11 things most people living abroad can relate to (11 because why not)

Wala lang. I am in the mood to write today so why not put my thoughts into a blogpost.  Haha! It's been more than 2 years and to be honest, these past few years have taught me a lot about life and myself and I reckon it made me a better version my myself. Kung si Sarah Geronimo pa, Lyda Magdalas version 2.0. Haha! 

Anyway, while I was contemplating on whether or not I will do the laundry today since it's going to rain tomorrow, I've managed to come up with 11 things that I feel like most overseas workers's can relate to. Share this if you like it and you're working abroad! Cheers!

1. When you feel like laundry, cooking and cleaning all happens at the same time and even if you're tired you still have to do it or else, eww dirty undies. #superwoman/man

2. Weather report is life but knowing what to wear or end up dying in the cold is life-er. #yahooweather 

3. Your laptop is your best friend after a long as day. Netflix or that one site you go to that shows HD copies of the newest movies. Haha!

4. When it's your first few days in that new country and you start converting everything and you feel like you're a walking calculator but in the end you've decided to stop because sometimes you feel like you'd rather go hungry and starve to death than eat that bread which costs $5 which is sometimes 2-3 times the price in your home country! #overpriced haha! #loveyourself

5. When you juggle two to three jobs just because there are people relying on you and you're relying on yourself too.

6. That feeling of excitement having to FaceTime/Skype your family and having to speak your own language again. Ahhh. #nosebleed

7.  Buying that one thing you've been saving up for or travelling to a new place you've never been to before but sometimes feeling guilty since even if you have finally achieved what you've been wanting but your family is not there to share the happiness with you. #familyfirst

8. When people back home thinks everything is okay since they see you smiling on photos but after that moment of joy you still end up alone in your room without anyone to talk to. #depressionisreal

9. When you try to learn Hi or hello or how are you in different languages, just because. #nihaoma 

10. When you spend your birthday alone, Christmas alone, etc etc but feeling okay with it as the time goes by because #sanayanlangyan in English, #you'llgetusedtoit #nosebleedtake2

11. When you realise that in everything, God performs miracles to and through you wherever you are in the world. :)
