First Time Out of Phil

My first blog….since high school I have been using a diary to express myself….everything that I feel, do and will make…. Good to know to have this thing “blog”.

I have been reading some blogs but never had the time to make one.

Anyway I also don’t know what to say or post here.

I think I must start when I set my foot here in Oman to work…

I never thought of going anywhere aside from going to U.S.A. which is my ultimate dream coz of knowing that my Aunt is living there with her family.

I got this strange email...as follows:

This is strange for me because I don’t even know any place such as Muscat, Oman and I received so many of this emails which I have replied and all are asking money in the end. So I ignored it and suddenly my mother told me that I should check with one of my Aunt (who is working in Middle East) if this email is a scam or what. I send her email and she responded….the email is real and the offer is good. So I directly email Wael who send me full details of the company and the offer. I accepted. From that time, I did not get any mails from him. So I was thinking that they changed their mind.

After 4 months, as I was enjoying with my friends at SM Moa, my phone rings. Its unknown number and I answered thinking who it could be. It was Wael, informing me that the visa has been processed  which he will send withon the day and I need to be there December 21…and it is before Christmas. Huhuhuh

It’s now or never…this is a chance I think!

So I decided.....after knowing that there is another Filipina secretary going with me in the same plane and time. - December 21, 2008
