on moving

April 24, 2007

something that i wanna share…this question was asked by my dearest friend armi and thought that i should share it here in my blog.  i have edited it a bit so it looks more like a blog entry.

Are you happy and contented with being away from the country and far from your loved ones? the answer is YES.

even if the moving part, being alone here, being away from everyone and everything i have known and leaving the life i've built in the phils behind was the most painful thing that i have done to myself, i have no regrets.  certainly, there are  rewards for people who aim to spread their wings in order to better themselves.  these rewards may be material, physical, mental, financial, etc.  my rewards, on the other hand, is personal.

i came here thinking only of securing the future of our soon-to-be family (that was all in my mind then)…i never thought i would be able to find myself here and discover what my optimum potentials are. 

a few weeks ago i have discovered this:

i'm beginning to understand that i will always miss my parents and friends and that i do want to be with them.  but i think one of my missions right now is to be where i am so that i could share what i'm learning outside the philippines.  my greatest learning so far is that i am one bit of miniscule in the entirety of the world and that i am no one really.  this gives me so much humility because it makes me realize that there are other things more important than my concerns in life.  living outside the philippines has taught me the meaning of BEING and i'm forever changed because i know more, i listen more and i share more.

the ones written above are my personal realizations (coming from the deep recesses of my heart), what i really feel now towards my moving here.  the miniscule-in-the-entirety-of-the-world part comes from my learning on travel—kasi that's what travel does to you talaga, it teaches you to be humble, that you are a just a tiny speck here on earth…na there's a lot more things na dapat you concern yourself with. 

so there.  a piece of my mind and heart on moving.  the road i have taken was not an easy one but it does have its rewards.  no matter what happens, i will always be grateful that i was given the opportunity to move here.
