Spring snow...not Showers

Didn't I tell you that it was spring last Saturday when Hubby and I took a walk. Sunday was very sunny and warm.
But this occured Monday after lunch and continued the whole afternoon and evening.
It was cold and very wet. The snow gathered on the ground and melted  into a chilly flood.
I  guess I wasn't the only one who wasn't dressed for the weather. Thin shoes, thin socks, thin jacket, silk scarf and an umbrella (at least). With a weather like this wearing such outfit as mine, you end up getting sick. And so I did. 
Fever already started as soon as I  finish work early evening. I was feverish on the way and as soon as I got home, changed to pjs and hopped in to bed. It got worse at night. I didn't have any appetite for food neither for any warm beverage except water.
I stayed home today, eating only apples and oranges and drinking water. My body simply longed for those tastes. Sometimes you simply have to listen to your body, it knows what it needs. Not only did I not  have appetite for anything solid but I  felt so off with anything that has milk and sugar. I hated them (at least today). Chicken soup didn't encourage me either. I couldn't take seeing those floating fats. I don't know I just suddenly felt sooo disgusted by them.
So basically, I spend my day in bed, getting up for some fruits intake, check blog, sleep.

But that's  not all. I simply cannot have a rest even when I 'm sick. They called from work regarding an inspector from the immigration office inquiring about me. How can I not go there-my residence application is under the process so this must be connected to it. So, with my feverish, painful body, we went to hear what other stuff am I required to submit. He had to check if I really work at the place and confirm other matters. He didn't really say if it's about my application but I do hope that they are doing something about it as I only have a month and few weeks before my present status expires. 

Anyway, I am feeling better a bit better now and accepted one egg for dinner :)

Stay healthy and don't let the spring bugs hit you.

Spring Fastrack

Spring cleaning. Spring sickness. Spring Camp. Spring semester. Spring oranization. Spring fever. Spring everything... tied me up so tight tight that I couldn't even upload some pictures or visit blogs. My hectic schedule will just loosen up after this weekend. I am hoping to start a new, more stressfree work season. I am looking forward to a stressfree daily life too but I 'm not sure it'll come exactly at this moment.

My youngest brother is graduating from college tomorrow and I am  really happy for him and my parents. For one one hand I feel sorry that I'm not there  to witness  and support him. He's going to receive 3 medals and he's pretty proud that my parents will have to go up on stage for that. I was supposed to make pictures & videos for his big day. I told him I was gonna go home at the end of January. I was expecting that my residence permit application would be rejected. But they told us at the immigration office to wait for another month. Two months passed and still I haven't  got an answer. I couldn't have gone home because in case the IO calls me in, I  have to report at once. For other hand, I'm also happy that I am still here. It only means that my papers haven't really been rejected (yet maybe). My husband and I wouldn't mind living in the Phils or maybe even somewhere else. But we wanted to live here for sometime. Plus we've spent a lot of money and effort coming here. Making these papers also caused lots of stress and trouble to our families. I want it all justified.  Oh how do I hate "red tape"!

Spring is here and the city is getting warmer and sunnier. Peopke are becoming kinder and more cheerful. I hope that positive vibes start going round and will eventually come to me.

As for now, let us celebrate SPRING ! :)
