Who will thought that I will go and reach places?! I was once a student dreaming of travelling beautiful places in the Philippines and I did.. Using the saved allowances I have from my parents I was able to have vacations during my college days in Laguna, Batangas, Quezon, Mindoro, and Pampanga. I have frequently visited these places coz these are the affordable ones and these will be coming in my own pocket.
When I had my job in Globe Telecom, the places I visited grew up in a wider scale. I was able to visit places that I thought I cannot visit when I was a student. Mastering the areas in North Luzon like Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Isabela, Sagada, Baguio, Pangasinan, Ilocos Sur, and Ilocos Norte. In South Luzon, I already visited Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Bicol, and Sorsogon. In Visayas region, I've been already in Palawan, Bacolod, Iloilo, Guimaras, Antique and Aklan.
I thought I will just be satisfied to see the wonders of the Philippines. But giving the opportunity to soar high in my career, I was able to reach outside my boundaries.
Working with pleasure is such a blessing for us to have, you will go and see places that are free and the same time you are enjoying.. Visiting some of the counties I've been like in Australia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Dubai, and Brazil is really an amazing part of my life. I was just blessed to be in these places and explore the wonders they have. Though times maybe lonely but just to think of it that very few are given the opportunity to go outside of our boundaries, and the least that I can do is to enjoy what I have right now with no regrets.
February 25, 2008 Port Vila, Vanuatu – this time I was tested once again.. saying goodbye has been always accompanied me every time I need to accept a new project.. this is the 2nd time that happened to me and it seems that it doesn’t made me a strong person. It’s very difficult to tell someone who has been very dear to you to say the word “goodbye”.. yet its one word but its very difficult to say.. it seems that the attachment and bonding you’ve had hinders to say that word and there is that magnet that attracts and its very hard to let go.. Telling my friends in Port Vila that I’m leaving in less than a week time, my remaining days seem to be a very long and tiring days.. There are many sleepless nights for me and always thinking that do I need to leave Vanuatu? Why should I? I am happy staying here.. no problems.. no hassle.. living life at its best.. so what’s the reason for me leaving Vanuatu?!
Maybe this is really me.. contentment is really hard to achieved.. one must not stop from dreaming.. hoping.. and imagining.. every success will not be sweet without any risk to take at all.. and this will be the risk I need to take.. leaving Vanuatu and going to other part of the world despite of the luxury I am getting in Vanuatu, makes this all very complicated and hard for me to decide but I MUST TO!!!
People do really come and go.. there is no PERMANENT in this world.. its either you leave or you being left..
But at the end of the day, you should not forget that once in your life you came across with the persons you’ve met along your journey and they have played a significant role in our lives. I will surely miss Vanuatu and all my friends there. They have been very good to me and consider as my 2nd home and 2nd family. As what they say with the tagline in Vanuatu: “OTHERS call it paradise, but WE call it home”…
