Catching Up!

It's been a long time since I wrote my last blog. I was trying to write two months ago but I wasn't able to finish it because I had a hard time uploading pictures. I just deleted three paragraphs of that post.

There's a lot of things that happened from the time I wrote. My bebe left the country last March 27 which is a day after I started my employment with a new company. By the way, I'm now working in a bank. The saddest part was, I wasn't able to bid farewell personally to my bebe because I have to go to work at 1:30 pm. He left by 9:20 pm and my shift ends at 10:30 pm. Too bad! The last time I saw him was when me, his brother and nieces met up with him, his mom, sisters, nephew and grandson in Mall of Asia.

I didn't have much time to say a proper goodbye because everyone was there. All I can do is look him in the eye and sa goodbye. I wanted to hug him but there's nothing I can do. I just thought, since we had the chance when I went to Lucena with him 4 days before his departure. We had the time to have ourselves ready to part ways temporarily and promised each other to be online as often as possible. We still do it until today. The only thing I hope is, hindi siya magsawa kaka-online.

I miss my bebe so much. It's a bit ok thanks to technology! Internet made everything a bit easy for us to adapt, we're still trying to adapt since he's been there for a month and a half.

i try to be online almost everyday, but there are times when I tend not to because of somethings that happened and kailangan ko nang ipagpabukas ung internet. I know my bebe understands and as much as I wanted to speak with him everyday, sometimes I get tired because of work, or I have to be with my mom to look out for her.

I'm happy that he's been doing well so far. When he got there, his apartment is semi furnished, and he only has to buy a few things because all the things he needed to survive is almost complete there. I'm happy also because he was able to have internet connected, bought a washing machine plus dryer and a flat screen tv. At least he won't be going to work with dirty clothes and he doesn't have to have a laptop infront of him all the time since he can also watch television.

Knowing those things made me not to worry too much. The only thing I worry about is, he might get homesick all the time. It might affect his work and of course, on how he'lllive his everyday life there.

It's good that whenever we talk, he was able to let them out. All I can do is listen, understand and comfort him. I don't eant him to feel lonely. I want him to feel that we are just here for him. I'm even encouraging him to have new friends there para naman maaliw siya. May mga nakilala na naman siya pero hi and hello pa lang nagaganap. Siguro kung matagal na siya doon, in 4 mos ok na siya.

Sana makapag-ipon ako para mabisita ko siya in a years time. I wanted to see where he lives, how he lives and which places he can go there.

I know it's not easy for him. I just want him to know that we're just right here in the Philippines. We're just a Ym, Fb or text away. He just have to think that he's in a province here and we're in Manila.

I hope he does adapt. I just wanted him to be safe there.
