waiting is driving me crazy!!!!

Everyone deals with challenges in different ways that are dependent upon their belief systems. Some use optimism to get through. Others a subjective type of realism. Others still have a tendency towards pessimism.

All are valid for the person in question. I personally, and particularly as a Christian, am an optimist. I think Trina is the same.

My view is that a non-optimistic outlook can not encourage a positive outcome. Creativity and achievement is often stifled by realism and pessimism. Having said that, I do believe that optimism should be tempered by insight. Although not necessarily hindered by it.

I guess what works for one may not always work for another. Just my thoughts!

trina you're lucky your husband is a laywer...my bf is still finding a job got no money :(

10 weeks and 1 day, that will be this Friday 01.08, I think that will be too late for Vanessa to catch the flight on 8th. Toks, Ahhhh such a pity, her birthday is on 9th. also.

WISH SHE WAS HERE !!!!

PS. a single malt helps somewhat, ha ha :-)

[Piamed]

Hey my friend. I'm still wishing the best for Vanessa to get her visa asap. The 8th would have been nice but it's OK. I know how you feel. Pia is still there and I'm here. Sure it's getting closer but everything has been getting closer for over 3 years. Still when we are together it will be the perfect time.

If I had a car I would come and join you for that single malt. Of course I'd have to stay over and now might not be the safest time for me to do that

You are both in our prayers; the others waiting also.

My yet again silly gut feeling is that both our responses will come together this week!!!

My wife's flight has been booked for the 18th Aug. I'm going to Manila on the 12th.

Best Wishes!

You were right
And I don't wanna be here
If you're gonna be there
Was that supposed to happen?

I'll hold tight
I'll remember to smile
Though it has been a while
And without you doesn't matter

There's no room
No place to start
When our souls are apart

I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
Hold you so tight
I'm counting down the days
Tonight
I just wanna be
A million miles away from here
I'm counting down the days

How you've been
It's just the usual here
And days are feeling like years
And every day's without you

Now i cry
Just a little too much
when i think of your touch
And every thing about you

I feel cold
I'm in the dark
When our souls are apart

I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
Hold you so tight
I'm counting down the days
Tonight
I just wanna be
A million miles away from here

I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
Hold you so tight
I'm counting down the days
Tonight
I just wanna be
A million miles away from here

I'm counting down the days
I'm counting down the days

I'm counting down the days
I'm gonna be your surprise
I'm gonna hold you so tight

I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
I'd hold you so tight
I'm counting down the days
Tonight
I just wanna be
A million miles away from here

I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
I'd hold you so tight
I'm counting down the days
Tonight
I just wanna be
A million miles away from here

A million miles away from here

I hope she receives her visa in good time, if Vanessa does not make the 8th. and can make the 18th. which airline have you booked your flights with ?

I'm going via Singaporeair - the new A380 plane.

Its £540 one way, but its a flexi ticket. That is £25 to change or cancel the flight. Valid until 30th Sep.

Mine is 12th to 18th, at £760 (flexi saver). £200 to cancel, but can use airmiles to cancel too.

Both bought directly from singaporeair.com

Cheers

Thanks Ben I will look into that, are you flying into London ? Vanessa will come to Newcastle.

Hi Grant, I really hope that the embassy would speed up the processing now that they have relocated and hopefully have more staff and a better system. Its silly to make married couples wait. Even a month is too long.

Best Wishes,

Your friend's time of application happened prior to the relocation of the embassy. Maybe that's the reason why it only took one month processing. Most of the couples here who filed their applications on May waited for 10 weeks before they got results. But like benb mentioned, let's hope and pray that the processing will be quicker now that the embassy has already settled in their new location. I'm also waiting for a spouse visa and it's now my 2nd week of waiting (not yet too agonizing but I must agree that it's really hard to wait. hehe!). Let us know once your wife's visa is released.

[grant]

walang auman/ sure my friend. and you two can let me know how your getting on with your visa also. take care god bless you

[Le'em]

Hi Trina!! I've been to that situation but i just waited for 7 weeks. I know how hard it feels girl. Here is a suggestion. Make an assesment, did you submit all documents needed(photos, letters, e-mails,tickets,marriage contract, bank statement, support letter, proof of accomodation, etc...) and does your hubby's savings acct. healthy? if the answer to all these questions is yes. Girl just relax(i know its hard to do) enjoy pinoy dish, watch your favorite teleserye, browse the store for some warming clothes, learn to cook english food, and most of all spend time with your family and pray...coz girl once u have ur visa, you are going to realize how fast it all happened. Good luck on your application. You'll be together soon, just like me and my hubby...

yes Trina , sephean is absolutely right, i regret why i didnt left work when i got my Visa coz i didnt even spend time with some of my relatives living not in my city..so just enjoy while ur still there and do the things you think you will miss when your here in UK..

cheers

[demlyn888]
