I met with Jason and his officemate for dinner earlier at Glorietta. They’re both talking about their work and finding a job abroad. His officemate – Marco – is just waiting for his visa to arrive probably by next month and off he go to the land of chinky eyed chinese and nightlights – Hongkong.

Jason and I have had some talks about working outside the Philippines. I was even advised by a fortune teller that my luck is really abroad. We both agreed that he should be the one to get a job first in whichever country he wants since its easier for me to get a job ‘coz my field is more in demand than his. Jason’s been trying for almost a year now, but somehow, there has been some problems with his applications.

But with what i have heard from him earlier, he’s pretty determined to land a job abroad early next year. And of course, this means that i will have to follow him wherever that is and leave my current work and this God-forsaken country. Oh but i don’t want to leave yet – not with my current job that i have learned to love. If ever, this will be the first time that i’ll be leaving my work against my will and with a really heavy heart.

Oh well, i guess ill just enjoy it while it last. Anyway, its still a few months away and who knows what will really happen by then… we might get a really good break here without having to leave (wishful thinking)…
