Today, 6th of October 2014, its exactly One year and 1 month since I quit my job. To all of you that don’t know me, I am Efren Nolasco a former OFW and the owner of this website. You can read more about me on the about page.
Last year when I took one of a tough decision in my life when I decided to quit my job, even my employer offered an increase to my current salary I didn’t take their offer.
I want to work near my family. Working everyday far from your love ones is one of the most difficult sacrifice of a worker abroad. Seeing your family once a year or two years is not enough to fulfill all the days that you’re not with them. You missed a lot of bonding and quality time with them, worst if you have a child when you left, when you came back he/she don’t know you. I don’t want this to happen to me, that’s why I quit my job.
I learn how to blog. I started blogging on December 2012 by the encouragement of my colleague, this also the time when I registered this domain, during that time I don’t know what topic or niche should I focus and write, so I decided to register my name as my domain so that I can post everything I want.
But, some of my colleagues in the dormitory where I reside are always asking to fix some basic internet and computer problems, I decided to write how-to guides article and refer to them when they’re asking for help. Also, I am an IT graduate and I have also interest on the latest Tech on the market, that’s why you will notice that the majority of the post are focused on the latest tech and how-to guides for beginner.
I know that there are huge potential of blogging, that someday I will earn enough to quit my job and be my own boss. September 2013 when I have fully decided to quit my job and focus on blogging.
