Away

AND NOW WE BAADEEYA OUR WAY INTO SEPTEMBER HAHAHAH Apologies for the two consecutive duds on the previous months, know na I am back on track and ready to make the monthly letters stack!

So I'll be writing september's month's letter during today's no electricity day. August 30.

HAHAHAHA grabe as I'm writing this bumalik na yung kuryente saamin how exciting!!!

Nevermind, I'm writing this August 31 kasi syempre pagbalik ng kuryente I'd rather be on call with you man kasi amishu hehehe

So yes hello magandang good morning baby ko! This month's theme is “away”

I got the theme idea from watching yung season 8 ng The Rookie hehe

Sa english, away is a term used to describe stuff that are “at a distance” which we are grabe na iyan. It's been more than a month na since our Hong Kong journey and I can't help but get episodes talaga of missing the days na togetherness man tayo araw araw!

Much like in the show wherein si Rodge ay Celina ay nag e-LDR, I'm out here thinking about my Doc Cutie man!

In the show also there's currently tension between si Nolan pati si Bailey kasi she got offered a Job sa Washington and Nolan wants to stay rito sa L.A. I can't help but think of yung future natin HAHAHAHA

I've been putting effort recently into getting another job anoh kasi to be honest, di parin nawawala yung idea sa utak ko na our future could be so much better talaga if I'm earning in a foreign currency. Nabalitaan ko recently na tumaas nanaman yung dollar to peso ratio kaya it's getting me thinking nanaman HAHAHAH tapos of course everytime I talk to Ima she's sell me on the idea na ang ganda sa Australia and how she wants us to move there rin.

I don't know if namention ko na to ever sayo pero she always brings up nga how super in demand yung O.T., and Doctors, and pretty much every med field dun. Kaya nagresonate talaga sakin yung dilemma nila Nolan and Bailey HAHAHAH Nolan doesn't wanna move kasi it implies na he has to start over again sa career (much like how you wouldn't really be inclined to re-study abroad) while ako naman I want to earn more money HAHAHAH to be honest, di kami same ni Bailey in that sense kasi she's just about the mental stimulation of it, and tbh I think satisfied naman ako sa work ko right now in that aspect.

My point here is, I'm really hoping to find a remote job HAHAHHAH

Another cause of this thinking nga nanaman is yang estado ng Pinas HAHAHHA everytime I talk to lola rin she tells me how pessimistic she is of the future of the country. Apparently si Rina (anak ni Lola Biring) bumili ng house recently at 1 Million down payment, 50k per month for 10 years (equalling 6 Million) for a house and lot that's ~90 sqm lang.

For context, we apparently bought yung land na to at around 4k pero sqm lang and our house and lot is around 500 sqm daw (2 Million pesos)

So now I'm thinking about if the rate of increase they're giving me here sa Oboda be able to keep up with inflation and my desire to afford a luxurious lifestyle with you? only time will tell

Migration is still the last thing on my mind, to be honest, Australia was the option earlier this year lang just cause andun sila Ima and I was worrying for them so meaning out of the question talaga ang magmove or even mag apply sa ibang bansa.

On the same episode Bailey had the offer, si Wesley binigyan din ng offer to run for District Attorney. So the winning relationship talaga is wherein it's either both are in or both are out.

AND SO THE THEME IS AWAY.

Now the other meaning naman of away is sa tagalog HAHAHHA

Natetest talaga yung resilience ng relationship through yang mga away eh noh AHHAHAH A little share ko lang din noh, prior to our hongkong trip a part of me was lowkey scared din na mangyare ulit yung nangyare nung Cebu trip natin HAHAHA so shoutout sa feet ko talaga for making us have a common enemy so di tayo naging against each other the whole trip.

I really like it when we have a common enemy anoh HAHAHA I mean I'm not saying naman na gusto kong magkaroon tayo ng conflict among us 2 para matest yung resilience, to be honest I think us vs anything tests resilience rin!

If may natutunan man ako sa Ted Lasso it's na internal conflict should be something to get rid of in a team so we could focus on our conflict against external stuff!

I don't know what the future holds for us anoh possibleng magkaroon ng opportunity na lumipat ng bansa or possible rin namang hindi HAHAHAH basta two things are constant for sure:

• No matter what event life throws at either of us, we'll make the decision together
• Yayaman ako para satin, either makahanap ng remote work, or magsimula ako ng business dito, or we hit it big sa Oboda, or we end up migrating talaga, walang pipigil saatin sa pagiging constant travelers

kasi gagi hanggang ngayon sinasakyan ko parin yung high ng Hongkong HAHAHHAHA

I don't want to be away from you so I pray that I find a way to not be away from you, okay?
