And the journey continues... (just a blah-blah of my stay in England)

[etoile23]

Time flies by soooo quickly... It's my 2nd year in UK last October 5. :yikes: It seems like yesterday when I first set foot on England's soil. I didn't like the weather instantly. I suddenly wanted to catch the first flight back to Manila. But when I got to see London, it's just like what I saw on the pictures: London Eye, Big Ben, the double decker bus and the ever-popular telephone booth (yes, my first UK shot is beside of that famous phone booth). And I told myself, I am ready!

Looking back, I learned a lot. Shed tears and sweat. Meet new people. Had a fun, fun rollercoaster-ride-type of marriage. Learned to like the English food. Become slightly alcoholic. :Rasp: Able to conquer my first mountain. (shame, I wasn't able to do it back home :bigcry:)

I'm thankful with this site, I met my wonderful Filipina friend. And we still remain the closest buddies.

Sometime next week, I am applying my ILR. Hopefully everything will be fine. And hopefully I will meet more wonderful and amazing people who will inspire me to bravely continue the journey no matter how difficult the road of what-we-call LIFE. :xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thanks for posting your story so far...... more to come I'm sure :rolleyes:
The bit about enjoying English food seems a bit farfetched to me :Cuckoo:

Anyway thanks for sharing and all good luck for your ILR.
Your immigration journey is reaching the final lap.

:) Yes, indeed ... time flies - especially when you've been enjoying yourself - rising to the challenges of a completely different lifestyle from that to which you'd previously been accustomed. I remember greeting you when you joined us here - shortly after your arrival a couple of years ago. :thankyou: for sharing your experiences with us ... and all the very best with your imminent ILR application. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
