One-month old

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." Its been a month since I ticked off one of my childhood bucketlist : to ride an airplane.but more than that its been a month working here abroad..Looking back, it was a constant struggle of choice between the setting I hold so dearly versus the thing that I've always dreamed of.I am at my crossroads when God let me choose between two childhood dreams: to be a clinical instructor at a university in baguio or work as a laboratory technologist abroad.( see how great God is for giving me more than I asked for!)

Its been a month when I arrived here in Al Ain UAE. That "alien" feeling!Everything's new.That sometimes i yearn of things I got used to in the Philippines: food,the comfort of our home/my own room,my family and friends,and traffic(haha!).But thinking about it,when i am at home i constantly yearn of what is readily available where i am right now: better paying-job,affordability of things,a leap of  my career growth and more of making dreams come true.And what makes me sad at times is the reality that I can never have both worlds at the same time.

So far, everything's going just fine.Its an answered prayer for surrounding me with good Filipino/kabayan around that makes me feel at home..And i am way too thankful for having been trained and prepared for this by my OLLH family. Now i understand why my plans didn't work out because He certainly got better plans for me.For now, its simply trusting more of God's plan!

Here's one thing I learned: You need a backbone and not a wishbone for making your dreams come true!

Goodnight.Happy monthsary💛
