My LIFE has changed in FOREIGNLAND...

I've always loved to travel and I'm pretty sure most of us would like to experience a new place to explore. I envied by those rich people that can afford to spend time by going to one place and another instantly. How I wish and pray I'm one among them!... I indeed would like to see historical places in Europe, USA and the rest of the seven continents! However I surely was stucked on my ambition so therefore my desire to see and live in those places considered as a fantasy in some movies that I've been started watching and only wait till it ends. If I couldn't fall asleep I can see it as whole. The truth is - I ain't lose hope yet in getting in those places and I'm hoping for that magical day will come someday... Furthermore, I'm lucky, I am grateful and I am happy because I've reached Qatar last year, one portion in the universe that is well known for a crime-free-country due to its very strict rules and will likely to suck the living life out of me. It's been a long dreamed when I decided to leave my beloved country and find my luck abroad. And luck (I can say) finally knocked one day November, 2010. It's a job offer fr0m LML agency in Ermita, Manila after I've signed up an acc0unt @ www.workabroad.com.ph ... This time I wasn't afraid or had a doubt that it might be fake as most of our Kababayan have been through and I experienced it myself as well. So I grabbed the chance!... With full of enthusiasm and excitement I go through a final interview on November 17, 2010. I've passed and been chosen so they began pr0cessing my papers. My visa has arrived in 2 weeks. After 60 days of waiting I finally left Philippines, on the 28th day of January last year. Up until very recently, it was on the 29th of January at around 2:00 o'clock dawn when I stepped my feet down on the land of Qatar. It's been the sec0nd country (Hong Kong in 2004) I've been actually reached in my whole life through. I left my country and I came to Qatar and been at A La Mode Style Studio - Qatar as hairstylist for 8 months and basically I hate it so I again moved in Bahrain on October 02, 2011. With God's grace I'm very lucky that I landed in a more liberal country in the Middle East (Kingdom of Bahrain). My journey starts 2nd of October 2011 which I feel more conductive - the working environment as well as my accommodation which I enjoy my privacy. In my first week I didn't feel any homesickness dealing with new friends and colleagues. And of course with my childhood friend, Joseph is here in Bahrain, also that made me more confident. So far I already visited the good places and few distance of each malls in the Seef business district and the capital Manama areas. I frequently attend mass during Sundays to give respect the Sabbath Day!...
