It has been so loooong since I last posted and I'm speechless because my comment section has too many messages. Oh well, most of it are spam, LOL.
I need a lot of cleaning with those unwanted spams which leave me no recourse but to change my comment settings so it will be easier to clean it when I go on hiatus again, LOL.
Anyway, how have we been.
First things first, my sister's NBPNP application was not as successful as ours. Sad but after almost a year of waiting, their application for permanent residency was denied due to an undated Letter or Employment (LOE). It is just strange because LOEs are reviewed on the provincial level and, oh never mind, I believe also that my sister has a fault on it because this was one of her additional document but failed to reply. Or, maybe my fault too because I did not guide her all throughout their Federal stage as I was on social media break (FB, IG and WhatsApp) for so long last year and she did not really dare to bother me because of the below reason. Now that my sister's application was denied, my nephew is now routing the student visa stream. This may be a very long process but for as long as we are here, we will do everything for them to come to Canada too.

Well, as stated over and over, the only reason why we are here in the maple leaf country is solely for our Canadian dream of having our little R. However, part of trying to reach that dream is to try to gamble between happiness and pain. Armoured by so much faith and hope, we took the chance to do a procedure last year but we were never ready of the outcome of it. Year 2018 brings out the worst in us with our loss. It was unexplainable and unbearable. The pain is still there but month after months we have chosen to pick up the broken pieces of us and chose to stand up again through God's grace.
However, as we were to embark our repeat procedure after gaining the needed strength, I lost my first love too 6 months after we lost them. My dad went into cardiac arrest while undergoing an arteriovenous surgery. I have always been a daddy's girl and when I received those dreaded messages that my dad passed away when I was still mending my broken self ...ah, I was so disoriented. Going home to the Philippines is a bittersweet moment but has given us the courage to stand, especially me, on our own two feet "again".
Year 2018 really is a very rough time for us both but has taught us so many lessons especially on "some" people around us here in Fredericton which is so much unworthy to even think or talk about it. Just a little note to ourselves:
I know this post is a sad one but this is our journey, it is not always a happy one. That is life, there will always be ups and downs just like a wheel. Sometimes your up, sometimes your down. Last year may have brought us enough trials but through God's grace, we survived. We've learned that sometimes God will put you to your worst so you can become a better person, know your worth, cautiously grow and carry on with a smile despite the struggles.
Moving forward to 2019, I believe we are more than at peace right now, our hearts and minds are all good and very optimistic for the future especially to our Canada dream.
Now, let me do my spam cleaning, LOL, as more blogs is coming for this year as our Year 3 as permanent residents is drawing closer. Until next blog. Ciao.
