Something New
There’s nothing wrong with discovering new things to do. It’s one way of expanding one’s knowledge. Creating a blog is something foreign to me. Thanks to KC (yes, my friend, i was inspired by your blog), I’m trying out something new today. 
I was talking with a friend on the phone one day and he asked how I was. I said, "Ganon pa rin, walang pagbabago." He said that it’s impossible that no changes happened in the last 5 years that we hadn’t seen each other. I realized that he was right. Changes do happen in our lives, perhaps, more slowly for others. But still, it’s something that does take place.
In the last several months, changes have happened in my life. And with these changes, new things came forth. 3 months ago, I married my boyfriend of 12 years. We’ve been happy in the last dozen years we were in a relationship. But after having made our solemn vows in the Church, we are even happier now.
With my husband being an immigrant here in Canada, I had to follow suit. Just last month, with mixed feelings of joy and sadness, I left the Philippines to be with Johnny. There was joy because I could finally be with my love. However, there was sadness too in the thought that I would be leaving my family behind. But I had to be strong because as what the priest told us during the pre-cana, once you get married, it is your spouse who becomes your first priority. Having come from a tightly-knit family, it was hard to leave. But realizing the sacrifices Johnny made too in leaving his family behind to secure a better future for us here in Canada made me set my thoughts and feelings right.
After being here for 3 weeks now, I am looking forward to every moment of being with Johnny. Discovering new things about each other is something we look forward to every moment we’re together.
With these changes taking place, I’m finally turning a new leaf in my life.

Hi Reg! Wow, blogger ka na rin, haha. At ang ganda ng name mo ha. Gerrie, destiny talaga! Ano ba yan, tama na nga…naiisip mo pa rin ba F4 kahit may asawa ka na? Hehe.
Sis, palabas na naman Meteor Garden sa Pilipinas. Bad trip, I’m gonna miss it. Hindi ko na nga naumpisahan Tagalized version dati, hindi ko na naman mauumpisahan ngayon. Arrrgh! Sana this time papuntahin na sila ng Channel 2. Please, please, please. Mag-aabsent ako sa school, haha, joke.
I’m so happy you’re happy. Sister kita for life e. Next to Lexi e ikaw na ang nasasabihan ko ng mga thoughts and wants in my life. Totoo yan. Very comfortable ako na mag-confide sa iyo. Uy, drama. Kaya nga nakakalungkot na hindi tayo nagkita bago tayo umalis ng Philippines. Paano ba yan, pag kinasal ako in 20 years, pupunta ka dito sa New Jersey! :p
Hindi comment itong ginawa ko e. Letter na, haha. Di bale, sobrang na-excite lang ako. :p
Ingat and see you someday!

Hi Ms. O! Hehe ang cute niyo naman, blogger na rin kayo. So you’re in Canada? Good luck as you go through your new life there with your husband. I know it will bring you closer together.
Ingat po kayo!

P.S. I find blogging a good outlet, given my occasionally crazy Chicago life. So I’m glad you enjoy it too.
