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. ��

Once more, your not so typical wife --- signing in, again!

Wanna Go Home

Since i entered the office, my eyes were all droppy. I can say that i managed to have a good snooze last night - though i woke up in the middle of my sleep when the hubby arrived. But still i cant help my eyes from dropping. If only i had a little bigger eyes than what i have now, i would say i already look like Garfield.

This feeling has been going on for days. It actually started when i begun taking Yaz pills, to regulate my cycle. I have two friends who's taking the same pill and one of them is also feeling sleepy and lazy all day - very like me.

I think i better check on my doctor quick before i get fired up from this office for not even checking my incoming documents. :)

And why such title?...Because i wanna go home right this very minute and have a good sound doze...zzzzzzzzzz

My Dear Friend

I really dont feel like reporting for work today. After all the clamor yesterday, i felt it would be better to sit back and slow down the hands of time. Though i am not directly affected by all the things happening in my workplace, im still affected as the one closest to me is directly involved.

I hope i could give her the best of advice there is. But to tell you honestly, this is one of the rare moments that i myself get confused on what advice should i give a friend. Im caught between letting her stay and letting her go. Letting her stay because it would benefit her people and her family. Letting her go because i know this is what she wanted all along.

Whatever her decision may be, i know she'll still do good. I know her and i know her capabilities and i know there's a whole new world out there for her to discover.

To you dear friend --- Dont be sad for something that really wasnt there. Dont cry over something that really never saw you. Dont grieve on something that was already dead from the start. Go out...see the world...and find a company that would appreciate you, that will take care of you...and most of all..find a company with a HEART!

I'm right behind you...

When everything is an issue...

Today is a not-so-good day for me. People around me seems to rant on the smallest of things, when they can just get away with it. I dont understand why everything is being taken out of proportion when it would be better to keep things in their perspective. I cant understand why some people thinks they know everything. Know-it-all people really kills me. I just wish someone would give a hard bump on their heads and make them realize that the world doesn't revolve for them alone!

Ah, nuff said...i have to stop this before i start to sound like them!

Good News and a Better News

GOOD NEWS: On May 9, 2010, while i was preparing for my mom's check-up, i got a call from my friend/officemate, informing me that the check for my car plan is already for release.

BETTER NEWS: Right after hanging the phone after hearing the "GOOD NEWS", i got another call from another friend, informing me of the much-awaited decision, that would totally change our family's future.

VERDICT: You can't have them all, we have to drop the good news for the better one.

NOTE: I apologize for not going into details with this, i am still not allowed to. When everything's set, ill definitely post it that very minute.
