Resignation Day

Well, this was not exactly how I had planned it. But having been pushed into a corner, there was no choice left. The choice was obvious - I had to choose you and Mommy over an uncertain future in an unknown land in an unknown career. And I guess it is now time to move on.

We refer to Susan Miller of the astrologyzone.com in uncertain times - not to follow her bizarre advices in totality but just to find some solace in her words that have promise towards the future. So as she said - there would be an event that would shake us out of inertia. I guess this is it.

Five long years with Partnership have been good. But like I said - this is it.

The missed visit of Grannanay

Outrageous! Your mom & I are too frustrated with the bizarre procedures and policies of the Philippines government. Seems like instead of taking care of their people, they are there to just make life generally difficult and rip off the already poor populace.

Nanay was supposed to be here today, but yesterday as she got to the airport, we all found out that we were supposed to have authenticated her visa with the Philippines consulate here and arranged an affidavit for support. Without that she wasn't allowed to board the plane. This is a completely new and unnecessary procedural requirement that hasn't been advertised or communicated to the filipinos living here. You find out when you have spent a fortune trying to arrange everything else. What a waste!

Good that I have decided not to go on with the plan for Saudi, or else you and Mommy would have been left in lurch. So it is only the money & time and the efforts wasted. And above all, we've got no where to complain.

The big decision.

So it's decided. I've decided to be by your side as much as I can and not leave you and Mommy alone in any circumstances more than necessary. I will go and inform my bosses today, and tell them that it is not gonna work out.

I am pleased with myself and very relieved. All the stress that was caused by the worrisome situation of us relocating to Saudi, and me leaving you both behind to set up has just melted away into nothing. I can feel relaxed in body, mind and soul. It must be the right decision.

I know it is.

Were supposed to be resting this weekend...

You can cut the tension in the house with a knife. It hangs around the house generally. Even though Mommy and I are not speaking about it, the thought of me going away and leaving you guys behind is just unbearable.

Don't know what to do...
