I have booked my trip from April 1-30, 2012 via Asiana Airlines with stop-over in Seoul, Korea. My co-workers at Pegasus Home Health Care share my excitement of going back home in the Philippines for the first time after 12-years of blood, sweat and tears being away from my children for so long.
Some say it's early too early for my countdown; and as the days go by since I have booked my trip in early January, that excitement is slowly turning into anxiety and fear... on a shoe-string budget, the BIG question is: Will I Survive 30-Days in the Philippines with US$1,000.00 only budget?
Ryan said he came home to Manila and Aklan with $3,500.00 cash;
Rhea said I should bring at least $2,500 cash and a good credit card;
Eileen said she survived with at least PhP100,000.00 and enjoyed local [financial] support from her from brother in Manila;
Pilar said, every move in the Philippines is money; you pee, you pay! AND everyone expects you to pay the bills ALL the time!
Honestly, I am already scared to go home right now... but I have to! I need to see my children. I waited for this very day that I finally am able to hug my sons Anto and Pax, and my daughter Pol again after 12 years!
