Experiencing Europe

Everybody dreams of going to Europe, (not for European people, of course, lol). They say that you’re lucky if you will be able to go and find a job in a European territory. You’ll get more compensation and experience different things whilst meeting a lot of new people from different places! Indeed, it is!

 My first few days, weeks rather was awesome! I was able to visit different places that was only visible through my dreams and discover things that are new to me. I get mesmerize every time I feel the coldness of the wind touching my skin, smelling the fresh air and looking at people from different walks of life as they go and pass by at the busiest streets of the city. It’s as if the city or the place itself doesn’t sleep, perhaps they didn’t know what the word “Silence” is.

 For quite sometime, I forgot the reason why I am here! Until one day, I started working!

It was sooooo hard, you have to wake up early in the morning and work for 12 hours or more (case to case basis). If there are special occasions that you want to spend with your family or greet them even online (via skype), you cannot because your boss needs you to work, you have to always put your mobile phone in silence mode and check it only when you have a chance to do so (I usually check mine in the toilet) so that when somebody calls or send you an SMS it will not be so obvious. You have to hide your laptop in your closet or drawer and check on it once in a while (depends if there’s a wifi zone that doesn’t require a password).“EURO” means working a lot in Europe! It’s as if you are working your ass off to earn a lot! You’ll experience back and shoulder pain and a lot more. You can’t complain or ask because aside from not knowing how to speak their language, you don’t want the people who helped you to think that you are complaining so much. The only thing that you can do is to cry out your heart at night when nobody sees you, pretend that everything’s fine and perfect when somebody ask you (especially your family) and pray harder and ask for some signs from HIM, if this is all what He wanted for you!

 There are times that you want to give up and surrender! Hoping that you could go back home and be with your family and spend your time with them giggling and laughing till you lost your voice! But you can’t do any but pause for a while and sigh in between works wishing that this is a just a dream, a way of teaching you what life is all about --- PATIENCE and HARD WORK!!!  PATIENCE because there are different kinds of people that you have to please and HARDWORK because this is what really matters! Those were the things i discovered here and I am still in the process of adjusting and learning all the things that I need to know, little by little! As they say, slowly but surely!
