"...the simple fact of writing helps us to organize our thoughts and see more clearly what is in our surroundings. A paper and pen perform miracles---they alleviate pain, make dreams come true, and summon lost hope..." ~Paulo Coelho (MAKTUB)~

God is good, indeed

October 28, 2011

Just days after my entry complaining how hard it is to wait for the results of my interview. I’m so happy and proud to say that my visa was finally granted. God is so great, just 9 days after my interview and the decision to grant my visa was released. During the interview, the consul told me to wait for the decision in 15 to 30 days, and some applicants I asked before told me that their visa was released one month after the interview. More or less I was expecting mine to be released on November 17 because I was interviewed on the 17th of October. Much to my surprise, I received the notice way earlier than expected. The notice was dated October 26, 2011 and will be valid until January 25, 2012. This would mean I have to schedule my flight within the period.

Ordeal of waiting…

October 26, 2011

I can’t believe I don’t even have a single entry this year. I must have been feeling too lazy to write about things that happened in the past months. It’s been 5 months since my contract at BSU has ended, and I’ve been unemployed since then. I guess its high time for me to leave my comfort zone and try my luck outside PI. I just had my interview at the embassy last week and I’m hoping that my visa application will be approved. Results will be released in 15 to 30 days, and its the waiting which is the hardest…not sure if my visa will be granted or denied….please help me God. I’m confident with my interview but i hope all my papers are in order.  If everything will go smoothly, then I wont be spending christmas season with my family. It’s a little sad but I guess one must make personal sacrifices for a greater good.
