My sisters abroad are encouraging us to pursue our plans in migrating to Canada. Beforehand, we have plans to migrate to Canada, but there were change of plans. Abeth and I are hesitant to pursue our application because, aside from our canteen business, we both have good-paying jobs here. We’re lucky to have our respective jobs that we can’t afford to lose them by taking our chances in migrating to Canada because we are not sure what the country can give us when we get there. Besides, we don’t have the guts to give up our jobs here because we are contented with what we have right now. We think that we can still give Andre a better future even if we stay here in the Philippines. We just want a simple life, to have our own business, have our own house, and have good-paying jobs. We still believe what this country can give us. It’s slow, but we believe we can make it. Hard work is the key for achieving a good future.

It’s true that there will be a better future for Andre if we’ll stay there, but we also believe that he will have a good future here if he’ll be able to study in a reputable school and if we’ll teach him how to strive and work hard. Life abroad is very fast and there’s a big difference between living in the Philippines and abroad. Life in the Philippines is simpler.

For now, we just want to travel to the US. We want to visit my siblings and go to the famous places in the US, like Disneyland, New York, Hollywood, and experience Vegas vacations. And we’re planning to go there next year sana if our budget permits hehehe.

Maybe my sisters and I have different views in life. But, we’re not closing our doors and migration is still an option if it is really needed. We don’t want to think of the future very much in advance. Life is too short. Baka mamaya we’re preparing too much for the future tapos di na pala tayo aabot sa future. We want to enjoy life, we want to enjoy every single moment of it. Losing a loved one made us realize this. I know God has better plans for us and He’s been so good to us. We can never tell what His future plans are…we can really never tell. For now, we’re enjoying what He’s giving us and thanking Him for all these blessings.
