The Journey

My first month in KL just went by so fast as I have expected. Taking on a challenging recruiting assignment made it easier for me to take my mind off homesickness.

Due to the fact that we now have Skype, facetime, viber and other apps made me feel closer to home. I get to see and talk to my family everyday. We still get to chat about school, home work, my husband's work, and my baby's development. Although of course it is much better to feel their embrace and kisses, I get the second best thing.

Everyday I still wake up at 5AM to wake up my kiddo. I call him and we facetime every morning. In the afternoon, he texts me through viber to tell me he's home. When I reach the apartment, we face time while I have dinner to feel like they're with me.

Thank God for Hubby

Being Alone in KL made me realize a lot of things that I probably did not notice much when I was in Manila. As they say, it is easier to see things from afar.

Here I really appreciate my husband more. I appreciate it that he looks after me and thinks about what's best for me (and the kids of course). Before my scheduled move to KL, he was the one looked for stuff that I might need. In the first week that he's here, he observed the area where I stayed, looked for short cuts to the grocery stores and malls, and even found the best way to walk to the office.

He's always been the sensible one. When he left to go home to the Philippines, he was giving me advice on a lot of things he observed in KL. Looking back it was really funny that he was telling me those stuff while I was crying.

It's really just now that I get to appreciate that he's more of a practical person than romantic.

I feel good and blessed being married to my best friend.
