i miss Philippines

where are you then? why dont you go back to phil? Its not good to be away if you dont want to, not even for money. please careful there dear, you are very young.

hey migen, you are still lucky to be living in an english-speaking country.. what if you are in a spanish-speaking country where english is not widely-used and only 2 filipinos so far i've met in my 3 month-stay here.. no embassy, the consulate is not responding to my queries about filipino community here... life is difficult, you would imagine.. but i am living it.. it is my reality here.. it's good that i am doing worthwile here.. like you, im studying and burying myself in books and internet..

hi migenKC! that's really courageous of you to go to a foreign land by yourself at your age! that's good you're studying while working, try to finish your studies and always aim for higher education. christmas is approaching, that time of the year again when we long so much for home, sigh. my son is your age, still in Pinas, and he'd be joining us here once he finished his associate degree in 2009. we all can't wait! :) hang in there girl, go have your dreams come true!

hi migenkc^_^ im a filipina too.. when i started to live singapore as i worked with designers.. there were times where i just stare blank and nothing in my eyes... yes, i was so touched when you said that there is something in our country that is not found anywhere else in the world.. but we have to live with this reality... if we stay in on place.. how can we grow? if we are not ready for a change, how can we learn?... we have to face the rigors of travel, the wonders of life.. The world is huge, and every place offers a good opportunity.. But we can never deny, the life we live once in philippines.. theres no place like home.. when im lonely.. i just look at the bright side, i go around where i see my fellow kababayans... or go to malls to forget the lonesome.. when im alone in my room, i just look at my sisters pictures, and smile, because of the sacrifice i make, i can help them... i can make our dreams come true. dont worry, there is more to life. more to do... so little time.. but what is worth for s, will always be in place..^_^cheer up now... your such a pretty girl to feel the lonesome..^_^ at least im here to listen.. take care now, you can do it^_^

well i know how hard it is. theres no place like phils! i miss lechon cause im in a muslim country. and when youre away youll appreciate the things that you most taken for granted when you were home. Good thing is im with my cousin here and we see each other once a week. There are lots of filipinos here but ill tell you most of them are snob. especially the ones with high paying job.

i'm a filipina too...like you, i am in australia...but i'm in queensland.. i do miss our country...i'm with my sister so somehow, my homesickness is not that worse...i do feel what you feel right now...i really, really miss my family back home...we miss our little sister too... i miss the filipino foods, and the people out there...i mean, philippines is totally different...we must admit that financially, philippines in not on the best status but when it comes the being "bibo", the pinoys are number 1... so, you're in TAFE?...we are in TAFE too..we enjoyed the multi-cultural sorrounding there..but still, we want to go home... when are you planning to go back home?

I know how you feel migen, being far away from home can be a nightmare, but and glad you have some nice Chinese friends-chinese are very good people, they are kind hearted, and am sure the friends you got will stand in for your parents for a while,but whatever you are doing, do remember to go back to the Philipines some day.

So how come that you are living there alone? are you working there? imagine you are still young and already in a strange country, me when i get out of the country i was 25 already.

I always think how brave young people are to leave their country, leave their families to go to another country, I really think it is brave, I know I couldn't have done it when i was young I was just too insecure, but if it is good for you , your future then maybe it will be worthwhile, I hope so and i hope one day you will know what a great thing you have done for yourself, good luck for the future my friend.

Its natural that you would miss the country that you use to live and the people you missed. You could always go back if you feel that your happiness is not to live on other countries.

Its a nice thing to hear from a fellow Filipino that still feels Filipino even they are now away from their country. I see many Filipinos who forget their citizenship and love for their country when they are given the opportunity to lived outside the country. But in your case you seek to be identified as Filipino and I am happy to see you like that and hopefully you stay like that. You are lucky indeed you are given the privilege to be there.

MigenKC, I never realized that you are outside of our country. How long will you be staying there? Always take care and never forget where you came from. Good luck to your studies!

Hi migenKC! I hope that you will soon have the opportunity to go visit your roots here in the Philippines. As they say, there's no place like home. But pinoys, wherever you put them in the world will survive and excel. So keep on surviving and excelling wherever you are, whatever you do. Mabuhay ka!

There's no place like home. I miss our country too.

There was something in the Philippines where you could have not found in another place whichever world,the explanation love to me why ?
