I’m back after two months hiatus and surprised to see that my pageview stats growing rapidly the past few months. And yes — another year has passed for my blog. My blog is now 2 years old. I can’t believe I stayed this long! I feel so loyal.. But to be honest, I am trying to re-assess this blog’s goals and what I want to focus on this year.
Basically, the past 2 years I have been talking mostly about the process we went through regarding our move here from idea, to research, to decision, to making the first step to actually living here. Right now, I can honestly say we are a bit more settled here and love our new place and of course we’re so blessed to see MrC’s IT outsourcing venture becoming very stable and slowly growing (11 people now and interviewing for 2 positions).
I also see this blog evolving from a journal or personal blog to some sort of magazine or information source for people thinking of coming back to the Philippines or even a networking site or support group for those that are already here and needing help/direction in resettling or in the case of first timers settling anew. My target reader would be an expat or an OFW or balikbayan. Those who have been accustomed to living elsewhere and trying to get to know the ins and outs of this country.
If you’re reading this and have suggestions do email me or post comments here. Thanks! – mixxy

Hi Mixxy! I was searching along websites about expats and found your wonderful story. We are currently living in Ca usa and really contemplating on moving back to RP. I found your story very interesting and encouraging, I actually read them all! So keep posting, there was so much information you have shared which is really helpful.

Hi Winchester, Sorry for my late reply glad to see you here. Moving back is a nice idea.. and being able to bring your work with you is even better! What I would like to suggest, if you don’t mind is explore the possibility of working remotely for your current employer if it is feasible. I am also trying to that now.. In that way, you get the best of both worlds. Otherwise, please try to consider first what kind of source of income you’d pursue if you move here. If you used to live here I guess you have an idea of the kind of salary one gets here .. you have to take that into consideration too. But i know money isn’t everything but still at the end of they day you want to make sure you and your family has a better life here.
