Life abroad is not paradise.

at least life abroad is more descent compared here in the Philippines... and you have less worries about poverty around, street children, shanty houses, CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS living like a king and queen, unsolved murder case, and wastage of public money which really really caused pain in my heart..

besides life abroad goes well if you just live within the range of your salary. not like here where the so called minimum wage is not decent enough for a family of 3 or 4 members. its a blatant denial of right to have a living wage.. at least life abroad has many opportunities.. at least life abroad has a clean environment.. and heinous crimes are competently resolved.. anyway not all the times that it is all about money.. i prefer to have a minimal income but have optimal peace of mind..

you cant have peace of mind here in the philippines except if you just look out for yourself and ignore the treacherous surroundings. in U.S. their politics is still coupled with principles. how about here? i dont see even a scintilla of sense of delicadeza from our politicos..


GOD help Philippines.

you're talking in a generalized state of mind. don't generalize everything.

not all places in the US are good as not all places in the Philippines are bad either.

i agree

hehehe

[gikapoy]

good for you. good luck on your trip.



a very good example of just how much pinoys abroad suffer just to make their families comfortable back home.

then ang mga taw sa atoa palabi lang. di gani hapit maka appreciate sa mga efforts sa ilang loved ones nga naa sa abroad.

Life abroad is not always paradise, as the title suggest.

cge nalang gud taga i nalang na ato parinti ug chance hehehe
ako bitaw inig uli sa ako mga barkada ug family ra pakita hehehe
dili na sa parinti hehehe

i can still recall my first year here...la pa car, so we have to walk at least 3 miles para mag grocery..first day of work, ako carpool wla ko gkuha so namara intawn ko ug car para lang makareport sa work (luckily ako naparahan ntawn kay perting bootana and police cya who happens to be my neighbor) and first winter, magtulo imo sip-on sa kabugnaw and magsagol imo luha coz u'r missin home...

i dont find it wrong and pitiful of what this situation is.
If you come to think of it, Its your FIRST year, FIRST day of work...
If this happens when its your 5th year and your 5th year on your working career...then I would consider.

3 miles of walking seems unrealistic, you must be in a very remote suburb in America.
Carpooling is a norm usually practiced in the west coast.

give yourself 3 years from.
Dont complain, everyone goes through such stepping stone, somewhat the road to success....

Here in th Philippines....Your chance to sustain your needs is so bleak.

No Offense.
Immediate family is noble.
But Relatives versus "barkada"? You better check you senses.
