Once in my life I was indescribably sad. My girlfriend broke our relationship up, and I didn't know why. I was completely devastated. I felt like my life had come to an end. I don't know how I managed to keep doing my everyday duties though I made it despite my deep sorrow and anger.

I spent hours looking at internet for places related to loneliness, rejection, broken hearts, etc. There are a lot of places, songs and pictures about rejection and loneliness. There are forums for people to talk about their feelings of loneliness and low esteem. I have to confess that I was a regular visitor of some of these places.

In this cut throat competition children get pressurize with their activities to the extent that they don't get spare time for their own entertainment.

I left my beloved country with love inside my heart. I have to continue dreaming even dreams were not for me. I have to go on living for my family. I have to take actions for whatever way life meant to be. I have to work as an OFW because this is my life.

We ran outside the hotel's room, up to the exit door, and find our way through the vacant lot. We hid for a moment at the back of the mango tree and climbed onto the concrete fence. The bullets still following us which I couldn't decipher where it came from and who's firing at us. But I knew that this was still part of the game. At the other end, I saw the narrow way and hastily pushed Aira inside while I came after her. The smell of the place cannot stop us from escaping the route. We finally got the chance to run freely into an open road, grabbed a taxi cab heading to the southern part of Negros Occidental. - See more at: http://ofw-the-game-of-life.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-turn-tail-with-my-daughter-ofw64.html#.VKzTBPmUepc

We panicked by the news of chemical attacks that all of us feared for our lives. Gas masks and masking tapes were selling like hotcakes in the market. Panic buying was showing in some other areas; Deirah Side Souq, Supermarkets, Al Fahidi Street and even some Malls, but we were still opening our stores around Dubai.
