please help me find a way to work and live in bogota

10 years ago

i really want to find work in colombia and i want to live there.. what should i do?
have you ever experienced something in your life that you want to fight so hard for something?
well this is what's happening to me right now..

ok this is my story..

i am a nurse and a midwife.. i am a filipino, a catholic.. then i had a friend.. i met her at livemocha.. i was trying to find some native english speakers there for i wanted to improve my english speaking skills.. i was planning to take up the ielts exam for i wanted to work in countries where nurses have better salaries..

but.. i don't know what happened.. each day as we talk i learned to admire this girl a lot.. she's a colombian by the way.. and to make the long story short she became my girlfriend..

never in my wildest dream did i imagine this would happen..

how could i possibly love someone so much whom i even never met yet?

but unfortunately, she became busy, she is now a college student,
a lot of things are new to her.. we no longer have the pleasure of enjoying the luxury of time talking to each other the way we used to do.. and the distance really is hurting both of us..
we both wanted to be with each other.. but she can't be here with me, she wants to finish her studies and her dad probably would never allow her to..
then i tried to look for ways for me to work there.. but it's really not that easy.. i promised to visit her once a year because that's all i can do.. i don't have the means to do it often.. i earn so little here.. and i don't think it's still enough.. she tells me it's not easy to see couples everyday at school, not easy to feel so lonely, not easy to be young..
and a lot of things.. this really worries me a lot..

she really means a lot to me.. and i would rather be poor and stay with her than be rich in another country and live without her.. i don't want to lose her.. what should i do? she's far and i don't
have much money i m saving money so that i can visit her next year but i really doubt if she can hold on that long..

i never wanted anything so strong as this in my life before.. this is really crazy.. please guide me
