When I was in Kenya I thought that Philippines is a very cool place to stay, what I mean is the temperature.. Unexpectedly when the plane was slowly landing in the airport of Cebu, I already felt the hotness of this place. I was so ignorant and I don't really know much about this country. I ride in a taxi and I have troubles communicating with him because he don't know how to speak English. He took advantage of my ignorance and he were on the city going round and round and at the end I paid a very high bill for riding his taxi. Finally I found a security guard and I ask how to be in Dumaguete where I am suppose to study.
For the first time I was in a boat and I felt scary maybe because I'm not familiar or I never ride a boat before because our place and lands. So I can't sleep at night because I was securing for my life though I don't know how to. It was a very big relief for me when I arrived in Dumaguete City safe and sound. So when we arrived still being unlucky I was already late for enrollment and so I have to go back to Cebu to see which school I can go to again. A friend of mine told me about this place and MSU-IIT and so we ride in a boat again! We really don't know this place so when the boat stopped me and my comp[anion thought that it was already Iligan City but when we ask a jeepney driver we were still in Ozamis City and so we really have to hurry as soon as we can before the boat goes to the real place we suppose to go.
So finally we came here and I was enrolled in MSU-IIT. Our struggles did not stop there because we need to validate our visa so that we will be legal here in this country. I really spent a lot going to Cagayan and processing things and finally those things were over now.
My struggles don't stop there I still need to struggle for the next 3 years being around in this place. Being in a foreign land is not easy sometimes you are a subject to be taken advantage thinking that foreigners have a lot of money and just here to enjoy and spend worthless time. I'm lucky now that I have good friends who can direct me what is good and right without being used for personal purposes.
What an extraordinary experience!
