Sometimes, and I donāt care whether we say itās chance of the hand of God, bad stuff happens but it is to path the way for something better. Weāre being told that weāre heading down the wrong road and that there is a better way. This has been happening a fair bit lately.
Both me and Dennis thought that being rejected for the visa was the worst thing ever but, in the grand scheme of things, with a lifetime to look forward to, itās just allowing us a better opportunity to grow even closer. If I am honest, I need a holiday. Iāve not had a real stress free holiday for years. Iāve been out the country but itās just been the sort of thing I do here but somewhere else, not really relaxing and certainly not with anyone special. Being on my own is OK but it doesnāt compare to sharing life experiences.
So, thanks to Mr Credit Card and Miss Loan I am off to spend the month with Dennis. As said previously, all benefits are cancelled for the month so there is zero question as to whether this is OK or not. Weāre going to spend a week or so at the flat meeting folk around there, eating out, going to the cinema and then weāre off to Hong Kong for a few days. Neither of us have been there so it gives us the chance to see how we cope when weāre both out of our environment. Sure, weāre doing Disneyland whilst weāre there, it has to be done. Iāve a habit of wanting to share my love of Disney with those I love. Weāre also going to Ocean Park, I love the idea of seeing a panda in China!
After HK weāre heading down south to see the family down there on Mindanao. The Foreign Office say that I am either going to get shot, blown up or kidnapped but Iāll take my chances! After that weāre up in Bohol just the two of us overlooking the sea in what I am sure will be a really relaxing and romantic part of my stay there. Then itās back to Manila for an overnight stay at the H2O Hotel and finally home again toward the end of May.
Zoey is off on a little adventure herself for the month so Sean & Daisy get the place to themselves for a change.
I think that visa refusal was meant to happen because itās also given me the embryo of an idea of a way to ensure we get a fiancĆ© visa next year, more on that later.
Thinking of things going wrong but making life better, I donāt think itās just me this is happening to so I am going with the flow and enjoying prayers being answered.
Did I mention I am going to meet in person my future mother-in-law? Yeah, a little nervous about that, I hope she likes me because that sort of thing is important to me.
I just got my weight under 10 stone for the first time in years though I also just had a Chinese to celebrate, I donāt think I thought that out too well! There are 14 pounds in a stone for those who donāt use UK measurements! That means I am currently 139 pounds.
Do I go watch TV I wonder or play a game? Hmmm, such hard decisions!
