The tale of Alan

[andypaul]

I have watched my movie - don't you HATE that word? I do - it's a FILM for goodness sake!!!

I have watched it several times now.

I did theatre and pantomime a few years ago. My most famous was a Panto - 'Babes in the Wood' which I did at the Haymarket in London. I thought I did a good job but the critics slated me!!!!!

The movie I did recently - I was not happy with - yet it won 'Best Film' award!!!

Where is the sense?

I am not a happy bunny at the moment 'cos I am here in Cebu and my wife is in Dumaguete - a different island!!

I came over here to BE WITH HER - and now we are once more separated.

I have a new job! I REALLY did not want to leave CELI - where I was working - but I was only earning 50 quid a week - and that is a struggle.
Next week I start at CPILS - over £100 quid a week! Still pathetic isn't it? But, don't get me wrong, I am VERY grateful for this opportunity.

It is a life threatening motor cycle ride to get to work - ADVICE - if you come to the Phils. only ride/drive if you really HAVE TO!!!!

I shall never leave the Philippines without taking Hanna back with me - but I can never see it happening. I read all the posts about people who have had their Visas granted and it makes me feel happy for you - and sad for me!

One day maybe - one day!

I look at Hanna and I see happiness in her countenance - yet - through no fault of my own - I feel that I am doing her an injustice. She wants to 'experience' the UK and I can't do it for her. I love her and cannot give her what she wants...................................

A mere island hop as Mr Dom says. Who knows what the future holds Alan once the "Film" takings come in its a european tour for the two of you

Keep your chin up Al,
You never know, you might be able to pop over to the UK with Hanna when your invited to the Cannes film festival next year.
