for a time were the only things that made sense. But life is a never ending cycle, when I think back I see that all I ever did was ran away when things get bad, when I feel alone, when I get bored and more importantly when I feel worthless. I have always expected so much from everything and everyone without having to show or do something at all. When I don't get what I want I try to get it somewhere else, not exactly caring about who or what's left behind. Now I wish to change all that.

nice post. blee...

It's all worth it, right? Learning to appreciate what you have is sweeter when you had to go through having absolutely nothing. It's like when you were walking along a dangerous ridge, but after conquering that, you smile walking along a road, straight line, the horizon is visible and achievable.
