Hello everyone!
Hope all are safe and well! โบ๏ธโค๏ธ๐
The past days have been really busy for me, and itโs all because Iโve been accompanying someone special here in Manila who is working on documents and requirements for going abroad. I thought it would just be a matter of submitting papers and waiting for approval, but I was wrong. Thereโs so much more behind the scenes that many people donโt see and itโs not easy at all.
We always have to leave early in the morning, hoping to make it on time, but traffic in Manila can be unpredictable. Even with an early start, we still end up stuck on the road and arriving at the agency a little later than planned.
Since Iโm not familiar with the process of preparing to work abroad, Iโve been learning along the way. Itโs not just about getting a job offer, you have to comply with so many requirements, from personal documents to medical tests, each with its own steps. And once you think youโre done, you often find yourself going back to the same office for additional papers or missing details.
There are also various fees to pay, and at times, weโve had to walk several kilometers from one office to another under the hot sun. Every requirement comes with its own effort, patience, and sweat, literally!
What makes it even more stressful is when problems with the documents arise. Even small errors, missing details, or mismatched information can cause delays or, worst case, stop someone from working abroad entirely.
Right now, weโre facing another challenge. In his previous agency, he wasnโt able to fly for the job he applied for because he lacked the placement fee. We were expecting that with his new job offer from a different agency, he could finally fly abroad next week. However, another problem has come up, he needs to settle the pending issue with the previous agency, pay the necessary amount, and get cleared from them as soon as possible before he can proceed with the new opportunity.
I truly hope everything gets resolved quickly so he can finally make his dream of working overseas a reality.
By the way, here I am while walking in Arca South, going back to my sisterโs place from the agency in Manila. That day was so tiring, but Iโm glad I was able to capture a happy moment. ๐คญ Itโs a reminder of the resilience needed for the long days and countless steps weโve taken in this journey.
Because of all these busy days, I havenโt had much time here and wasnโt able to reply to some comments. But I promise Iโll get back to everyone and engage again actively.
Have a Blessed Friday everyone! ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Thank You Lord for the blessings and love!
Be grateful in every little/simple things and youโll find happiness you ever wanted! ๐๐๐
Everyday is worth to be grateful of!
Praying for the safety and wellness of all.
Heal Our Land Oh God!
