Holidays...Then and Now

Since we arrived Dec 2010, we were able to experience Christmas and New Year first hand that year...and I can say, that triggered my "homesickness" during those times...Holidays here are far more different than that in the PI wherein the festivity is really felt in the air...here, its just an ordinary day i may say...we just spent couple of hours in the mall, had dinner with friends and thats it! went home and slept....






After that, I said to myself that I will do everything to make next year's holiday more fun, even in our own little ways...but I promised that it wouldn't be as boring as what I had experienced...and fortunately, we were able to pull it off...we had exchange gifts and lots and lots of games!!!! I can say, it was indeed a MERRY Christmas and a HAPPY new year --- but i cannot still discount the fact that --- ITS MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!

Arriving in BC

We boarded the plane for BC on Dec 22,2010...and i must say, i was not very impressed with the carrier as it just looked like the ordinary vessel going to some local destinations. Nonetheless, my dismay was nothing compared to the excitement of seeing the hubby again. Since migration is really a big leap that were gonna take, we decided to have hubby flew in earlier, so he can prepare the things needed for the fam, like house, job hunt and basically to test the waters. We wouldnt want all of us to be surprised with whats in here, knowing that were all strangers here.

And so, we arrived on the same date, afternoon. My friend P was already at the airport waiting for us, since hubby said that he wont be able to make it to the airport because its just his 3rd day at the office then. But after passing onto the immigration, to my surprise, hubby was there holding a long-stemmed rose, waiting for us at the arrival section.

As we move our way towards the airport's exit, i was really shocked when i saw the dark sky, as if it were already 10pm, i forgot to mention it was only 4pm then. We headed straight to P's house where i met all of our new-found friends. Afterwhich, we went to the nearest grocery to grab some foodies for a day or two before going home and take some rest.

That day, i would say went on so fast that i wasnt able to notice a lot of things around me except for the 10pm skyline for the supposedly 4pm one. :)



Blogging in Canada

I must admit, i got incredibly busy over the past years fixing our migration and stuffs that i entirely forgot my blogging stint. Thanks to my BFF that i got reminded of this site -- so sorry, my dear webbie.

And so, as the title of this entry says, which is quite obvious --- we have finally migrated in C. We landed as immigrants last year. Hence, you'll be reading more of our new ventures here in C, which i hope will be helpful to those who wants to pursue migration as well. Pls bear with me cause the next entries will be more of a backtracking until were all on the same page. ��
