Song: I Won't Let Go- Rascal Flatts
Finally
Adjusting during my first few months here in Bermuda is definitely not easy. I wasn't really used to with the beach life so trying to get used to seeing the beach the first moment I wake up is something that I still have to get accustomed with. Magkakaiba rin ang mga kultura namin at kakaunti lang ang mga Pinoy dito kaya medyo mahirap rin ang magadjust.
The first time that I got here, I was instantly amazed by how beautiful this island is.
During my first week, I spent all my days visiting some of their famous islands. Halos masunog na ang balat ko sa kakabilad sa araw. I've noticed that this is their usual hobby. Kung hindi nagtatrabaho, lagi naman nasa beach.
I laid down my beach mat on the sand. I applied my sunscreen while looking at the scenery in front of me. It's comforting that the only sound I hear is the sound of waves. No busy streets. No honking of cars. It's just peaceful.
Inalis ko ang tapis na suot at hinayaan na ang sarili na magbilad sa araw. I wore my sunglasses.
In this place, I started to forget about my past. I focused on the reason why I came here. I focused on myself. I focused on my healing.
Ganoon lang lagi kong nakakagawian nang magtagal ako ng isang buwan dito. I'm renting an apartment nearby. Maganda iyon at maayos naman. May kamahalan nga lang pero ganoon talaga. It's expensive to live here in Bermuda.
During my stay here, I met someone who instantly became my friend. She taught me all the things that I need to know about this beautiful island. Pinasyal niya ako sa iba't ibang tourist attractions dito.
Phoebe, my friend, lives next to me. We met at the superyacht that we were both working in. Nagkagulatan pa kami noong nalaman namin na magkapitbahay pala kami. Bago pa ako magpunta dito ay humanap na ako ng trabaho para naman may pagkabalahan ako at mas magtagal din ang pananatili ko rito.
I'm really glad that I was granted to work here even for just a year. I'm hoping that my employer would like to extend my work visa since I will only decide to go home once I see Gio here.
I know him. He's going to come after me after a while. Hindi siya si Gio kung hindi niya man lang naisipan na bisitahin ako dito.
I realized how expensive it is to live in Bermuda when I reached my second month here. Mahal kasi ang upa, pagkain, at mga kagamitan. In short, mahal talaga lahat! Sapat naman kahit papano ang sweldo ko. Ngunit dahil nga mahal ang lahat ng bilihin dito, feeling ko hindi parin kakasya iyon.
Imagine buying a dozen of eggs will already cost you nine Bermudan dollars! That's equivalent to four hundred pesos! Kapag naman kumain sa labas, mas mapapamahal ka. That's why I have no choice but to save up money especially that I didn't even bother to take Gio's money with me. Sapat na iyong binigay ni Mommy sa akin kaya hindi na ako nanghingi pa.
