Dear Reader,

It was my 8th month anniversary in Dubai last May 12, 2008. I never realized it not until I wrote something on my calender schedule regarding maturities of the loans my company is paying every now and then. It was so fast and I feel like I have been here for a long time already. I still don't know if I will be staying here for good or I will fulfill my dream of living in the United States. It's a tough decision hah? There's a lot of things I want to do in life like studying again for an MBA course and traveling to Hongkong, Thailand and Singapore. Later next year my friends and I are planning to have a Europe tour. I am happy that I have friends here because I don't feel alone. I wonder what my life would be without them here in Dubai. It really help ease the sadness you feel when you are away from your family. A few more months then it will be a year for me already. I am glad that I decided to come and work here inspite the fact that I will really miss my family. Regardless, I'm still happy because now I can send them money whenever I want to. I can feel that my dad and my mom are very proud of me for the achievements that I have now. Even though for me this is just the beginning of my career. I thank my parents a lot and I love them so much. Just hearing their voice on the phone makes me cry all the time because I really miss them. The day that really makes me very afraid will be the time that they will say goodbye to me. I don't know how to take the feeling for that one. But I have accepted that people must go somewhere else when their destiny have been fulfilled already. That is why on my way home on my second year here in Dubai I will treasure my vacation with them. It will only be just for my family. I been making a list for our tour when I go home. I will make sure that they will be very happy. Anyways I have to work now because this work will be the source of funding the tours that I will have. Happy anniversary to me! Next time I will have a dinner for myself in a fine dining restaurant. Till next time!

Thanking You,
