The Pariah Peaks

There is no standard or straight path in life; here’s a story of one of my closest friends, Momo. An Indian born and raised in Bahrain, studied India, worked in UAE, and moved to Canada.

From the eyes of her 13 year old self, there was the shifting of schools, struggling with dialects, and some trauma with hair oil whilst seeking some sense of familiarity.

Her 26-year-old self moved to UAE on her own for work and then took a chance to live in a completely different continent in her thirties.

Change is inevitable and here’s a woman who takes challenges head-on and Momo shares about her first-hand experience in moving to new places, adjusting to culture and logistics towards changing her life.

For anyone who wondered what it was like to make this big move, here’s a story of four friends, two countries, where is home for them? A coming of age story across lands and phases of life. A conversation between Ernie, Gabby, Iza, and Michie takes us through their journey of moving to the Philippines for university; the awkwardness of growing up in a foreign place, laughing at their struggles with language barriers, jeepney commutes, beauty standards, the job hunt, dating, and the gradual adjustment.

Episode 8 - Fresh Faith was written two weeks ago but recorded yesterday. I wanted to make sure that I aired my thoughts for a while but still document these moments. This episode was honestly a foodie quest for any restaurants that allowed outdoor dining but one Sunday morning after a remix of community quarantines, a few tarpaulins and familiar prayers from a distant speaker led her feet to a refreshing visit to somewhere she hasn't entered in for almost two years. When people ask how life is like here in Manila, find out more through this little Makati adventure in this episode.

A comeback episode post a 1-month hiatus explained as P talks about dealing with her own demons. Less on the pandemic fatigue and personal rant of what doesn't work, more on the internal battle that she's been avoiding. A tale of dirty laundry, gems, and guests with a lesson to teach.
