amusemyself

bit by bit

i love traveling, for the lots of new things it promises to bring.

so imagine my glee when i got this the week back to work from holidays 2011:

i knew i couldn’t easily use it, what with my bond and all. but the prospect of being able to because of opportunities that may be given to us made me feel great. heck, just owning one was already a delight for me.

come february, the opportunity presented itself. tentatively. so my kilig was contained so as not to be so disappointed big time. i only looked on the background of the country, and told only my family and boyfie.

on march it became clearer but still can’t proceed due to some details that needed to be sorted out. a little kilig again, but still for a short bit. i allowed myself to look at pictures this time though. and when we went to cebu at the end of march, the trip was part of my prayers in the churches we visited. i also shared the possibility with my dates there. we all gushed in hushed giddiness, still.

2 days back from cebu, an invitation letter was mailed. He answered that fast, and i was so thankful but still manage to contain the excitement to a manageable level. i knew i was a step closer when i was asked to file for a visa. around this time, a few friends and cousins knew and prayed for me as well.

and today, 16th of may, 5 weeks after filing:

thanks for the prayers. thank you Lord. You are amazing.

can i be all out giddy already? no-uh. just a bit, kay. you’ll get there. then, you can be giddy like crazy.
