it's part of the benefits of being a student that you have a summer holiday. by summer holiday, it meant, no classes on days youre supposed to be at university, and you're stuck at home or doing whatever. (adrian still has classes coz he's teaching below university level, their holidays dont start until the middle of july--so im home alone).
last year, adrian and i spent our holidays over at the philippines.
this year, (supposedly )with my family here in the UK-- to tour them at days im free, which are tuesdays and wednesdays and the weekends. (Monday,Thursday and Friday, i still need to report to the hospital as they are the one who has been paying my tuition fees,lol). plus, im using the remaining annual leave i have, in the philippines over the christmas period.
but God has plans. other plans i am still waiting the outcome of.
apart from the fact, that we decided NOT to get a schengen visa anymore for my family (because initially we thought of taking them to paris and some parts of France), because their visa from the UK is taking SOOOOO LONG. my sister's and brother's visa is taking forever at the appeal process. all because they (or whoever it was that read their application) assumed they were husband and wife and not brother and sister. not reading application forms (esp if youre an entry clearance official) is the worst thing you could do at your job.
everything is in God's hands now.
if because of Adrian's stern complaining letters to the embassy ends up being misinterpreted as being belligerent, all i could think of are two scenarios...1) Mama has to fly on her own to the UK (while Ana and Roy wait for their visas)...or 2) they are coming here while im already back at uni (which means, ill be up to my neck with university and work,and entertaining guests at the same time, the thought makes me tired).
if there is a third plan in the offing...it will be the surprise number God has planned for me, for us. and all i could do is just sit on my hands and wait.

doesn't life throw you surprises most of the time? no matter how solid, and careful your planning is...God still is THE GAME MASTER. He rules the roost definitely.
life is like taking photos of adrian..when you catch him looking relaxed and smiling, and you just wanted to capture the moment...he'd suddenly pull a stunt like this as you press the trigger.
it ain't easy...
