The Journey Before the Agency

There is a moment where you want to escape life and look for a place to be alone, a place no one will judge you, a place where you are at peace. However, does this place do really exist?

Just a long time ago, I was in a place where everyone dreams on. It was on top of the mountain and in the middle of the beautiful forest of Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, Philippines. I have a family with four kids and a stable job as a City Legal Liaison at Valencia City, Bukidnon, Philippines. Still, life seems unfair to me. Life seems incomplete and uncomfortable. That is, I got separated and got a broken family.

Being separated is not a good image for a woman before. A lot of eyes surrounds you looking down on you. It was not easy being a single mother of four kids. I can’t bare looking at myself being on a broken family and being judged.

That time, I was desperate. I want to escape that life and prove to those around looking down on me that I can stand and succeed even in my situation. I want to escape those eyes.

One day, an unexpected happened. I am running an internet cafe before. A customer came and ask for my assistance to sign up on a dating site. I was curious and felt interested. And so, I signed up and boom! Bingo! I found him!

Without any hesitation when we started our conversation, I immediately told him. “ I am a mother of four kids. Take me and my kids or leave.”  Unexpectedly, he was serious! He was sincere in our conversations even on my brutal honesty. 

Few months later he visited me in the Philippines and even staying at home, not in a hotel. And so for a few more months, unexpectedly, I followed him in Europe. That is where my journey begins, unexpectedly founding my love, and we got married. I found my place and I am now proving to them that I succeed and a place where I want to be, do really exist!
