Naturally we are so happy for you, when you have a very likeable person on this forum who gives as much patronage to the family as you have done over the last year, you are so happy and it shows.
I hope your life in our country is what you want it to be, life is funny like that..you don't really know where it will take you, some girls come, and they have happy life...others come, maybe its not what they expected.
Whatever happens from now, the choices you make will determine your life path, I would only ask one thing, that when you do arrive, don't leave us Kimmi as so many do, I am not saying that you have to be tied to us at the forum, but you made a very important point, you said its a family.
I also take my hat off to Sir Keith, because over the last few years, he has managed to build and secure a great family forum here in the UK, I tried it myself, and i can tell you, its not easy to maintain and grow a family like this one, you need patience, time and effort.
He has done that, and I think one night, there were over 600 readers online, that some patronage, so what I will say to you Kimmi, is that when you get settled, don't leave us, stay with the forum, I can remember lots of well known names, who you never see anymore, for one thing or another, they come and go, mainly once they have obtained their entry clearance, you never see them again.
It goes to show, that those ones, who do this, never were interested in the Filipino UK community, they just wanted visa information, if thats what they wanted fine, the forum can give them that, but this forum is about so much more, so stay with us Kimmi, and tell your sisters how you did it, you can be a great source of encouragement to those who come after you, I have a feeling you will stay with us...you have that kind of sparkling personality that we need here.
Love to Kimmi from all your family. !!!
