59th monthsary

this monthsary was pretty special. my honhun had a surprise for me. we went to Umm Al Qauin for a weekend getaway.

the resort was very nice indeed. ive been wanting to visit that resort for a long time and i finally could say ive been there, spent the night there. we went jetskiing ;> hahaha it was sooo fun!!! we had liempo and hotdog and grilled chicken for our meals. i got to dip in the pool...we, meaning, my honhun fished...but no fish caught, unfortunately. it was a weekend to relish..a respite from work.

thanks so much, hon. u really are the best. best lover, best friend, best companion. i love you. muah!!!!

this is my now

i have been sitting here, wondering where my life is going. am in this job which is, yes, stable yet so dull. here i am, visiting and revisiting my friendster account, checking out anything my friends did that is new, looking at their posted pictures, comparing lives. im here checking my ym, hoping to see new people have logged in just so i can somehow make conversations, even though sometimes, we just talk of things past. i finished organizing my outlook just to have something to do. ive done all the filing. i have answered several surveys hoping against hope the dullness of the day would be forgotten. but no..nothing helps. i guess the only thing that keeps me going right now is that i know at the end of the day, i'd see this person whom i could just relax with.

would you believe that we haven't really gone out for a long time? we just stay at home and play scrabbles and that's fine by me. even if the whole weekend is spent on that, it's ok. it's fun.

i guess the only trouble with my life right now is that i am no longer happy with this job.

nway, am currently doing this application for migration. yes, we are hoping to be given residence visas to this particular country where homosexuals are not discriminated or single moms for that matter. i am just waiting for my baby's passport to be issued and some details needed for my partner's identity and the application is off to the consulate. this saturday, i think i am going to take IELTS. the certficate i will receive once i pass will help with the application as well. i looked the country up in the internet and it seems really nice. they have free education for children enrolling in the primary and secondary levels so that'd be good for dru. they seem to offer a lot of career opportunities especially for IT grads and that should be good for hon and moi. the housing, albeit expensive, is doable. we could own a house there, pay mortgages for while but hey, a place to call our own? stop renting? that's great, right? but best of all, it IS change. i believe, this is just what i need now...change. and as drastic as migrating may sound, it'd be good for us. we'll finally be a family. my partner's gonna love it there, the weather is cold 8mos of the year. and with cold, i mean really cold, not just MY cold. but i'd do that for my hon. besides, i get to wear these really cool trench coats and thermal jackets..hahahaha...

my colleague just passed her driver's exam, with one take. unbelievable, given that this is the now dubai. the police had become more strict with regard to driving that, her passing the first time she took the exam was really surprising. oh yeah, she's been driving for 2 years in the philippines before she came here but still a lot of men and women who have driven in the past also have been failed for the littlest of reasons. so now that she has raised the standard i am even more scared to take the driving exam. what if i dont pass the 1st time? would it mean i am less of a person than she is? or would it mean that im stupid? sigh... it gets harder and to think i dont really wanna take the driving lessons. if only its not considered a skill, i wouldn't even be thinking bout it. but since it is, no choice at all.
