so true... after the wedding 3wks ko lang nakasama si hubby... hindi nga ako nakaiyak sa airport nung paalis sya sa sobrang bilis ng pangyayari, nasa car na ako nung nag-sink in na di ko na sya kasama... and cried for 2whole days... :(
Pareho pala tayo. Well actually may choice naman syang magstay pa kaso mas pinli nyang bumalik kasi yung trabaho daw nya. Tss kaya sa sobrang asar ko lagi kong sinasabi na sana yung trabaho nalang nya yung pinakasalan nya. Nagmumukha lang kasi akong kabit. :mad: Ako naman hindi ako umiyak, sa sobrang inis ko na din kasi. ;D

I think ganon din naman ang nararamdaman ng mga hubby naten. Di lang talaga sila ung tipong umiiyak agad. Twice na ko umuuwi ng Pinas, nung una bf ko pa lang sya so hindi naman ako masyado nalungkot..pero yung pangalawa, sobrang iyak ako ng iyak nung magboboard na ko para sa flight ko. Iba na pala yun pag asawa mo na yung maiiwan at wala kang choice kundi maghintay sa tamang panahon. Naging strong naman hubby ko sa airport pero nun tinawagan ko na sya when I landed, dun na sya sobrang umiyak sa fone... :(

yup tama, di lang sila magaling in showing emotions pero they do feel sad too. nung days bago ako umalis my hubby was so alright,parang normal lang sa kanya na aalis ako, lagi ko siya sinsabihan na ang manhid naman niya, then the night before i left niyakap nya ako then told me magiingat daw ako lagi and mamimiss daw nya ako, and umiyak na siya. Sa airport hindi na kami masyado umiyak, basta nung papasok nako to board i just hugged evryone (hubby, parents, cousins na naghatid) and umalis na ko without looking back pero nung malayo nako sa line na papasok, umiyak na ako. Yung hubby ko naman nung umuwi sya and only our dog was waiting for him sa house, tapos nakita nya ung mga stuff na ginamit nung nag empake ako, bigla na lang daw siya naiyak kasi nung time na nakauwi siya, un ung time na we go out for a walk with our dog. then that night ayaw pumasok nung dog namin sa room he was waiting for me daw sa pinto. huhuhu (tears while typing this) .

Now hubby is always saying to me na i-promise ko daw na ito na ung last time na magkakahiwalay kami, na ayaw na daw nya ito maulit pa. Being away made me realize so much, na sana pala di ko siya inaaaway o di na lang kami nag aargue over petty things nung andun pa ako, na sana hindi ko sya pinagiinitan ng ulo nung nagpprepare kami ng docs at naiinis ako na ako ung gumagawa sa halos lahat...

hays... anyways... now we couldnt wait to be together again, im always telling him im excited to show him around, first time nya to experience ang winter this 2012, shopping, and idagdag na ung excitement over having our own place here, as of now kasi nakikistay pa lang ako sa relatives ko pero bago xa dumating lilipat na ako. dadalhin din namin si PELI (thats our dog) so we are excited for him too.

Ganon din ang sabi saken ng hubby ko sis. Sabi nya sana daw yun na last goodbye namen kasi lage na lang daw sya naiiwan sa pilipinas. Kahit kasi nung nasa pilipinas pa ko long distance relationship na kame kasi nagaaral ako sa manila, at sya naman sa province nagaaral. So mahirap talaga. Pero iba yung tipong aalis ka papuntang ibang bansa, kasi hindi ka naman basta na lang pwede umuwi. Dati nakakauwi pa ko ng province pag break sa school..pero when my family migrated here, nako, 2 beses pa lang ako nakakauwi and we've been together for 6 years. So imagine mo na lang di ba?

Hayysss! Pero di bale sis, matatapos na ang paghihintay naten. Konting tiis na lang at makakasama na naten ang ating other half. Iniisip ko na nga lang na soon talaga makakasama ko na sya. Para hindi na ako mainip at para mabawasan din lungkot.

In God's perfect time sis, mangyayari rin lahat ng gusto naten. :) Basta let's keep praying. :)

thanks sis for the comforting words.I need that, I need to keep believing and praying and being patient. Right now, in addition to the loneliness of this immigration process, I am disappointed and frustrated in searching for a job here in Calgary. I just arrived two weeks ago, had 3 interviews already and hundreds of job applications sent out and I can't seem to land a job, there are so many vacancies for accountants yet ang hirap makakuha ng job. Hays , doble doble lungkot ko ngayon.. :(

Sis, mahirap talaga makakuha ng job lalo na kapag foreign professional. Madame nga openning dito for accountants, pero yung mga accounting grads dito may kinukuhang ilang level of certification bago makapagwork sa field nila...Ganyan din nangyari saken. Engineer ako sa Pinas, pero dahil sa differences in standards dito, kelangan ko pang bumalik sa school at mag-update ng skills ko. :)

yep i plan to update my skills eventually. taas ata ng sahod ng may acctng license here hehehe. pero as of the moment i need a job muna para magipon, kahit temp o entry level, since wala pa akong canadian acctg skills and experience, ang problema sabi naman nila maxado daw ako overqualified for junior posititions dahil may managerial exp ako, pero kung para sa senior positions naman, underqualified. di ko alam san ako lulugar .

Nakakainis nga minsan, kahit qualified ka sa job. Pag nakita nila na foreign-trained ka, mas pinapaboran nila ung mga trained dito. Basta keep praying sis. :) Ang maganda eh may relatives ka yata dyan. So kahit pano may moral support kang nakukuha from them. :)

It wasn't easy for us to leave our wives behind too but we have no choice. You have to understand that we need to have a stable job/sufficient income to be eligible to sponsor you... What do you think would have happened if he decided to stay few more weeks tapos pagbalik nya dito wala syang trabaho?
Ladies, think outside the box...
