Naging OFW ako sa isang Southeast Asian country for 6 months nung 2020. During that time, tumira ako sa isang relative.

Nung na layoff ako at hindi nakahanap ng work, umuwi ako ng Pinas. Bago ako umuwi ng Pinas, kinonvince ako ni relative na mag iwan ng damit sa closet para kung sakaling mag-luwag ang mga restrictions at bumalik ako, hindi na kailangan magdala pa ng maraming damit. So iniwan ko yung mga polo sleeves at ilang mejo mamahaling damit nun kasi nga hindi ko rin naman magagamit din sa Pinas dahil nga sa lockdowns and walang events na pwedeng pag gamitan ng mga damit na yun..

Nagkaroon ng mga travel restrictions and all that as the days and months passed kaya I was hoping and wishing na magluwag yung mga restrictions kasi I planned to go back to that country as a tourist for the sole purpose of getting those clothes and sell it dito sa Pinas kasi I have no plans of working abroad ever again. Found a six-digit job sa Pinas that gives over half of what I've earned in that SEA country.

3 years after, and true enough nagluwag ang travel restrictions kaya I planned sana to go to that country to visit and at the same time, get the remaining items that I left there.

But to my surprise, nung birthday ni relative last month, after kong batiin, he told me that he donated clothes for the victims sana of the Turkey Syria earthquake. He donated his and mine's. Then he proceeded to tell me na bibilan nalang niya ako ng bago kung sakali man na bumalik ako.

I was shocked kasi nasabi na niya yun after the fact and I wasn't informed beforehand. I have planned to get it sana at ibenta sa Pinas coz I stand to make 1.5k - 2k PHP sana out of those clothes.

Hays. I don't know what to feel. Part of me feels bad kasi nga walang prior consent from me before donating pero on the other hand, may utang na loob din kasi pinatuloy niya ako sa kanyang bahay for 6 months na walang bayad.

Di ko magawang magalit and I guess, I just need to let that 2k PHP fly. :(
