"Whether you're away , I'm with you anyway"

"Whether you're away , I'm with you anyway, in Tagalog "Malayo ka man, kapiling ka pa rin." How many times did you hear this phrase? I hope not many times. Honestly, hearing this word makes me cry and a little bit emotional. Yet, looking at the other side of the coin, it gives hope and assurance. In other words, your love one is still there beside you in spite of the distance. Better cheer up my friend and hush your fears and the negative feelings you had. I know they have the reasons why they need to leave.

It could be like what Diane Lane said. I quote, "For me, going away to work is the hardest part of my life and career". Why could she able to say that? Maybe, because she has to leave her family to work. She had to give up the happiness of being with the companions of her life. Truthfully, I prefer to be with my family and friends and bond forever. But the reality is, it could not be because you have some obligation to fulfill especially if you are already a mom or a dad.

Thankfully, we have some social media sites. These can really fill the gap of loneliness and homesickness. Because of this, communication is still possible. Make use your Facebook, Skype, and whatever you prefer of social networking sites. Luckily, we have also a company who promotes this phrase. I'm talking about the BayanMall Corporation.

The Bayan Mall Corporation is a web shopping center, which fundamentally helps the Filipinos, particularly the OFW's who live and work abroad. The company is trying to reach out their left-out loved ones to feel the same solace and security they have. This is the first and final organization that gives shopping venue a place where you can purchase basic supplies or different necessities and needs of your families. I know working abroad is hard. For you to feel comforted, watch the video I provide below. Your going to love the song.

For you to have more courage, remember the words Robyn Davidson. He said, "If you think of all the enduring stories in the world, they're of journeys. Whether it's 'Don Quixote' or 'Ulysses,' there's always this sense of a quest - of a person going away to be tested, and coming back". I repeat, they will come back or you will come back. In the mean time, endure and survive. Your sacrifice is worth it.
