Ah sorry my primary disk caddy just packed in I had to do a permanent hard install into the case instead, looked like I wasn't getting my operating system back for a few minutes there
I can imagine that it is probably very similar for all pinoy's living abroad, temptation versus their innate loyalty, that's a cultural area where things are surely going to keep on changing over the next few decades.
We have a lad in family whose mum is working abroad to put him through school, specifically for him to study as a Merchant seaman, he blew it and dropped out, got married recently and has no prospects at allhe has no concept of the life he has thrown away or the future he has now guaranteed for him and his wife.
His brother graduated recently not in the merchant navy but in a good trade thank god.
Lord if I had it all to do over again I would have been in Asia in the early 80's one of my mates tried really hard to convince me to do just that way back then.
But now is now and I am happy the way things have turned out in spite of the huge challenges that still face Ana and me
