Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)
The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.

I have just receive an email from IDP today that I am advise to take the Medical Examination in 5 days from now. I choose St. Luke's Extension Clinic because it is nearer from where I am currently living. I tried to start my application and started to fill in the Online Registration at their website (http://www.slec.ph/) and then when the copy of the form arrived through my email it stated "PERMANENT" in the portion for the length of study, given that I have indicated that my stay would be only be TEMPORARY. I tried to fill in the form again but the same problem occurred. Would I be possible that I will just erase it and rewrite/reprint on the printed form?
I need advice if someone had similar situation.
Thank you.
