    Everyone deals with challenges in different ways that are dependent upon their belief systems. Some use optimism to get through. Others a subjective type of realism. Others still have a tendency towards pessimism.

    All are valid for the person in question. I personally, and particularly as a Christian, am an optimist. I think Trina is the same.

    My view is that a non-optimistic outlook can not encourage a positive outcome. Creativity and achievement is often stifled by realism and pessimism. Having said that, I do believe that optimism should be tempered by insight. Although not necessarily hindered by it.

    I guess what works for one may not always work for another. Just my thoughts!

    10 weeks and 1 day, that will be this Friday 01.08, I think that will be too late for Vanessa to catch the flight on 8th. Toks, Ahhhh such a pity, her birthday is on 9th. also.

    WISH SHE WAS HERE !!!!

    PS. a single malt helps somewhat, ha ha :-)

    Hey my friend. I'm still wishing the best for Vanessa to get her visa asap. The 8th would have been nice but it's OK. I know how you feel. Pia is still there and I'm here. Sure it's getting closer but everything has been getting closer for over 3 years. Still when we are together it will be the perfect time.

    If I had a car I would come and join you for that single malt. Of course I'd have to stay over and now might not be the safest time for me to do that

    You are both in our prayers; the others waiting also.

    My yet again silly gut feeling is that both our responses will come together this week!!!

    My wife's flight has been booked for the 18th Aug. I'm going to Manila on the 12th.

    Best Wishes!

    Smile Counting down the days

    This one always makes me think of us. Hope I can post:

    Natalie Imbruglia Counting Down The Days
    (C) 2005 Brightside Recordings a division of Blue Sky Music Ltd under exlcusive license to SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT (UK) Limited.


    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_q8GCZVHSbg

    You were right
    And I don't wanna be here
    If you're gonna be there
    Was that supposed to happen?

    I'll hold tight
    I'll remember to smile
    Though it has been a while
    And without you doesn't matter

    There's no room
    No place to start
    When our souls are apart

    I wanna travel through time
    See your surprise
    Hold you so tight
    I'm counting down the days
    Tonight
    I just wanna be
    A million miles away from here
    I'm counting down the days

    How you've been
    It's just the usual here
    And days are feeling like years
    And every day's without you

    Now i cry
    Just a little too much
    when i think of your touch
    And every thing about you

    I feel cold
    I'm in the dark
    When our souls are apart

    I wanna travel through time
    See your surprise
    Hold you so tight
    I'm counting down the days
    Tonight
    I just wanna be
    A million miles away from here

    I wanna travel through time
    See your surprise
    Hold you so tight
    I'm counting down the days
    Tonight
    I just wanna be
    A million miles away from here

    I'm counting down the days
    I'm counting down the days

    I'm counting down the days
    I'm gonna be your surprise
    I'm gonna hold you so tight

    I wanna travel through time
    See your surprise
    I'd hold you so tight
    I'm counting down the days
    Tonight
    I just wanna be
    A million miles away from here

    I wanna travel through time
    See your surprise
    I'd hold you so tight
    I'm counting down the days
    Tonight
    I just wanna be
    A million miles away from here

    A million miles away from here

    I'm going via Singaporeair - the new A380 plane.

    Its Ł540 one way, but its a flexi ticket. That is Ł25 to change or cancel the flight. Valid until 30th Sep.

    Mine is 12th to 18th, at Ł760 (flexi saver). Ł200 to cancel, but can use airmiles to cancel too.

    Both bought directly from singaporeair.com

    Cheers

    Hi Grant, I really hope that the embassy would speed up the processing now that they have relocated and hopefully have more staff and a better system. Its silly to make married couples wait. Even a month is too long.

    Your friend's time of application happened prior to the relocation of the embassy. Maybe that's the reason why it only took one month processing. Most of the couples here who filed their applications on May waited for 10 weeks before they got results. But like benb mentioned, let's hope and pray that the processing will be quicker now that the embassy has already settled in their new location. I'm also waiting for a spouse visa and it's now my 2nd week of waiting (not yet too agonizing but I must agree that it's really hard to wait. hehe!). Let us know once your wife's visa is released.

Girl just relax(i know its hard to do) enjoy pinoy dish, watch your favorite teleserye, browse the store for some warming clothes, learn to cook english food, and most of all spend time with your family and pray...coz girl once u have ur visa, you are going to realize how fast it all happened. Good luck on your application. You'll be together soon, just like me and my hubby...
    yes Trina , sephean is absolutely right, i regret why i didnt left work when i got my Visa coz i didnt even spend time with some of my relatives living not in my city..so just enjoy while ur still there and do the things you think you will miss when your here in UK..

    cheers
