I just got an update on my status and the things i have to prepare for with regard to my application to a school in Brunei. Apparently my papers have to go through several agencies for approval and it might take 2 to 3 months for everything to get settled. By October though, I should have my contract and work visa already. However, because the school has exceeded the maximum number of Filipinos they could hire directly, I am now to go through an agency of their choice.

Everything still seems alright except for the fact that I needed to go through an employment agency. That’s gonna cost me some additional dough, which at the moment we’re running quite low on. But I don’t mind. I can’t afford to mind. With everything we’ve given up to get to this point, we have no other option but to go forward. Never mind the wrinkles, the sleepless nights, and everything else.

The wrinkle creams and the sleep can wait. The future of my family goes first.
