My very first adventure alone!

 

March 5, 2014 it was my first ever travel outside the country alone. Can’t explain my feelings, I am sad knowing that I have a family left behind. Even I knew I will only be away for three months, still couldn’t deny the sadness that I feel. Can’t even say goodbye to them formally because I know I’m going to cry.

On the other hand, there is an excitement in me. This has been my dream before, going to other country, riding the plane, and visiting my family abroad.

I’m very thankful that I didn’t feel any fear or nervous of traveling alone.

It was 10 in the morning when I left Bacolod and touchdown to Manila around 11 in the morning. It was also my very first time to be in Manila, what a shame!

It was 4 in the afternoon when I flew from Manila and arrived at Singapore around 9 in the evening.  Again, it was my very first time to be in Singapore. At least!

I stopped at Changi airport – Singapore for twelve hours and depart around 8 in the morning to my final destination – Perth City, Australia at exactly 1 in the afternoon.

I Can’t explain my feelings, I can’t believe I’m already setting my foot on Australia’s soil for the first time ever! I can’t explain the happiness that I felt. I can’t believe I can do it flawlessly without the feeling of nervousness or something.

And then I saw my two sisters at the waiting area waiting for me. Such a perfect moment, wish I could stop the clock and maintain the status quo. Best feeling ever!

This is my very first adventure alone! So amazing!

Finally, I'm going away for good! Thank God!

            Finally my question has been answered. I’m going to Australia next year to start my life. I’m going to take my course which is hospitality management in Australia on July 2016.

            All my life I’ve been waiting for this to happen. It takes a decade before I know I’m really going there. Lots of disappointment and frustrations, I’m on the edge of my patience and almost giving up, I can’t avoid it. But here I am, I think this is it! My life will change the moment I step up on the plane.

            It’s not going to be easy, leaving everyone that I love and living in the place which is totally strange for me. I have faith in God that’s the only thing I have, and either I like it or not I have to believe in myself. I have to live and face my life alone.

            I know God is there for me as I do this. Lord, please help me overcome all the challenges that come in my life. Help me succeed so I could help my sisters and parents.

            Lord, please help me survived mentally and whatever happen to me in Australia please give me strength not to give up.

            I hope the good Lord help me get through all these. Amen.
