Getting ready for everything:)

Wow, it's been like almost a month since I blogged here, I have been busy with school, and after that I wasn't able to update because there were soooo much stuff to do. We attended this seminar that lasted half a day, it was mostly about immigration and settlement and all the stuff in between. It actually gave me a feeling that nothing's gonna be the same anymore as soon as we get there, I mean new house, new town, new faces and new everything, basically new life. Not that I'm complaining but it's making me feel different. Anywho, i'm really looking forward to it. I thank God (I will always do that) because He made this all happen. We just hope that we won't have a hard time looking for what we're supposed to and whatnot.

Getting ready. This is my life.

Long walks & future travels.

I’ve always loved taking long walks, on a perfectly fine day of course. It gives me a temporary peace of mind, something I would call an escape from all the madness around me. I can drag my feet anywhere I want to, long as I could trace my way back it won’t be a problem. I love it when I see new things and places, it kind of refreshes me from the usual stuff I see, and my curiosity level raises. There are lots of places I want to explore, of course not by walking I won’t get there, maybe an airplane or some public transportation (I would do anything to ride on a double-decker bus). I want to go to New York! Have a smoothie or like a corndog while gallivanting the streets til I get somewhere to take photos, I would love to see the meat packing district, heard the delis there are the best. Japan & Korea are also on my list, I just love it when I watch Travel and Living channel and those countries get featured and like getting the sense of the place. Night markets are hot. Food by the way is one of the main reasons I would love to getaway.

Maybe I’ll take long walks when we get to Canada, you can never go wrong with feet exercise right? Except when it’s snowing already, the ground get slippery and of course you can’t move a lot cause you’re freezing. Plus, our speaker while ago at the peer counseling session told us to explore the place so we can learn how to navigate when life finally starts over. I learned a lot today.

God, i know You hear me, thank You very much for all of this.

My letter to myself for March.

Wow...it all seemed a bit fast don't you think? One minute I was buying this big notebook and planning to write on it like crazy (I only know what that ended up to) and reading the Last Song by Nicholas Sparks (im still on page 87...I suck at promises) and also that thing I'm not supposed to spill in here.

Letter to myself.

What's up Carlo? Will you get serious for one dang time? I'm sooooooo frustrated that everytime you say something, you find ways to NOT accomplish them and you get away with it! It's like you say it for the sake of making yourself look good (but we all know you're not) and please stop the OCD habits you have every night, that makes you look not normal.

Seriously, me talking in the third person is a way of REALIZING all the wrong things I've done and I hope that i won't make the same mistakes anymore, because I am not getting any younger and a new chapter in my life will start come summer. I also keep thinking that while I am doing all these bad things, God is still not giving me punishments or anything and I do hope He doesn't because I regret all those bad things, and this time I will confess, I will confess.

thoughts on immigration and advertising

My mom and dad just bought the tickets this morning. I feel like it's totally legit now (referring to Canada) and it got me doin a lot of thinking about the future and what it holds for us (that sounded sooooo deep). Anyway, we're on the final stretch of the semester, FINALS. The minor subjects are totally good, I feel like I did my best on those 3 subjects while the majors were a bit torturous but somehow we managed! Advertising Principles is giving me headaches though, and I'm not even an adver student.

Thank you God. We love you, our dreams are really coming true:)

Flying (02/15/10)

I'm a mess.
I don't know where to go, who to turn to.
I'm on the edge of losing it, but no I won't.

Indifferent, that's how i feel
I'm hurt, yes one too many times.
I want to be insensitive from now on.

I'd rather go away than be here
Won't make much difference if I stay
I'd feel worse if I do.

But there's one thing I'm looking forward to
And that is, being able to finally fly
I'd risk the jitters, just to know how that feels.

The Enchanted getaway!!!

Here are some photos from our EK getaway last Sunday, it was sooo much fun! My first time, definitely a very unforgettable experience. We got wet, almost ran out of money and had a very interesting conversation with Joyce while on the Ferris Wheel:)

In a weird state of mind.

I feel really weird. I dunno, is this some kind of departure anxiety? I think so. I really want to get out of here (I don't mean that in a negative way) I am not talking about a problem but yeah, it's one of those things that just gives you a rollercoaster of emotions...for one, I am directing our children's show on Friday, I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do but with the help of the people in my group, I'm pretty sure we'll overcome. One more thing, I feel like I'm falling away...it gives me a really weird feeling cause lately, it's been all about work work work and like, there's no time to talk anymore. So yeah, that's about it. Life will take you to highs and lows, what matters is how you respond to it.

Just going to share something that made me smile today- MY BIRTHDAY ANALYSIS c/o some facebook application/quiz which I found entertaining and true.

A hip non-conformist who truly stands for his/her beliefs - you are out to make a difference in this world, and you have a realistic chance of success. You have always been self-driven and derive your inspiration from those close to you. Ambitious - and why shouldn't you be - the sky is the limit for you!
