I will be in Australia on November 03,2009, actually i'll be leaving Philippines at around 2030 of Nov. 3,2009 and be in Australia on the following day, since it would be a 12 hour flight from Manila. I am excited with some hesitations of course. This is what they called mixed feeling. I'll be staying there for 89 days since my visa only allowed me to stay for 90 days and no more than that.
I am quiet happy because i'll be celebrating there Christmas abroad and at the same time my birthday, i want to experience my birthday with their Australian day, since January 26 is an Australian day.
I'll update this blog with the event of my journey in Australia.
This is not a chat room, so i know that using that words is so inappropriate. But like Greg House, if you know him, he is fond of using metaphors and i love using metaphors and words that are so vague to understand.
Stepped out would mean that will be not present in the Philippines, physically and spiritually, but emotionally i would. I know that stepped out again is a past tense, but it is just a title. I already sent my passport for visa stamping last October 15,2009 and it will arrive maybe 2-3 business days.
Only few people knew that i will be out of the country, first it was only my family of course and ising. But when i knew that i would have the visa, i told my other friend coning,rosing,aying and maria, because i do not want to tell any secrets from them. I just did not told them tha ti applied because i am always afraid of rejection. But there were so many rejections that already happened, that would be another entry for this blog.
Then after that, i would really wanted to keep the information as discreet as i could, but my mom could not kept her mouth zipped. When we ate in Chowking, a chinese food restaurant, where my college peer was there. And she was one of the manager in that chi-resto. MY mom told her that i will be in Australia soon. Well, to avoid another you told me that and this but you did not do it, i just smiled at my friend and told her.
But right now, i am having this perplexion, where i could not avoid from thinking, since i already have had my eligibility letter from Canada to become a nurse, i wanted to go to Canada too. My uncle is already willing to help me to get there,and my mom would also wanted me to go there. But Australia was my dream country and UK was just second to my option. Canada never crossed my mind since then.But, i already learned to love Canada, in fact i had been searching for room rates in apartment and looking for the place online. All i am waiting if the employer letter of job offer.
But i will wait if what will happen in Australia in 3 months time. Since my second option is always here in my frontal brain...AM i right?
It was 8.40 in the morning of September 29,2009 when my sister called up. I was sleeping at that time, maybe due to tiredness from Manila. My mom woke me up and told me that my sister was on the phone.
I was a little groogy at that time, i said hello to her, and she told me that the Australian embassy called up and told her that they will only grant me a 3 months visa to stay in Australia for they do not see any reason for me to stay for 6 months. I just said to her okay, since our plan was i will only have a one month study in there and after that i will go back home but i will apply for a job in there after i study and then i will wait for the job employment. That was the most easiest way that we can think of.
Everything was in plan except for the lenght of the stay in Australia. So i won't have my birthday in Australia, maybe i will have my birthday here in the Philippines.
