Reality Check

     When you came back from Manila, you were riding the high.  I mean, how great was it, it was so good you had no time to blog and only had time to live it up.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.  In fact, I applaud you for being able to find something so rare.  I understand that it's not an easy decision to pack of and leave, bc when you went orignally, it was only a vacation with the thoughts of returning after Convergy's used you as a whore.  But in reality, you found something special there.  Not many people can say that.  You have little keeping you here.  I mean, You have family and some friends.  But, distance is superficial considering how easy it is to converse and chat with others on the information super highway.  I ultimately want you to be happy.  I honestly believe that you are in a rut being in Appleton with little changes.  Frankly, that bored the shit out of me.  I loved living with you, but that was about it.  Nothing really changed there.  And that's also an issue that I am trying to conquer.  I don't like a lot of change, but doing the same shit over and over gets lame.  Camp was my special gem.  I mean, I don't need to go into details how great it is.  I just compare Manila to camp and I think, You have to go for it buddy.  You'll have your opportunities to talk with family and friends via facebook, email, and skype.  Truthfully, of those people, who do you really want to see on a day to day basis.  Probably not many.  So, truly, should it be really that difficult to leave. 
     The counter argument would be a few things.  If you were to move to Manila, would to fantasy eventually become only a reality.  Also, would you be moving into the same position you are currently at when you head over to Manila, or would there be a chance at a promotion or worse/demotion.  If things truly go sour, would you be able to just up and leave?  Or would you have to commit to a long term deal if you go over there.  For example, a 2-5 year contract.  If you end up getting paid less then what you currently are, (I understand things are cheaper there), but would you be able to come back to the states if things were to get bad.  Aka, would you beg your parents for a plane ticket back?  Also, it's a third world country, how slow are there internet speeds?  Could you live with dial up?  Come on, Really?
     The last thing, since this is weighing on your mind?  What's holding you back?  Why not take the plunge?  Let's discuss this.
