Extended

My visa got extended until 7th of April. So I have a few more weeks to keep the dice rolling.

Archie and I were just discussing about our back-up plans should our main plans not work. And I have given myself a time-frame to accomplish my purpose of being here. I hope in God's help, things will fall into place.

Stay inspired

I started to get a little worried and shaky after reading the local news yesterday and today about foreign workers' slow-hiring. I am affected by this news. Why? because I'm currently looking for job and if it is true, the chances of me getting employment might slow-down as well.

I thought the economy is recuperating. Too bad, I guess the rage of recession has not yet ceased. This economic slump has massively impacted the whole world. When will it stop? Urgh! My heart goes out to those parents who have children to feed yet unemployed. I hope and pray that everything will turn out well.

Let's all stay inspired. Pray hard...

Really...

My previous posts had all been about the happy-getting-away-from-the-real-world kind of thing. But seriously, there had been a lot of realization and adjustments in between those happy days.

So yeah, I did tie the knot with my man of 6 years. And the decision didn't happen so instantly as if everything was perfectly fine. It was actually like second to impossible that we'll ever make it happen, but we did it. And it was successful. It was the major leap we had in our lives. You just don't know how grateful I am that God allowed things to fall into place the way it should be.

After the wedding, everything sunk in. And then I asked myself, what's next? Can I handle having to instantly become a part of an existing family? Will I survive, will I be accepted? How am I supposed to begin my new life? So many questions popped in my head and left me blur. I think I was taken aback for a while. And it had been one of the reasons why I went to Manila right after I dropped Archie to the airport. I was confused and scared to go home (in-laws home) all by myself. I needed to think it through deeply.

And after a few days, I had my answer. I needed to get home and face my new life with them. I had to prove to them that whatever theories they may have about "children getting married tends to forget their parents" isn't true to everyone. I had to make them see that not all cases are the same. It is tough to be married to an only child. My mom always told me that when the time comes that I settle down, I gotta try to live with my in-laws. And so I gave it a shot since I had the window of opportunity. My mom's words of advice inspired me. I told myself that if it won't work, at least I can say that I tried. Well, the outcome turned well unexpectedly. "Mother knows best" line should never be an understatement. It was indeed mission-accomplished. I stayed with my in-laws for the whole month and made them feel that I am genuinely accepting them as my new family as they did to me.

My vacation was after all a very fulfilling one. I praise God for it.

Hello Sunny Island...

Wee! I'm home to Sunny Island, Singapore. Nice to see Archie again after a month hehe.

Packing up

I bought my ticket. And I'll be flying this Saturday at 12:40pm bound to Singapore.

Wohoo! time to pack-up. I packed mostly the essential stuffs and one of it is food haha. My luggage contains lots of it hehe. Living abroad is costly and crazy. So we always buy lots of food to bring back home. It would help us save a few dollars *winks*

Got my passport

Yay! Finally, I got my passport today. The long wait has paid off. And I am happy this day came. This means, v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n is over. Sweet! I can now book my flight back to Singapore. My planned flight will be this coming Saturday, 6th. It will surely cost me a a few bucks though. But it's alright, at least I'll see my better half sooner :)
