Face Time

I got to FaceTime or video chat with my nephew Vincent last night.

He was super cute and funny and he is growing up so fast!

I'm glad I got to meet him again
And okay with him the other week.

He gave us an online kiss too! Haha too cute.

Dress me up!

It is my dad's birthday today and my family celebrated by eating out.

They sent me some pictures and I saw they were all dressed up so unwanted to dress up a bit. Hahaha still casual Singapore style dressing up.

I miss them.

Happy birthday daddy!

*blink

How time flies. In a blink of an eye it is now time to return to Singapore.

Tomorrow is work again! It's going to be absolutely back to normal. Hahah. Very glad to have had the time we had in Bangkok. It was fun as usual. Especially spending time with my sister and seeing Bayu all relaxed.

Richmond drove us with hazel to the airport.

I was also glad to see my aunt as uncle who came from Canada and whom I havnt seen in years.

More pictures as usual. The last of it for now.

Change

The only constant thing in life is change.

How true that is I have learnt that over and over again.

Recently, just today actually Bayu and I have received some news which will bring about some change in our life (no we are not having a baby hahahaha).

It cannot be disclosed as of now but will be soon.

I have experienced change after change in life the biggest and most difficult was moving away from the only home and country I've ever known.

I've survived that and I know I can survive other changes that come my way.  It's just that the first impact of the knowledge of change is not easy.  Especially thinking about the uncertainty about the future and the effect this change will have on me and people around me.

I found some encouraging quotes for myself and would like to share it with you because I know I'm not the only one who goes through changes in life

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.  ~Mary Engelbreit


When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.  ~Victor Frankl


Change always comes bearing gifts.  ~Price Pritchett



Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown.



The most meaningful for me is found in Hebrews 13:8  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today,  and forever.

Yes...Jesus is the only constant in the changes that take place in my life.

Weeeeeeeeeee!

It feels so good to wake up late (later) on Saturday.

Normally I can wake up around 9.30 because I go to SML and that starts at 10.45.

Going to church here, I am just another member with no duties.

On the other hand, when I go back to my new life, I need to wake up at 7 to prepare fro breakfast (No Mommy to cook and put food on the table), prepare the dish for lunch and all the other stuff a girl takes to prepare to go to church.

We need to leave by 9 because church is way not close by to home (It's not walking distance like it is here in BKK =P ). Fortunately, we use taxi and get there around 9.30 where I am the P.W. and all the duties begin.

Yes, It's so good to be back ( I'm sure you've heard me saying that a gazillion times since arriving).

Tomorrow night I send my parents off to The Philippines and on Wednesday morning I'm back in Bayu's arms...hehehhe...not to mention back to my ZERO social life...but THAT'S another blog post.

My Current Status

I currently have no official "place" I belong to.

I no longer have a visa here in Thailand. I am only on a tourist pass. After living in this only place I've known and coming to love it so much..I still don't and will never officially belong.

Isn't it so cruel? I'm born in Thailand, I grew up here and I've never lived in the Philippines even though both my parents are Filipinos. I speak, read, write and understand Thai but not Tagalog. This country is my home...and yet I am considered a foreigner, a stranger.

Yes, I have a home in Singapore but I haven't gotten my dependent pass or a work permit yet so I had to exit (that's why i'm back here in BKK) because visitors are only permitted to stay for 1 month.

The lame part is also that I am holding a Filipino passport and the Singaporean Immigration, and if I had gone to the Malaysian border, are always suspicious that I'm a prostitute or that I'm doing some fishy stuff in Singapore. 3 times, and I'm absolutely expecting the 4th time when when I go back next week, they brought me aside and interrogated me...Why are you here? Who are you staying with? How long are you staying? How much money do you have on you? What's the name and number of the person you're staying with? They also took my thumb prints...

That was when I was entering Singapore...Then, when I was exiting Singapore, they brought me aside and interrogated me again... When did you arrive? Where are you going next? Do you know you can only stay in Thailand for 3 months at the most? Where are you going after Thailand Philippines or back to Singapore? And then they ask again..When did you arrive here? What did you do here? Are you coming back again?

I mean do you know how it feels to be brought aside in the interrogation room and be questioned as if you are doing something wrong when actually you are not..you're just trying to live a life? Do I have to tell them my life's plan? Ha, it can be quite a stressful situation. I mean sure I understand they're just doing their job and there are alot of people to be suspicious about but..everytime? It 's stressful. Well, I know I'm not doing anything wrong and I have nothing to hide so..yeah...just letting off some steam.

See, If Thailand had just given us Citizenship (there's no such thing as "green" card and that's another story) I wouldn't have to go through all that ...It's just because I hold a Filipino passport and I'm "traveling" around that I get scrutinized. I don't know about other nationalities but I know as a fact that in many, many places around the world look down on Filipinos because there are so many of them anywhere you go! Hahhaaha.
