@gizzelle...
for the first three that you have enumerated:
1) doing odd jobs
(2) missing my corporate life, as i have been an achiever all my life since school days pa nga
(3) may not be able to afford my "luho", you know, the fine things in life
there are possible solutions to that.. hehe.. and for some you might need to worry about...
(1) doing odd jobs - worst case scenario kung kinakailangan lang talaga mag work na... , just let your hubby do it for you.. ha ha.. joke.. possible naman na di nyo rin danasin dito yan, if the timing is right... he he
(2) will miss corporate life? there are big companies here you know.. since you have have mentioned that you are an achiever, this shall be a challenge for you then, on how to penetrate the corporate world here.. \
(3) luho? almost everybody could afford signature clothings here. Don't know about women's clothing though.. but i see simple brands such as hollister, guess, aldo, esprit, lulu lemon(sikat ba yun?), no "for all seven mankind" baka sa vancouver siguro.. or di ko lang napuna.. hehe.. kung un brand pants mo, ay maluho ka nga! ha ha... ung lang normal shopping alam ko hehe.. pero hermes and expesive bags ba? i haven't hermes yet though.. mga LV, ewan ko kung san, pero meron din siguro kasi nakakabili mga mga pinsan ko dito.. hehe..
for guys, lagi sale nike, addidas dito, he he.. ok din naman selection rubbershoes..
dining? sarap din naman food dito, japanese, italian, greek, thai... ung moxie's grill, parang fridays pero medyo mas high end ambiance. serves ok.. fine dining na din.. around $30 to $40 with tax per order, and a bit more pag steak and other stuff. hehe..
For travel, and it is just a normal thing for canadians to go around the world, afford naman at la kasi visa, diba ?. it is seems that out of the country is like a common summer get away... Oh by the way, mahilig din kasi ko travel, let me remind you that It is one of the perks that i'll be getting soon, once i become a canadian.. no more visas for me,at kayo din syempre!.. hehe.. no more visa to go to the countries that i'd like to visit.. diamonds? canada has plenty of them.. pag naging sobra yaman ka na dito, bili ka ng plane.. pasakay ha.. kaya mo yan.. basta sama ko ha! hehe..
but for your fourth concern???!!!
(4) missing my parents and siblings (my dad already mid-70s)
that is priceless... (mastercard?! hehe) and irreplacable.. naku ma miss mo nga sila.. pero pwede sila punta and sama din jan sayo in a year time.. why not diba? kami nga halos dito na din lahat.. kung buhay pa nga aso ko sa pinas baka sinama ko nadin.. hehe..
BTW, ang bilis ng LOA mo ha.. first time ako naka encounter nyan.. normally pag spouse ang ganyan kabilis.. hehe.. ok hope you think about it well, just pray and God bless..
