The long wait for revival of my blog is finally at hand! Despite this blog being against work - it is unfortunate that despite my disgust of the working world, I was consumed by it thereby taking up all my time and updates.
But the time to rejoice is at hand - for I have news that is worthy of this website!
I QUIT!
DONE!
That's right folks I have resigned from my job here in the Philippines. I am no longer bound to 12 hour work days 5 days a week, talking to clients as if I were a slave. It's over. And I am so happy. This decision was not an abrupt one - it was long planned before I submitted my resignation letter. This had allowed me to save money solely for the purpose of "survival" for a few months.
What have I been doing for the past month or so? Absolutely NOTHING - and it feels great to do and say. I do think that after slaving in hell's pits for the past 3 years has earned me the right to not feel guilty of doing nothing.
I have been spending my time playing video games, watching TV and Movies, "internetting" (not a word - but it basically sums up what I do on the internet), sleeping (ALOT), and eating. I have been catching up on a lot of TV shows that have passed me by such as "The Big Bang Theory", "Modern Family", "Star Trek - TNG" (OK this past me by almost 20 years ago now - but fuck it - I love this show). When I am not watching, I am playing games, when I am not playing games I am probably sleeping - and the cycle repeats. It feels good to at least do this for a little while before making my final decision.
What is that decision you may ask? Well it is probably the biggest decision that I need to make for this year. Do I go back to Canada or stay here?
This question has been haunting me for the past while as I am very unsure of what to do. I miss my friends and colleagues in Canada and really want to see them. I need to get a lot of documentation redone to fix expired Driver's Licences, Bank Accounts, Credit Cards, etc. I need to start earning dollars again to save up. And most importantly I need to start getting my wife's paperwork in order to try to make her a citizen to live with me.
On the other hand - I AM SO COMFORTABLE where I am now I don't want to leave. This country has a certain relaxation that even if I AM working - makes it bearable at the end of the day. I feel I can do whatever I like over here and not to mention VERY cheaply. To go out with friends and have an "Inuman" session (drinking fest for my Canadian friends) costs me at most 40 bucks and we are passed out for the night. Everything that I like to do comes very cheap and I will definitely miss that.
On top of those reasons - the biggest fear about going back to Canada I have is getting a job. I don't know if I will be able to get back on my feet in a timely manner and do what I have experience in. This concerns me the most as to help bring my wife over I will need a job to "prove" to the Government that I can support and sponsor her.
So that is what has been going on in my head for the past few months and I am still trying to make a decision.
This is the first of many posts that will come in the near future since as I said - I am not doing anything and have lots of time to write. I will be uploading a lot of pics and vids in the days to come with some commentary.

Dude it's about damn time, I was running out of things to read on the Internetz lol!!
Just remember whatever decision you make we, as your friends will stick by you. It would be great to get you back here, and I doubt that you'd have any trouble finding a job over here with all your experience, but if you end up staying it's understandable.
And that's my 2 cents lol
