My paradise, my home, my soul and me... I miss.

As for being pampered at the spa, you have a husband....

Hubby wants different form of payment Keith

And don't like having a housemaid around the house even back home. I can't stand having to deal with more than 3 people in the same house at all everyday. LOL

It is the warmth of people back in Philippines that I like the most. The smiles even though faced with hardships in life.

It wasn't a shock for hubby to visit me, he has been to most countries in Southeast Asia, have lived among the people in shacks in indonesia, vietnam, laos, malaysia, thailand and cambodia or live in tents and jungles there of which he thinks that leading a much harder life.

What can I say, is that this country is nice, with its classic and old structures, impressive architectures, literature, history etc. that I once praised in my young mind about civilization and culture. But difficult to see it in the present situation and appreciate it.

But I prefer my paradise back home. I don't need to travel for miles to have a nice white sandy beach, hammock and palm trees nor pay much for that simple luxury. I don't even have to pay more than 50p for a bottle of iced cold beer.. or shall I say, beer with ice in it

For work wise, that is not a problem with me. I am workaholic myself even back home. I hate sitting down and wait for the day to finish, that will drive me I think being pregnant, thus career is being put hold is a downside at the moment. Hope baby will come out soon. So I can have myself back.

The difference back home and here is:

Whenever you want to have a get together with either friends and family... you don't need to phone in an hour or make a schedule for it. You can pop in and out anytime even though how busy one can be. Or meet up even just for a bus or jeepney ride to have a chat and that will do.

But I think, I only need to look at the bright side. I have hubby with me and that is all that matters. I did not come here for the country, I came here to be with hubby.

Still I can't get over about UKBA's decision about refusing the visit visa, but then again, things happens for reason.
