My one week vacation is now over.
As I am writing this blog, I am aboard the Jetstar flight bound to Singapore. Tomorrow I will have to report back to work. There is much work that I left behind so I am expecting some extended working hours this week.
This entry's tone is sad as you might have noticed. It is because now I know how an OFW feels. When I first left to work in Singapore, I was very excited. In fact I couldn't sleep the night before my flight due to my excitement. But now, I just feel that my vacation wasn't enough, that I am not yet ready to go back and work under a foreign land. I already miss my parents, siblings, and especially my son.
Working in Singapore is not really that bad nor sad. After all there are many Filipinos there. And I have made quite a number of friends there both foreign and local on my almost one year of stay. But then again, a home is different from a house. Home is where my friends are. Home is where my relatives are. Home is where my mother, brother, sister, and son is staying.
Home is where someone is always thinking of you.
I'm just glad I also found a home in Singapore. She will be more than enough to keep me working until we can go back again in the Philippines.
