When I was in college, I was sooo eager to graduate, work, and get the experience I need to be able to go places... There was one country that I have always 'planned' to stay and live. Why did I choose that country? I would say one of my biggest influence were my cousins who are already there. Whenever they would come back here in Manila they would always ask me why I haven't applied yet.. I have heard so many great things about it from them. Aside from that, some of my aunts lived & worked there when I was young, and I guess their stories and how they hoped to go back there inspired me a lot. My dad have always wished to go there.. why? he just wants to go fishing. :-) hehe

Every year after I graduated, I would visit the site and check on the requirements. I would get copies of the forms and details on what I need, but later on seem to forget about it and put it aside. There had been several things I needed to do before I could really pursue my dream -- get enough work experience (done), have our house renovated (done) and save up for my plan (almost done). Hmmmm.... ;-)

I am getting excited with all the planning. I really hope that all my planning turns to reality. My mom and dad are already excited and hopes things do push through. We have already talked about it, and they are fine with the idea of me leaving them behind for some time. Jp and I have also talked about it and he is also excited for me. He is about to graduate again (1st from BS Math CS and now Nursing) and I don't think it will be hard for him to follow me wherever I go. :) Time to start planning, packing and head down under.
