Sometimes it's really depressing to be in this country. It's when you pause and realize that even with an above-average salary, that middle-class dream of yours is still very hard to reach. When you start thinking about wedding costs, a lot, a house, a car, kids, etc and how you are going to finance all these between you and your future spouse, you get even more depressed.
And then you remember that more than a quarter of your above-average salary doesn't belong to you, but to your government. Then you hear reports that your country is the most corrupt in the world (?), and that 40% of the taxes you pay goes to corruption.
Two of my officemates have resigned to work abroad. And I'm thinking -- maybe I should give that option a little bit more consideration.

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, what you read, what you know, what breaks your heart, & what amazes you with joy & gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love & it will decide everything." -Pedro Arrupe, SJ

ok lang yan. basta dapat pagbalik mo from abroad, may pambili na tayo ng bahay. wahahaha!
but seriously, kaw bahala. let's weigh the pros and cons na lang when the opportunity comes. =)
i echo your sentiments. esp at this point in my life when i'm seriously considering what the future holds. working abroad? hmm, will have to give it a thousands thoughts first. but i wish you the best. sayang talaga di tayo nagkita! next time!!!
Pero mahirap din kasi careers for AGENTS abroad are disappearing. They're outsourcing to countries like ours, what with the CENTER we're working with right now. Well you never know what's good or bad.=P
