One Year Down

Missed blogging about it, but May 20 marks one year since I left the Philippines. One year in this country, trying my best to make a living, trying to keep body and soul together for as long as possible.

Finding myself crushed under an overwhelmingly unreasonable workload. Deadlines and project goals and ship dates fly by in a blur, and I find myself up at 3 AM on a Sunday morning, staring for hours on end at a SIP packet trace from a box somewhere in Karachi trying to figure out a way to route data around the government data interchange.

Still no overtime, no benefits, and not much money left in the bank account. Still, keeping at it, just a few more months, I keep telling myself. Just a few more months.

Then hopefully, it’s back to picking up the pieces of my life and attempting to put it back together. Somehow.

    1 year na ba?? Goodness. Well ganyan talaga, kayod ng kayod.

    You’re single, you can party just as hard as you can work. Right?
