It's been  long time since I made an update here, I almost left my blog hanging and I'm now here writing this and I'm now I officially call my self a bum. Yes I quit my Job, my 2nd job to be exact. I was working good on my first company but I got bored an an offer has arrived, I resigned from my position as a Sales Engineer and started to the new company as a Business Development Manager.

I was so happy by the time I got promoted, to the point that I was still new to the company. I can now feel the pressure is on me. I don't know, I just felt like this is not good for me. I was always thinking how will I be effective in my new job. Wondering what plans should I do. I don't have a PROPER TRAINING in my new job. I was so skeptical to realize that this company is not helping me to grow, instead it makes me realize that I'm not good for this position. I worked there for almost a month, when I was on my 4th week, I got sick. I was diagnosed with Amebiasis I got hospitalized and got very sick to the point that I cannot work.

That's the time when I realized that I;m not happy on what I'm doing. I always kept saying on my mind that I don't wanna go to the office. I'm to lazy to work! there's something that I need to do not this kind of job. I felt sad! Maybe that's the point why I resigned. My boyfriend went to the USA and we had this Long Distance Relationship agreement.

I don't want those kind of stuff. I want to have more time with him. It added to my confusion to resign or not. I'm juts not so happy at my work environment. I can the Pressure and the sadness because i'm missing my boyfriend.

So there comes this week that I didn't went to the office for few days. I decided to make a resignation letter and I don't care what would they tell me if I will pass it. I went to the office on a Wednesday morning, My boss greeted me, he don't know that I'll be submitting my resignation few minutes from that time. I asked him if we can talk. He agreed. I just said something to him and the reason why i'm resigning is because of my health. I told him that i'm not still feeling well.

My resignation will be effective tomorrow. That's the only word that I said. and walked out the room and gave the HR the copy of the letter. Now it's been 3 weeks since I resigned. I don't know what would I do. I'm thinking to make a business but it scares me a lot. I only have few savings left.

Freelancing is not my thing. I don't have the guts to work on it. I think my life is really engaged into business. I just hope my mind would be cleared up to what would i really want in my life..

I never imagined my self applying for a non-immigrant US VISA because USA is not really in my bucket-list to travel because I know that applying for US Visa has a 50-50 approval rate but when my family decided that we would go there by November 2016, I immediately opened Google and did some research and I wanna hate Google for the horror stories that I read and also some of my friends that tried to applied for the visa and have those big money but still they are denied. Reading those creepy stories makes my heart cringe and to be scared of what might happen.

Please take note that I'm 20+ ish years old, Adult, Single, working for almost 10 months in my first job after graduation and no big savings in the bank. My dad already has his 10 years multiple B1/B2 Visa so my mom and I needs to apply for the visa. My older sister is already married and has a son so she needs to do her own application with my nephew.

If you are planning to apply for a visa, I suggest that you should not avail the Visa Assistance offered to some travel agencies because you can do this by your self. Just read, I repeat read and understand the easy steps that all written on the US Embassy Manila website. I basically did our appointment by my self.

HOW TO APPLY FOR NON-IMMIGRANT US VISA:

1. Pay the necessary MRV fee via BPI or Bancnet. (Make sure to check what visa are you applying)
2. Fill out the DS-160 form. (Please make sure that all details that you will fill out are all correct and 100% true)
3. Set an appointment. (you may call the US Embassy hotline but I suggest you use the online calendar so you have the control of your schedule)
4. Arrive to the US Embassy and be ready for your interview.
