PR Visa Granted!!!

This is the start of a new chapter in my life....just this morning, I received a text from Mon I na may dumating daw na letter for me from NZIS. Magkahalong excitement at kaba ang na-feel ko. Sabi ko nga ke Mon I and Jesselyn, it's either denied or granted... Then, they wanted to open the letter, sabi ko later na lang. I want to open it myself. Pero di talaga ako mapakali, not to mention the pang-aasar of Jess and Mon I. So we agreed na i-fax na lang nila sa akin yung letter kasi nasa office pa ako kanina. Two pages lang naman daw. So ok, they send it. Di bale nang sila ang unang makabasa. Malalaman din naman nila yun eh.

Ayun nga, nung mabasa ko yung title ng letter ng VO ko, gusto kong tumalon sa harap ng fax machine dahil sa sobrang tuwa. APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE! My VO wants me to send my passport, plus pay a migrant levy of $300 para sa PR Visa. Wow! Ang saya noh?

Anyway, as I said, this is the start of a new chapter in my life - my life as a PR visa holder in NZ. Dami kong gagawin after this. Maraming aasikasuhin - settling in, my daughter's papers, our future. Pero alam ko naman, with God's grace and the help of the good people around me, kakayanin ko toh...

Special thanks to my Karori buddies - Mon I&Pinky Illana, Jun&Tina Yamog, Didith&Clark Figuracion, Alvin, MyrnaU&family, Jesselyn, Glen&Tina Torres, Ludger&Belle Zabala, Eugene(paparangi), Dolly (newlands).....and many more!! Thanks po for the warm welcome. Dami ko pang mga bagong nami-meet, thanks po sa lahat ng smiles and "howd'ya" do niyo. Thanks din to Achie, KU and the rest of the Auckland pinoys.

Sa Philippines, marami din akong papasalamatan pero baka di ko na mabanggit sa dami - syempre I'll start with Jon, my Baby, my family (for the support), my PLDT friends and badminton buddies, of course, Pinoyz2nz (dami niyo naitulong sa akin, thanks!), etc.

O ayan, pang-Famas ang speech ko ha....Hehehe. Sa mga nakalimutan ko dito, pasensya na po talaga.... Me pagka-malilimutin lang talaga ako. Hehehe.
