    Loving my New Home

    Hello Everyone!

    I just thought to let you all know that i have arrived safely last February 27th at Heathrow Airport. It was a long flight and i traveled alone, I cried at NAIA airport when I bid farewell to my 7yo son and my Dad. I never thought how painful it was to be away with my son for the first time. But i know he can be with us soon... and I need to be strong for him. I left at around 10am via Qatar Airways. I bought my ticket a month before my scheduled flight, the one way flight cost me about Php 28k economy rate. It was a surprised though when the staff at the boarding area, gave me my boarding pass and told me, that my ticket was upgraded to business class. I love their first class services. We stop over in Qatar, after a luxurious 9hrs. The flight from Qatar to Uk was boring and long! I arrived at heathrow airport at around 10pm. The immigration officer only asked me, Why it took me so long to come to the UK? After i answered him, I was told to go straight to the health office. I was asked by the lady staff if i have bring my xray with me. When I said no. I was told that they need to take a chest xray of me. It lasted at about half an hour. And when i was done, my husband and my sister in law was waiting for me with a big smiles in their faces in the lounging area! It was wonderful to see him again. And it brought back tears in my eyes... I just like to thank each and everyone of you for all the help and encouragement. I am now living and loving each day and each moment with my husband in my new home here in Nuneaton, England. xxx

    Thank you! I love the weather. Truely I do. Even if it was freezing cold. I love the fresh air. We just moved in to a new house. So I am excited to build a new home. I can't wait to have my son be with us.

    Interesting Indeed, Steve! The driver seat. The roads. The foods. The accent. The buildings. The weather. The way of life. So different from what i used to. But loving every minute... xx

    Hello again, Dee ... and to the UK. It's a wee bit chilly yet ... or, more accurately, it's ... but Spring's not far off, and the nights are getting lighter for longer. And whilst I can appreciate how sad it is to be parted from loved ones ... even if only temporarily ... I'm pleased to read how well you're settling in at your new home with your husband. God Bless!

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    what do you enjoy the most?
    It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.
