What’s it like working in Bahrain? What’s it like packing and unpacking, uprooting and putting down roots again on such short notice?

I want to work abroad too but I’m feeling quite daunted by the prospect of being alone in a strange country.

Medyo pareho tayo. I wasn’t really planning to leave the country. My friends and I were trying to start an NGO in 2001 and I really enjoyed the work we were doing. Then opportunity knocked in 2002. I had to take it. Ater six years, I’m starting to look for opportunities so I can come back home, for good.

[…] I was working in Makati as an Exec. Sec to the GM then. We recruit staff through an agency. They happened to be the recruiting agent of an employer in Bahrain. Once in a while, my boss sends me to their office in Mabini to collect CVs.

She even added “actually you can fax it later”. I did. Secretly. I already had my passport ready at that time. But I never planned of working abroad. I just went with the flow when my barkada applied for their passports. I didn’t want my boss to know and find out about my application abroad. So I gave my Olongapo home number instead.
