Amy’s Journal

Get to talk to my parents about my passion. i was glad tat i manage to let it out and express it out especially to my mom. I got her permission to go on DOULOS for three months, at least. Wanted to go for one full year, but she said no…:(.. but im thankful. one step at a time…:)…

well, i actually got it cuz i trade it with my graduation present. my parents actually offering me a trip to England to visit my aunt for a month. been wanting to go there as well. it has been a hard decision for me though. but i’ve made up my mind, and i choose to go for the three months mission exposure after i finish my studies end of next year. but it’s still early to say… haven’t really apply for that yet. but im praying and looking forward for that.

at least i got my parents blessing and they’re gonna sponsor me… :)… yay…gearing up for that and i have another year to go.

Quite hesitated to make decisions at first. here are some of the reasons
England’s Pros:
1. get to spend time with family
2. being with someone’s familiar
3. been wanted to go there
4. at least i can tell someone i’ve been there n visit the places there
5. my aunt would most likely took care of everything, food, lodging……
6. been wanting to go there ever since

England’s Cons:
-none-

DOULOS Pros:
1. whole new experience living in the ship for three months
2. get to travel around
3. have been wanting to this since i was 9
4. as an exposure to myself on what mission is about
5. part of my life’s goal.. hehe

DOULOS Cons:
1. out of my comfort zone
2. need to work and pay to work but not getting paid(as in you need to work in the ship)
3. not sure whether i’ll get sea sick
4. places i’ll be travelling may not be as "wow" as England

well, it took me guts to tell my mom about the decision i;ve made. i was making a trade of a lifetime. n im settled with it. though as u see, there are so many cons for goin on that mission and i cant find any if i were to go for the holiday trip. logicaaly speaking, i shud be choosing to go to England instead.

hope that i’ll keep this strong though. still struggling cuz decision can be changed and randomize due to many aspects. im praying and will be praying hard. any of u interested to come with me? Celine? wanna come? i know u’ll be reading……hehe..if i could get a company, it’ll be most likely i wont change my mind. hehehe…but let’s not make this the reason im goin as well.. hehehe….

Prepare me Lord,
Amy
