Day 27: A Year

A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then

I’ve decided to not post any photos and to just write about how I’ve changed since last year.

Where to start? A year of living outside of the Philippines has been an incredible experience, truth be told. I’ve learned so many new things about myself, other people and just about everything. I have had to adapt to my new surroundings and more importantly, how to deal with people of different cultures and personalities.

Work-wise, I feel… content. There are still moments when I feel frustrated about certain things but it’s a bit easier now. I will need to work on not becoming too emotionally attached because it’s very draining and nothing comes out of it anyway. So there.

I can’t say the same thing financially. I haven’t made a major dent in my debts but I know that somehow, someday, I’ll be able to clear them out. We’re hoping that after the condo gets done, it’ll be able to fend itself then we can start paying up stuff.

As for our family life, we’re doing good. We always have and I don’t expect that to change. It’s always the one thing that I can depend on to be okay when everything else falls apart around me.
