Au Revoir

I'll soon be leaving for Manila to work there. Am I scared? In a way, yes, but I am also excited to be away from here for a while.

There are still some hassles coz for one, we still haven't found a place to stay as of this moment. Well, my brother still lives with his (former) classmate in Pritil, Tondo, but I don't think I'd feel comfortable living there. One is because I find it far from our workplace. I don't want to commute that far after my working hours are done. I hate traffic jams! (Though I know that's something I have to deal with everyday.) Another is the feeling of wanting to be lying on my bed immediately after stepping out of the office. Let's just say that for me, sleeping is a luxury and a necessity at the same time that I don't want to miss. We also don't have any furnitures and appliances yet so we will really start from scratch.

And yes, you read it right that my brother is also working. Indeed, I feel bad about it because he is already supposed to be graduating next year with a degree in Nursing, but with our current situation at home, we felt there's no other option but for him to skip this school year. Sorry, Kelvin! But I know he'll get by. See, nauna pang nagtrabaho ang mokong kesa sa akin. Hahaha! Tell him about being excited! LOL! But I also know that deep inside, he is also saddened by the turn of events. Yet, he has a very strong faith in God so I know he'll surely be fine. Love you, bro!

I'll be leaving behind my dad, my elder brother, and my boyfriend here in the province. Oh, my bestfriends, too, George and Jeng and Claire. But I guess sacrifices really need to be made, no matter how bad I feel about it, even if I know I'll be crying over this fact for the longest time.

So, am I now ready? Well, I have to be. I cannot be "not ready" for this leap because there are a lot of things at stake here.

Au revoir!
