Ready As I'll Ever Be

As my Facebook status says, I'm packing for a trip I'm not really excited about. Unlike our past Sydney trips when we went just to see and be with friends, this one's different. But I guess I don't really have a choice. If this is what it takes for our TTC journey to be successful, so be it. I'll be asleep anyway. :)

I'm comforted with the thought that I have a wonderful husband and loving family and friends who pray for my well-being, regardless of their location. As the saying goes, this, too shall pass.

Back In Sydney's Arms...For Now

Current location: Sydney

Sydney Opera House, Australia Day 2009

We are spending the weekend here in Sydney. Yay! We left Tamworth at 7 this morning, arrived at around half past 12. Our first stop was the Filo store in Marrickville to replenish our 'supplies'. Then off we went to the storage. Next destination was Newtown where we ate lunch and I had my eyebrows waxed. Then we checked into our 'home' for the weekend, Formule 1 @ Enfield. We immediately proceeded to DFO in Homebush, where we only had a little over an hour to shop before the stores  closed. Bitin sobra! Hopefully we could go back on Monday if we still have time.

I'm looking forward to BE's 81st anniversary celebration tomorrow. We are having a picnic lunch and I'm sure we'll share not just food but heaps of stories as well. :)

Back here at the hotel room, we're catching up on our favourite TV series, Entourage and White Collar. I love how fast the connection of my wireless internet is here in Sydney. We don't get a good signal in Tamworth so sometimes it takes ages to download one episode, it makes me wanna cry! So I'm taking advantage right now.

It's our third time to go back here since my husband was assigned in Tamworth. Hopefully the next time we do it'll be for good.

Good night!

Back from Hiatus

Hello! I just realized that it's now the 1st of June, coincidentally the start of Winter season here in Australia, and I have not written anything at all the whole May. The whole month went in a blur. We didn't do anything out of ordinary so I had nothing interesting to write about.
 

We are nearing our fourth month here in Tamworth and there's still no word from my husband's employer if/when we can go back to Sydney. I didn't bring any winter clothes here because I thought we would only be here until the second week of June. Boy, was I mistaken! So we've decided to go back to Sydney next weekend to get clothes and supplies from the storage. I will also send the balikbayan box to the Phils. It's not full yet, I still need to buy a few things from Ikea. I can hardly wait! :)

Two Months and Counting

Today marks our second month here in Tamworth. When my husband was told in January that he was being assigned here for three to four months, he wasn't a happy camper. He loves the hustle and bustle of city living that's why we lived near the CBD in Sydney. We talked about it and decided to give Tamworth a go. Two months on, I'd say we've adjusted to life here pretty well. As the saying goes, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade! :) Also, the realization that we're already halfway through our supposed stay here makes me want to weep. Haha.

P.S. I can't wait to go back to Sydney. <3
