Life Experience That Helped Me || Daily Prompt #5

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

Working in abroad gave me good smack on the head. Seriously!

Because I was out of my comfort zone. I cried buckets numerous times. Culture shock and home sickness are real. It took me a year to really adjust. I know I could’ve just gone back home and forget about everything but I can’t. I don’t want to be a disappointment especially when my dad shelled out a lot of money to support me. I tried a lot of diversion tactics to keep myself busy (aside from work).

I learned a lot from this stint of my life. It opened my mind and heart. I learned to be more open-minded, be a bolder decision-maker and dreamer. This nursing career brought me to places I have never imagined to visit.

It was truly a great experience while it lasted. Thus the need to move again.

It was a good one Singapore.

Mid-Week Round Up || November 7, 2018

I had a blast (as usual) on Halloween. By 7pm, I finished all my candies! Yey! I felt bad at some point because of my early cut-off. Next year, what I have in mind is to pack sets of candy in small bags and just hand it over to them. I gave the kids the liberty to choose.

As the park’s namesake, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo led the first European expedition to explore what is now the west coast of the United States. Cabrillo departed from the port of Navidad, Mexico, on June 27, 1542. Three months later he arrived at “a very good enclosed port,” which is known today as San Diego Bay. —-SOURCE
