I think it depends on your home country ...whether you miss it or not. If your standard of living and chance for employment is better here, why wouldn't you want to stay until you see the situation in your homeland improve?

Hey obed ...musta?
Why don't you start a small business; be a boss once in your life lol. I'm venturing now on egg production and it's going good. Am planning to go home maybe next year, if my business will go better.

well good thought ...they are lucky who go back to thier home its better to go back before too late

TO DO's B4 U LEAVE THE BIG "Q"!!! ...1.) Check the economy back home!
2.) Check the crime rate back home!
3.) Check the weather back home!
4.) Check if you have enough money to survive!
5.) Check if once your out of money, your age is right enough to get a good job!
****If the TO DO's don't fit you, better cancel your flight! Go back to work!
Let me know if you want a HOPING LIST from me and i will let you know.
Best of luck!

i think every ofw will go ...i think every ofw will go back home eventually once they reach their goal. sadly some are still here trying to make ends meet especially when the demands back home are too high. im glad that some of my kabayans are able to make it and hope everything will work out back home. just remember to hold on to the money and tell them its not a vacation but its for good :)goodluck!

Going Home? ...I will sit on my roof in the sun, read a newspaper that contains real news, drink cold beer bought from a proper supermarket at a fair price, fire up my bbq and eat real sausages. I could go on but I would only bore you to death even more than Doha does.

Relax ...Sometimes going back scares us the most because we have missed a lot things in our country.We think that so many things changed already there and we may not adjust easily, when the truth is it's us being here in a different culture that has changed a lot.
Try to relax first, enjoy your hard earned money. But make sure you do have a plan to sustain yourself and your family. You know how it is in the Philippines, money flows like water, and you being an OFW everybody thinks you brought a sack full of QR.
Honestly, its more practical that while here, we do start a business in our countries then if its doing okay then that is the time to make a decision to come home. O well, that is just my opinion.
Good luck and God Bless.

Goodluck !!! ...Do all that you have been planning to back home all these years ... I am sure 9 yrs stay here will definitely allow you to. But be careful not to blow up the savings. As for me whenever I go back, it will be for a light hearted job allowing me to spend more time with my family.

home sick ...I've been here in qatar for 2 years but i feel very home sick everytime i see picture of places in the philippines. I will take a loan first then escape to the philippines
budslightyear said
/-a-t-/ backlog 19 yeah, .../-a-t-/ backlog 19 yeah, talking about contributing to filipinos already bad reputation.
The likes of you makes life more difficult for filipinos (and citizens of 3rd world countries)to secure loans even with legit reasons. you shouldn't have left the philippines in the first place.
i hope you're not serious about your post.

Just did this! ...I just moved back to the US two months ago, after 6 years in Qatar. I thought I'd miss a lot of things about living there, but the truth is I'm still thrilled every day to be home. This morning I woke up at dawn to the sound of birdsong in the trees in my front garden, and I felt like I had died and gone to heaven.

Hello Obed. I am so glad to ...Hello Obed. I am so glad to hear about your plans on going home for good. I am sure you have saved enough for this huge change in your life. As to what you can do after Qatar, starting up a business is one and the best. It would be great if you'd find a way to multiply your savings instead of just waiting for them to drain. I am sure coming back after leaving Qatar 'for good' won't be a part of your plan. All the best!

Life After Qatar ...Obed kabayan I've been here for 18.5 years already. But going back home never cross my mind. If ever I decided to leave Qatar for good I'd transfer to a much better place. And that would be the land of the free. I just got a multi entry visa recently. Just waiting for the right time. Anyway it's case to case basis. If going home would be the best option for you then go for it. Good luck.

Nine years in Qatar ...I was 24 when I came to Qatar & nine years after, I decided to leave for good. During my nine years, I gained a network of associates who later introduced clients for my new import-export business.
Don't rely on your host countries for opportunities. You have to create them yourself in whatever & wherever situation you are. If you can't, then you have a serious crisis in your hands.

LIFE AFTER QATAR!? Well, it's ...LIFE AFTER QATAR!?
Well, it's been few days now past a year since i left Qatar and what can i say? Life is fun anywhere we go, especially backhome where we can get to do many things that we can't do in Qatar.
When i arrived here last year, I thought early retirement from rat-race would be fun, yes for a while it was, but up until reality and boredom kicks in!
As i found it, life's learning must be continuously fed with fire in order to keep the excitement level of life at the peak.
At the onset of things manifesting, one will find plenty of ways to rekindle those dormant whims and desires kept at the back of mind that will sustain ones' drive to keep up with the flow of life.
As one saying goes, "take your passion and make it happen".
Whatever you decide to take on after Qatar, I wish you All the Best :)
