Making memories w/ my world 💕🌊

04/09/2022

Kabisado na kita— kapag hindi ka nagsasalita, kapag nagsasalita ka; kapag tulala ka, kapag wala kang pakialam sa paligid mo; kapag malungkot ka, kapag masaya ka.

Kabisado ko ang iyong umaga, magmula sa pag-iinat mo at paghalik sa aking noo; ang timpla ng iyong kape na mas marami ang asukal; ang oras ng pagligo mo at pag-alis sabay yakap ng mahigpit.

Kabisado ko rin ang iyong maghapon, mula sa paborito mong ulam sa tanghali; ang amoy ng iyong pabango sa tuwing nagmamadali ka; ang porma ng iyong buhok; ang pinipili mong sapatos na susuutin.

Kabisado ko na rin ang iyong gabi, mula sa oras ng pagsakay mo sa dyip; sa iyong pagmensahe na malapit ka ng umuwi; sa pagyakap sa aking mga bisig; sa pagngiti na animo’y hindi pagod. Kabisado ko na halos lahat ng tungkol sa iyo.

Kaya kung tatanungin mo ako kung may hindi pa ba ako alam tungkol sa iyo, hindi na lang ako sasagot— kukuha na lamang ako ng tubig, tatabihan kita, sasandal sa iyong balikat at makukuntento sa ganoong paraan. Minsan lang akong maging sigurado at natutuwa akong sabihin na siguradong-sigurado ako na kabisado kita. At sa kung paanong nagtagpo ang ulan at hangin sa iisang lugar ay tila ganoon tayong dalawa— payapa dahil alam nating nariyan ang isa’t isa. Kung tutuusin, hindi ko naman kailangang malaman ang lahat tungkol sa iyo at ganoon ka rin, pero walang araw na hindi ka naging tapat— ikaw ang naging lahat.

Kabisado na kita kung kaya’t sigurado akong hindi lang ako basta masaya— mahal na kita.

⛔DO NOT GO ABROAD⛔

1️⃣. Don't go abroad if you are not confident.
2️⃣. Don't go abroad if you can't endure and sacrifice.
3️⃣. Don't go abroad if you can't persevere.
4️⃣. Don't go abroad if you are not strong.
5️⃣. Don't go abroad if you are just complaining.
6️⃣. Don't go abroad if you can't eat your pride.
7️⃣. Don't go abroad if you can't bear the sadness.
8️⃣. Do not go abroad if you are weak.
9️⃣. Don't go abroad if you don't know how to approach.
🔟. Don't go abroad if you are not sure why you are going abroad.

🎯Life abroad is never for the faint heart. You’ll be out of your comfort zone - out of the familiar, safe place you’re used to.

💣Here, the life of your sorrow will eat you up; you will cry suddenly for no apparent reason.
You’ll get frustrated a lot of times.

🧭You can't help but compare your life then in the Philippines with your life now here abroad. You’ll even start giving up on yourself. And you’ll start questioning if you’ve really made the right decision.

🎭You will adjust-to a new life, a new environment, a new person, and a new job.

⚖️If you were in the Philippines, you were the boss and you were already at the top, here you will start again at the bottom.

💵If you apply pride, nothing will happen in your life. Not everyone is lucky enough to find a good job with a big salary.

🎓The others, have graduated and been able to work in a good company in the Philippines but when they come here they will be able to enter any job - waiter, driver, receptionist, kitchen assistant, saleslady and others.

🪖Here, it doesn’t matter what your job is; the important thing is that you support your family with every shipment you make. ♥ ️

′′NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, SEE YOU AT HOME.′′
A lot of people think that living as a couple is always peachy, but this is the real reality.
Living with the person you love is not what everyone thinks it is. You don’t wake up early in the morning for breakfast together in bed every morning. It's not snuggling in bed together until you sleep peacefully every night. It's not always having the house clean and food freshly made every day.
Living with the person you love is arguing for simple things, like who forgot to take out the trash, it's sleeping because the day has been hard and you're exhausted, it's arguing over financial issues, it's someone who takes your bedsheets away when you sleep and you wake up in the cold.
But despite everything, every day you expect to see that person eagerly or go home everyday to meet that same person you know loves you and cares about you. You laugh together the moment you do something funny, it's intimacy with each other, it's cooking dinner together as you talk and making it easier because you both had a complicated day.
It's living an emotional crisis and having someone who sits next to you, hugs you and tells you that everything will be fine and you believe it.
It's loving that same person even when it drives you freaking crazy and pulls you out of your box.
Living with the person you love is arguing for silly things constantly, but it's also having a love that many people spend their lives looking for. It’s the times that people try to break you up, but the love was stronger. It's not perfect and it's very difficult to keep it balanced every day, but it's wonderful and the best you can experience, because if it were easy it wouldn't be worth it.
That's why every day you think...”NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS SEE YOU AT HOME.” ❤️
