Beautiful and Sublime Sunday - Farewell Party With Friends

One of my #ofw friends is spending his vacation to our country and specifically in our hometown. I was the one helping her to find an employer here in Saudi Arabia 8 years ago. Time flies so fast and every two years, after finished serving her contract, she spent vacation to see her family.

She is now a single mother with two children studying in high school. The time she came here, she had her common-law husband but separated because of so many issues between them. This is the saddest part of #ofw, we try to work for greener pasture for the family but most of us experienced separation from both husband or wife. Getting work abroad became the prone of betrayal that causes separation. Well, there are good relationships that survived and still the love are sparking and the long distance relationships are so strong. Her husband had another girls and my friend had already found new love too but she priorities her job abroad for the seek of her two children under her mother custody and out of the father's place. She is now in her flight going to Jeddah, to Dubai and transit flight to Cebu.

So we had our party, a thanksgiving for her success serving her two years and renewal of contract for another two years. Her boss is the only eldest brother of my lady boss.

We had no better pictorial, because me and her sister came to late. Upon our arrival, we pray and eat.

Our friend Rona sang a song for Merilyn that made us emotional but fall of laughter.

This girl wearing a yellow pant is the sister of her ex-partner. She helped this girl to have job here in the nephew of our boss.

We were happy and enjoyed the party and would be the advance Christmas party. I thank the Lord God for giving us chance to have time for this occasion and to our employers who understand the new rules of the #ofw. The employers now are educated about the contract or what stated in the contract to let us have day off. We don't like going out for day off but getting together sometimes is already enough for us to be happy. Before when I was new, I was not going out with friends until they came, the new Filipino workers of the family of my boss. Most of the housemaid before was Indonesians but now the President of Indonesia is no longer sending worker here.

That's all for today and more next time.

HIVE ON

It must be very tough to be away from family but I have my deepest respect for all mothers/women who traveled far away to seek greener pastures for the sake of their loved ones. I'm glad that your bosses allowed all of you to have a day off every week to rest and spend time with friends.

Without me as senior will not allow them. I worked for 2 decades and they trusted me along with the newbies.
