Ola :)

Beside me is Chinese, on the other side is caucasian, behind me is indian, in front of me are brazilians. Whew.
I'm at the other side of the world!

Today is 11 hours ago in the Philippines, and 7 hours ago in Dubai and Georgia.

Things has been really fast for me lately. But I don't say fast in a bad way. There are times though, that I am caught off-guard with all the things that's been happening. It's amazing you know, how life could give such wonderful surprises.

This is my fourth day in Brazil now. Would you believe that for this month only, I've been to 7 different countries! Not to mention different timezones too! Good thing my watch is not complaining with all the adjustments I made. Seven! Though most are stop-overs during my trip from dubai-manila and manila-brazil, still, it is an amazing fact.
I remember back in college, I told myself that I will never go out abroad to work. When I was a child, I had bad impressions with "old" people who go abroad for work. It seemed to me that working abroad means leaving everything behind, I thought it meant forgetting and starting anew.
The thought of entering the "flying-abroad-for-greener-pastuers" scared the hell out of me when I started working at globe. Reality spoke to me, because I witnessed how my team leads went out of the country to get the opportunity that came their way. And I remember it perfectly, when, for the first time in my life, I asked myself if it is an option for me too. And this happened almost four years ago.

And now, I joined the bandwagon. I am here, at the other side of the world, across the atlantic ocean, with thousands of miles apart from the place I call home.
This is a different challenge I know, and I am looking at this as a good opportunity to grow and mature.

This is my fourth day, and so far, I am enjoying each day. Even if sometimes, I thought I am in another planet with people talking alien words! Hahahaha.
