Naranasan ko yan for 2yrs. Dito sa US pero na realized ko dahil ang ate ko nagkasakit siya MAs mahal dito surgery kahit may insurance. Kaya now isa nlng work ko at gumawa ako ng crafting sa bahay as a hobby. Because true talaga health is wealth. At super pagod talaga ako noon at nag umpisa na akong madepress, dami dito nag sisi sila sa health Nila dahil work work tapos di rin na enjoy Ang life dahil nagkasakit.

I’m a healthcare worker, I just quit my hospital job here in the U.S., pay is good but kayod-kalabaw until nag start na akong ma depress, I wasn’t happy at work. I owe a lot to my family for supporting me nalang na tapuson ang pag-aaral. Mental health is important.

Ginawa ko din ito 3 jobs pag dating namin nang asawa ko pag dating namin dito sa Canada 2 weeks lang kami nag pahinga from travel kami pa nang asawa ko kasi meron kami plan na magkaroon nang anak. Maaga pa lang work na mag nap lang nang 1hr tapos second job na then wala na nap diritso na sa 3rd job. Ganyan ang buhay namin dati 2009-2012 after 3 years nag 1st ivf kami dahil yun yung plano namin. 2013 2 jobs ako c misis wala work bantay bata muna.

40 yrs ago here in US I used to work 24/7 less sleep after years and years doing it, na realized ko, slave na ako ng money kaya unti unti ako nagbabawas ng work, mamamatay akong maaga tapos sa Pinas mga kaanak mo tinutulungan mo pero akala nila napupulot lang pera dito. Isa lang work ko dito at salamat sa Dios mag 21 yrs na ako sa Kaiser at magreretire ako na ok lang income ko. Ang dami namamatay na Pinoy ng maaga dahil they work 24/7 and die young. Very sad.. and I am very happy with decision. Thank you God..

“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience”. (Hebrews 4:9-11) Mahalaga ang rest, kabayan. Kailangan ng katawan natin ng lakas at para maka-focus. Yung pag “hustle” shows lack of trust in Almighty. Makinig ka din sa katawan mo. We have been created for purpose. Hindi na yan “wise” kundi “foolishness”, inaabuso mo na ang katawan mo. 😢

[@chickcreations]

Mga bagong dating sa Canada normal ang 3 jobs para maka ipon for rent and other bills kasi minimum wage ka palang kaya need talaga madaming trabaho, kapag tumagal tagal na with years of experience tumaas na rin ang hourly rate nila, kaya na 1 job nalang. This is a norm na po. Lahat dumaan sa ganito (2-3 jobs) ❤

[@senbm4095]

No place like home,karamihan kasi sa mga Pinoy ay basta masabi lang na nasa Canada or abroad, nasa isip nila ay nasa paradise sila pag nasa Canada, ipinagmamalaki pa ng familiy nila na nasa Canada kapamilya nila,di nila alam na kulang sa tulog para may maipadala lang sa Pinas

[@Xman-hg1vj]

Sa mga ibang mga tao kasi, they get addicted to money like getting addicted to some drugs. Kahit sapat na ang salary nila, they want more. I've known some Filipino nurses here in US who work sometimes for 2 hospitals. They live in big and nice houses and drive expensive cars but don't have anymore time for their families.

[@flpcrmn8293]

I can personally relate to the story. However, one must be reminded that “Rome was not built in one day” it takes time, patience and perseverance to get there. Coming from the Philippines where opportunities are scarce. Now migrating to Canada where opportunities seem to be never ending. One cannot let these opportunities go by. It’s an “all you can eat” of jobs. So what do we do when have an insatiable appetite to work as many jobs humanly possible without thinking of consequences that might occur. Rather than working and making the minimum wage, doing it 3 times over each day. If one gets educated in an industry where there’s job security, then the salary threshold is no longer a hindrance to a person’s development. Bottom line, get educated, go to school, get that stupid piece of paper saying that you have finished a course, degree or specialized courses. Then one can move to a better income bracket than making minimum wage and working 3 jobs. This is by course of action.

I cannot help but wonder, ano ba ang lifestyle ng mga family nila sa Pilipinas? Sa tagal na nila sa Canada, hindi pa rin ba naging self-reliant ang mga families nila back home or naging parasite na yung mga families nila kasi may inaasahang remittance from abroad?
