Off we go...
Waiting for our flight out at the oakland airport. Next stop, atlanta, to meet with a dear friend for breakfast. (Uy,jetsetter ang dating!
Start spreading the news...
We're leaving today! :0)
Got the mobile blogging up and running so that I can send 'postcards' here while I'm in NY.
(Would have wanted the mobile blog to be a sideblog thingy but I don't have time to figure that one out. Maybe later.)
Anyway, we'll be off at 10.30 tonight, and after a sidetrip to Atlanta to have breakfast with Tessa (yippee!), we'll be in NY by lunch tom.
So yeah... start spreading the news...

Happy New Year!
Let me start 2006 with my 100th post and a walk (more like a hop, skip and a jump) down 2005's memory lane...
I was a new wife who had to see her husband off at the airport after just a week of married bliss. I braved the uncertainty, frustration and long lines of the US visa application process. I managed to pack 27 years worth of memories not to mention books, shoes, and clothes into 3 boxes and a suitcase. I travelled thousands of miles, leaving my family, friends and everything familiar and comfortable, to be with the man I chose to spend the rest of my life with. I battled homesickness and the strangeness of a new home, a new country and a new culture, while discovering the intricacies of doing the laundry, washing dishes, vacuuming the carpet and cooking. I spent my weekdays with HGTV, Lifetime and Friendster; my weekends discovering everything that the Bay area and Northern California has to offer. I was blown away by Wicked, awed by Zumanity, enthralled by the fountains of the Bellagio, disappointed by LA, calmed by Laguna Beach and discovered that, for the time being, San Francisco owns my heart. I was annoyed, irritated, frustrated, and angered by my husband but each and every day strengthens the fact that marrying him was and still is, the best decision I've ever made. I started a new job while hoping to be given the go signal to start my career. I've made new friends, weeded out old friends and kept in touch with those I intend to keep. I've come to grips with my homesickness and have settled in. My husband gave me a car and I'm trying my best to learn how to drive it.
And that brings me full circle.
Whew.
I will always remember 2005 as the first year of the rest of my life :0)
