Passport Thing

My last post was about My husband and I planning to travel on Holidays. But this time, I’m in the middle of searching for my passport! L… As far as I remember I brought it last week, as my company needs a copy of it as well as my husband’s. I have put it in a leather Skywards passport wallet, My passport, His passport and my little one’s passport... Inside that, I have $200, which was excess money when I went on vacation last September. I am desperately looking for it in my drawer, cabinet, anywhere else!! Hoping to find it at home..

I phoned the Philippine Consulate in Dubai to asked what do I need to get a new passport (If in case I really lost it), they said I have to get a police report from Dubai Police. And these are the procedures I have to go thru before getting that report…

Wishful Thinking

I was desperately looking for a flight for MNL, and wishful thinking I will have a seat on 18Dec and returning 2Jan. But that is totally impossible for Christmas Season I know.
On my surprise, I got a seat on Singapore Airlines, different to my preferred dates, but still… Will suit my winter break at work.. It will cost 4070 AED, pretty much cheaper compare to the 8000 AED on other airlines. I told about this good news to HIM, and he OK’d it.. Then I checked it again, only after an hour or so…. And the seat is GONE!!!!!

My goodness gracious!!! LOL… I have to look for another destination, to spend the holidays…. Will see my little ones on June… L

Holidays

Time seems to be flying so fast that you just realize, its almost December and a New Year is coming in. This year was a good one for me, although there were some hardships happen but I know It's all part of His plans. My eldest daughter and my mum visited me on May, I had a baby on June, and went to Philippines on September to arrange everything for my two kids. That was the hardest part!!! Well, I know that there will come a time that everything will be OK and I will be with my two kids. Anyways, I have to go on with life, and learn to be used to it.

My husband are planning to go out of the country for Christmas. To relax, and unwind..We are choosing to go to Bangkok or Cairo (which ever is cheaper). Hoping to get a flight and discover this place/s.. Hopefully my next post will be my planned itenerary for our winter breakaway...
