    Working abroad is not that bad, some guys are on 28 days on / 28 days off rotation. Me, Im on 3 months on & 1 month off so not bad considering you've got the chance to go home 3 months in a year.

    Kaya yan. Its a matter of mindset. But if you're the type who is attached to family and friends, or not adventurous, its not advisable for you to go, unless you make friends easy. Mabu-buang ka lang. I've worked outside and pushed it really hard. But then after experiencing too much politics as you progress at work, sabi ko, its not worth it, uwi na lang ako at mag-negosyo. Life is too short to waste time on office politics.

    I've learned a lot of things from the human race and certainly have matured from the experience.

    evey 28 days I go home sa pinas and in my experience wala na ang mga buwaya sa airport customs kasi naka video na sila so me ibidinsya.

    Ang nakakainis ngayon ang mga taxi. Sorry OT na

    Kaya mo yan I was 21 yrs old when I went to Saudi and talagang mahirap tapos bundok pa at destino, you have to travel 100Km just to buy your grocery stuff then kung good quality items ang gusto mong mabili 600KM one way to Jeddah ang ibibiyahe mo.

    Sa panahon ngayon di ka na maho homesick kasi me internet na, malaking tulong ang mga websites that provides free live streaming shows etc para mawala ang homesick mo.

    Bakit naman hindi?

    Para sa akin, yung incident sa Luneta woud never stop me from going home.
    Babalikan ko pa rin ang Pilipinas, whatever it would be.

    Did it once years ago for a couple of summers, when I was still single....

    If I have a choice, and now that I have a family, it is my earnest desire not to do it again.....

    26yrs. that's a lot of sacrifices and experiences. kwento din ng co-worker ko, inabot niya pa yung sulat at voice tape lang nung nasa saudi pa sya.

    mag 2years pa lang ako, 1 year sa SG at ngayon medyo malayo, africa.
    buti no problema sa facilities, cable at internet. at least bawas homesick.

    Kakayanin yan ang positive ability ng pinoy.

    It happened to me before. I arrived here alone and felt estranged of the place. Time comes along at marami na ring nakilalang mga kababayan.
