I quit my job this past February, the official quit month was March due to accumulated vacation days. I am not quite sure what the logical reasons were that I quit but I know I felt that I wasn't progressing and going to work had become a waste of time. Yes, so I basically got up and left (with a two week notice of course) but I never thought that I was the kind that has the courage to pick up my things and leave without regrets... Now that I look back, it just wasn't meant to be.
The day after my official end day, my new employer called to interview me. Stars must have aligned themselves... I interviewed in the Philippines, accepted the job offer, and asked for three months off before starting. So here I am, in the Philippines!
The preliminary meeting with my boss was great, I get an office, an assistant, and a lot more money than my old job, and I get to live in Asia.... I am not encouraging anyone to quit their jobs but sometimes you have to fight for what you want in life to get it. Right, Danielle?
Leaving the work that I have committed myself to for 9 years wasn't easy and packing up my belongings and saying goodbye to my friends and family in the States was even harder. When I landed Manila, I asked myself, "what are you doing here?" But I know things will work out for the best and I am looking forward to share my Manila experience with all of you!
Bye for now and hello from Manila!
