Change of plans

I didn’t have a plan when I came here in UAE. As always, whenever I make career decision, I just want to earn money and have a different adventure.

I remember what I thought when I graduated college, I didn’t took the board exam immediately because I’m not yet ready, I told my self that I’m tired of studying, really.. Because it doesn’t generate any income. I want to earn money first so I looked for a job. After 3 months I got my first job as a teller in a rural bank, I just had a long vacation and working there seems to be a vacation also. I mean, I don’t have much to do, the working hours are 8am-5pm and no Saturday work, during idle time I would do some crochet, read some books, text all I want, etc. that was almost fun, but the pay was low. After a week I got an interview in a manufacturing company as an accountant, I came to the interview and got the job. I left the rural bank after getting my first salary, which was 2 weeks worth of work. I used that money for my pre-recruitment expenses, as well as daily expenses when I started going to my new work.

I guess it went well, now I’m generating my own income.

After 2 and a half years of working in the manufacturing company I got tired.. The pressure started to get tiring, and being busy became boring. I found a new way to earn income, it changed my mindset financially, that there really is exponential growth which I’ve never learned to exist. I should do it, I know I should. I resigned from work with a big smile on my face. I never thought resigning could be so fun, because I know there’s more to it, outside.

Bitterly sweet I got a job opportunity in Dubai. Sweet because of the experience. So bitter because I have to leave what I’ve just found.. Leaving all the people I love.

Today, thinking back, I wonder.. Did I make the wrong decision? I’m still not sure of the answer. But it’s true however that I just made a fast decision, without much thinking and weighing and everything. And I can taste the bitterness now.. When I think of everyone, what could’ve been..

Still, I thank everyone for the support.. Of me going here. Back then.. We know something will happen and hope all for the best, now.. I still hope for the best, although most of it faded.. The sun still shines at night.
