Facing the Consequences

June 22nd, 2005 · 3 Comments

Yeah your right, I’ve been silence for quite a while. I know what hit me, it was a series of unfortunate events.

I thought for a while na this is a lucky year for me. Ang ganda ng bungad ng bagong taon sa akin, a new job offer that promises to pay better than what I have and everything seems to be falling in it’s proper places.

Last March I decided to leave my company on a bogus “emergency” vacation. I had to grab a rare opportunity of being offered a better pay. I left Saudi Arabia on loan, I just arrive last December & here I am now wanting to leave, inutang ko lang ang pamasahe ko pauwi with high hopes na pag balik ko ay babayaran ko ito. A friend readily lend his hand, pinahiram n’ya ako ng pambili ng ticket.

To make the long story short, nakarating ako sa Pilipinas & immediately proceeded with the process of returning back this time earning big. Pero di pala lahat ng pangarap ay natutupad (in fact, ala yata akong pangarap na natupad.), di lahat ng gusto mo mangyayari. My case was elevated into “hypertension” during my medical examination, lahat naman ng test ay ok, buti na lang wala akong HIV, hehehehe!

I tried to plead my case, I offered to accomplish an affidavit mentioning that the company will not be liable in case I got repatriated because of such “illness”, but my plea was dismissed:

Sir, we regret to inform you that p*** decided to cancel your application. TY. M** of SBMS

Now I’m left with nothing except the debt that I left back in Saudi Arabia. All I can do now is to try to return back to the company that I left behind & hope that they will accept me back, this is the only way para mabayaran ko ang utang ko.

Tang ina talaga minsan ang buhay! I can’t blame anybody except my diet & my way of life, if not because of this stupid illness, malaki na sana sweldo ko. Wadapak!

    please hang in there. We take risk and make decision without any guarantee and those men who are brave to take those risk are the one who yields more at the end.

    I wish you the best and don’t ever get scared of taking a risk again. Just learn from it but never give up.

    *hugs*
