just thinking out loud

In January I had the chance to be back in Palawan and visited my relatives. I feasted on sweet bananas that I had missed so much when I was in Thailand.

February, I witnessed the Panagbenga 2008 or Flower Festival in Baguio City and it was such an unforgettable experience as I got reunited with old acquaintances.

March, I got my visa on the first week of the month and a couple of weeks later I flew to England. Having to travel for almost 24 hours was not something I would want to do over and over again. But God’s protection was with me and I was in awe as I beheld the vast sky and over the horizon I marvelled at the sight of the demarcation line between night and day.

April got me getting acquainted with the local church that I love so much.

May, I met my long-lost friend here in the UK.

June, my boyfriend, now my husband, took me to a village in Suffolk to see his friends. Then I got busy preparing for my wedding.

July was when the big day took place.

August was a crazy month as well as I had to look for the right information about my visa alteration. All of the people I asked and who gave me information were the wrong people because their case was different from mine. Finally, I called the Home Office and asked what type of application I need. Bingo!

September, I started to be more useful. I volunteered in a charity shop and it helped me get to know more people in the community. Then I got a letter from the Home Office saying I can now seek employment in the UK. So I started distributing my resume to schools.

October brought some good news as I got a part-time job and my husband bought me a laptop.

November, I got another job in the hospital, catering for the patients, but after two weeks they asked me to stop because I haven’t got my passport back. Somehow, I still got that job in the winery which makes me occupied.

December, I ventured on other internet jobs and hopefully it will come up with favourable result for this coming year 2009.
