Away From Home




I remember kneeling for HIM at the altar, praying, to reach one goal. Give me this one chance Lord, to overcome self  worth, not only for myself but for my family. 'Til the day came He answered my prayers and off I went. My heart ached as if a force is trying to pull it off my chest as I was about to experience a new challenging life in Saudi Arabia.

I met two friends at the journey. They will become my new family a thousand miles away from home. I struggled painstakingly to understand new beliefs, cultures, and  people of so opposite ways. I learned to speak and read their language. I gained to upgrade my skills and become a much stronger, and fenceful person. It's like being in the jungle,  " This is survival of the fittest."  I miss my old self. The sympathetic listener I used to be, the one with a soft heart.

This new year, I am a step ahead of the ladder in my career, than last year. My countdown begins. I will be free in 2011. I want to go home and hug the love of my life. It would be one of the happiest time of my life.
