Beautiful And Sublime Sunday - 296 Years Foundation of Saudi Arabia

about 1 year ago (Edited)

We just celebrate the foundation of my work place and we had a party at home. Sisters of my lady boss came here and they took their Filipina helper with them. I was not aware of the celebration but they made me busy cooking our foods. I had no idea that it was a celebration. I was too sleepy because I woke up earlier that day. Now I remember it was last Thursday night.

I am a Filipina but I am living here for almost 26 years. I felt better staying here than living in my country without stable income. It saddened me because I am far away from home, my family. I need to be positive. I am grateful to those people around me, my employer's family who understand me every time I feel dowm. The way of life that I had been through had no changes, I am always tasted by time but they are here to understand me. Thank you, Saudi Arabia.

*My eyes speak how sleepy and the only thing that hold me to be awake was a cup of coffee that night. I felt shy sleeping when my friends arrived late. My African friend went to the house of the son of my boss to do cleaning.

It was a lucky day for my friends that I have squids whom they evermissed eating. I cooked rice and became happy and enjoyed our met up once again after the new years day party. I forced my eyes to open and took picture for that day. I was thinking that I have to make write up about the founding day of Saudi Arabia's celebration at home.

The children wore dresses from the old time model nd style. I didn't take any picture because it is forbidden and respect their culture and traditions. Even the foods they ate and I cooked was the old process and procedures of cooking.

After thw party, it waa already 1 am and I almost lost my strength. Thank's God that He gave me strength to carry on my dizziness. The time I wanted to sleep, I put my back on my bed to say goodbye everyone but I couldn't sleep anymore. Time passed by quickly and it was almost morning that I slept for only 2 hours. What I did was checking my blog and everything. I started my work so I finished it earlier and slept.

I forgot everything and only remember that Saudi is still a beautiful gift from God above. Despite the pain, the struggles, the sacrifices, not all the time that I failed. There are successful moment to be a part of my Saudi life history one day. Half of my life span since birth, I am here and I do not know when I will be home for better. Only God and time can tell me and I hope that the final day of my life would be a happy day. I want to end everything with happiness. I want to be home but this time, I need more time to stay here for greener pasture. Whatever God plans for me, I owe to Him that please give me a time to be happy before I go to my last goodbye.
