Ever since i had my first taste of the reality of life in the Philippines, there's nothing i would want more than to leave Philippines. Got a good education and grabbed the first opportunity to greener pasture.
Three weeks after arriving in England, i started a job. First year was busy as I have to start from scratch. Got a driver's license, took tests for my professional registration, bought a house, etc.
I met good friends. Have good paying job. Have a house. Two years later, we planned of moving abroad. Took tests again and now we're heading for US. Got registered and started looking for employers. But it takes two to tango...my husband wasn't making a move. So that dream is gone.
A year later, my sister arrived here for good. It made life so much easier, at least i have a family here now. I have a great bro-in-law who is also my colleague and a beautiful niece.
Now, a year has passed and still unhappy. Why? I don't know exactly. I now have what i always wanted... a good job, a house, a car and a husband. I would not like anything else (materially anyway). Maybe my marriage? I am not going to hide, we are having problems. Or maybe is it me affecting our marriage? Still unsure.
At the age of 26 and have lived here in England for 4 years, many people said "The world is my Oyster". It's really true "There's no place like home". I am not even like some of you who have big families. All i have are my 2 sisters and my parents back home. I have cousins whom i rarely see and spoke to. I don't know maybe i'm just a miserable git who doesn't know what she wants exactly.
I am now working hard to save money to make a good start for myself back to the Philippines.
