I’m going home to the Philippine Islands once again.

But this time I’m not excited. I’m happy to see my family once again but the expenses there is something I am not looking forward to. Contrary to popular notion, OFWs like myself sometimes have a hard time going home. The expenses back home sometimes is just so overwhelming and since were home and not working, lahat ng pera palabas at walang papasok.

But apart from that, masaya ako na makakauwi, and I will be attending M’s son’s 2nd birthday party. Excited ako to meet his family at dadalhin ko na rin Mommy ko dahil baka lang naman puwede na siyang mamanhikan? Chos! Ofcourse, happy din ako to spend my birthday with my Mom and brother.

I hope to see my friends too. And maybe just maybe try to enjoy.
