Crossroads

Time flew so fast and I have already spent a year in Qatar. Thank You Lord for Your faithfulness. Hindi biro ang maging isang OFW. All the while, I thought I would never be homesick, but I was wrong. There even came a point that I just wanted to leave everything and go back to my home, my family, my life.

But then, I read Papol's letter, the one he gave me when he put a ring on . And it reminded me of how I prayed for this so badly. Si God talaga, sobra maglambing. And so last 28 June 2013, because I prayed for Him to expand my territory, I arrived in Qatar, and I am never the same. Sabi nga, be careful what you wish for.

 
 
Doha is such a blessing and this page will not be enough to recount all them. But the most important of them is learning to be financially responsible. Mahirap pala talaga kumita ng pera at lalong mas mahirap kung malayo ka sa mahal mo sa buhay.
 
And then this.
 
However comfortable life seemed to be since I chose to move here comes the trade offs. Nothing comes for free.  And the list for this will go on.
 
So here I am, engaged, 30 years old, on top of my career, making something of myself-yet missing the old self, vaguely knowing what's next for me.
 


Which path to take? Follow the heart or let the mind rule? Now what Tets? :(
