It's been a year and 5 months since i've left home. I really miss my family specially my boyfriend Aron. He's been a good and a loving boyfriend to me. He's been so very supportive. Even though he don't like me to work away from him or from my family but still he allows me just not to hurt my feelings because he know that i really like to work here. Working is not that easy specially when your loved ones are far from you. A lot of filipino workers here feels the same way as i do.Im glad that this coming March i will be going home soon. As i've told Aron about it. He's very happy. And preparing for my arrival.

Yesterday,we had our company meeting. All the dayshift and middleshift were gathered in the basement. All of us were excited because we were thinking that our HR will gave us our yearly bonus which is a gift check of one of the store here. But unexpectedly,she announced that the company can't afford us to finish our contract. So she said that for those who are willing to go home,they can go without any payment. As the requirements of Republic of China, all Overseas Filipino Workers who are voluntarily end their contracts are requested to pay the Bridge of Contract. So our company didn't follow that rule. They let us decide wether to stay of to go home. But if ever we will stay, we don't know what will happen for the rest of the months that we are still staying here. They said that is it ok with us to just work for 2 days in a week. I decided to go home. I don't want to have another mistake again.

Our supervisor invited us to have a little tour in one's of the kiddy or shall i say adults ride here in taiwan. The Leofoo Village...i think this was the most awesome New Year I've ever had in my almost 2 years here. Last year's New Year we only just ate and have some dancing with friends. But this one was different. Their were lots of rides that can be for adults and for the kids but mostly is for the adults. I admit, i'm afraid of heights but my friend Jane forced me to try all the rides just to conquer my fear. But the more try, the fearness in me was changed into some sort of an excitement.It was really fun...

the Wild River..it was really wild!!!

I really feel bad about what my friend told me. She said that she took pity on me. Everytime we don't have a work, or only seldom can work i am not included. It is because i have a partner and he is being priorities with our supervisor. What really bothers me was that my partner told me that our supervisor don't trust me if he will let me do the work. He thinks that i don't know how to operate the machine or what so ever. So i told my partner why did he change me in the first place if he doesn't trust me? What am i still doing here? And all the trained you had taught me? All of that was no used.I really feel bad about it..But thankfully, i do have a duty these evening because my partner will be going home. But the sad thing is that if he doesn't need to go home today i don't still have any work today.

I am very thankful that these week i work for 5 days. Its rear though nowadays. I hope this week it's the same as these week. Our last day of work is today...Sunday. Time to spend family gatherings and hearing mass. But for me that is away from home I only hear mass today and go home right away. Though i have friends here but family is very much different. I really miss them so much..

At my work today, me and my chinese partner only used one machine, his machine because mine has got a problem in it's program. They need to gey it repair outside. We used his machine for 8 hours, what a ppor machine..while we were waiting, surpricingly my partner asked me some words that he wants to know whats the english word of it. I told him everything he wants to know. I'm kind a happy for him atleast he learned some words and even escaped from the world of sleepiness.

Today is our monthsary with my boyfriend. And i don't feel like texting him or even call him or not even a chat. I don't know whats really inside me right now. But i'm happy that he texted me. Im that selfish hah..anyways, someone gave me a ring just this morning. I wasn't expecting it. This man is Uncle Don. He's the husband of aunt Mylee my Godmother. And also he is the one who helped me why i am here in taiwan right now. He let me borrowed a big amount for my placement fee and even a single cent i haven't paid him yet. It's been a year now since i haven't talked to him. I was able to sent him a birthday card last year but i met an accident. Thats why i was failed to sent him one. I'm planning to call him but i'm ashame of myself that until now i haven't pay him. And now that i already talked to him, i am very happy hearing his voice. He was very worried about me here upon hearing that our company went really bad this year. He told me that i should not think about it and everything will get better next time. I told him that i wasn't expecting these to happen. He said that all of us were not expecting it. We all expect it for the better. And that he was not worried about anything else. He's worried about me and my health conditon here. I told him that i was sorry for everything that had happen right now. I just want to help my family. He is really a great man and a very understanding person. He promised me to give me a ring sometime to check on me here. And im looking forward on it.

Today is the birthday of my boyfriend Aaron. He's such a nice guy and he loves me so much. We've been together for 5years now and this is the 2nd time that i am not around in his birthday. And for a tribute in his birthday, mama cooked lunch for him. He went to our house and spent time there eating with mama, ging2x my sister and my 2 cousins. Mama cooked delicious food for him. While me here ate very bad food...almost every meal all chicken. I already call him to greet him Happy Birthday. He sounded very sad because he said that he misses me so badly. I miss him too...hopefully next year, we will meet again. This coming sunday October 14 will be our 5 years and 1 monthsary. Quite that long...i hope thing will get more better for us.

Although i miss my family so much i am thankful that i have my wonderful friends that can gave my smiles everytime i have my ups and downs. They really are a good friends to me. Here are my friends...

Last week friday and saturday we dont have work because of the typhoon. And now, just another week started and yet my department still dont have a work until Wednesday because of their Dragon festival is coming and also we don't have a costumer as of now to order in our product. All night and day I am sleeping, eating, watching DVD movies. A boring days...Some of my friends were joking that we we're not here to work, we are here to have our vacation. Working here is just our part-time job. We have plenty of rest here in Taiwan. As of now, Im hoping and praying that our company will have a good costumer again. In God's will...
