Then this morning when I woke up I saw the calendar reminder, pero wala pang email. Iniisip ko, sige okay lang. But during lunchtime, wala pa. I went home galing office cos I was feeling stressed. Iniisip ko kahit CO contact man lang, kasi nakaka-paranoid thinking baka may mali akong naisulat or something. I prayed, prayed, prayed. Asked God to take this burden off my shoulders cos it's too much to take, and that I believe in His perfect timing. Tapos nun I took a nap, cos nasstress ako. When I woke up from my nap, I got the email. I couldn't believe my eyes!
And thanks ulit to everyone, ang saya ng community na 'to - helping each other out at kahit may kanya kanyang anxiety e ready parin to encourage everyone else. Nakatipid pa sa Migration Agent. Haha! So, thank you!
