Nickelback's Far Away

"Far Away"

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go



Acquaintances...

Yesterday was full of memories to remember.

I met H.P.P.'s closest relatives and I felt honored and privileged to get personally acquainted with them.

The winding roads from Hof to Coburg fascinated me. Evergreen trees called Fichte, which grows up to 60 meters, cover the mountains and the areas along the highways and they are just fascinating.

 

It was a weekend to remember.

A repeat should be.

A moment like this...

Back to the trails...

 

Sitting inside an Eurocity Train from Winterthur to Munich and listening to the songs of Dire Straits,

I tried not to think of the not-so-good things that happened the last two weeks. 

 

And whispering to myself:

 

"Do not look back. Just turn your back from the mishaps. Just remember the good things that happened and are happening. The rest is only a matter of time. Everything will be settled soon."

 

Indeed, life is a journey and I am in the midst of trying to reach my ultimate destination. What comforts me a bit is that I found my home already and I know where I belong to. I have my rotating axis where I feel comforted, loved and cared. 

 

Let me thank H.P.P. for standing by me. 

 

Have a good Sunday everyone and enjoy the moments.

Going through the hurdles...

 

H.P.P.'s gift from India

Smiling again!!

 

Turbulences of the past two weeks are getting smoother and to sum it all:

 

Love exists and remains.

 

For the first time in my life that I feel guarded, comforted and is being saved from another mishap. H.P.P. took a day off yesterday to attend to bureaucracy concerning my visum to Switzerland.

Temporarily, I will be working again in Munich while waiting for the decision of the Migration Office in Frauenfeld.

 

I shed a lot of tears last week and I must admit I was a bit of emotionally lost.

H.P.P. stands by me and am very, very thankful he does!     

The Nice Son

Last weekend, Fabian, the only son of H.P.P., visited us in Switzerland, and I felt privileged to have met this energetic and friendly young man, who has just finished his Biology Studies in Germany. He is about to travel to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, the same trip I wish to experience sometime next year with Christa.

We travelled back to Munich together and I appreciated his company because it was heartbreaking for me to leave H.P.P. behind alone at home.

What the future may bring worries me a bit. Finally, I have found my home and then suddenly, I would have to leave due to reasons out of my control.

Finding my balance nowadays is not easy but moments shared this weekend with H.P.P. and his nice son gave me some sort of energy to keep going.

Fifty - Fifty

Yesterday, I "brought home the bacon" by getting a work contract, but honestly, I was confronted with the thoughts of being away from home. It would mean a lot of train miles again to and forth Switzerland.

I grabbed the opportunity for time is running away from me and I have to get a job or else I would lose my working visum in Germany. The Swiss Red Cross is taking time to recognize my Nursing Diploma, and there is no other choice but to go back to Munich again.

On the other side, it would be a test of time for H.P.P. and me. Distance should not be a problem at all.

Hopefully....

Always be...

 

Hoping for the best....

Sitting on a bench in the midst of huge trees and moments of tranquility inside Martha Maria Krankenhaus Complex in Munich, Germany, am retrospecting and examining my thoughts and actions nowadays.

Caught in between conflicts and doubts, I have to rearrange priorities and this could mean sacrificing
other important things just to stabilize my working situation in Germany.

If there are other ways and choices, I would prefer to be with H.P.P, bit when circumstances do not allow to, the rest should be another test of time. Can love prevail?

Let us keep our fingers crossed....

The Smile Has It

Having digested the not-so-good news last week concerning bureaucracy in Switzerland (and to my mind: why should it be different from Germany? For sure, there are lots of laws and rules to follow!),
I have to face challenges of time and I should be brave facing all the consequences of my past actions. I needed to return to "good, old Germany" on Thursday to change my residence (again!!!)

I was full of self-pity along the way to Munich and I was asking: "Do I deserve these things happening to me?"

With the help of H.P.P., Christa, Mary Jean and Michelle,Mara and Günter, Kuya Gerd and Ate Cora, and not to forget Frau P. Ludstock of MRI, I was able to gain inspiration again, to keep going.

As I returned from Munich back to Switzerland, H.P.P. is already waiting for me at the train station and from that moment on, seeing his welcoming and loving smile, I thought:

I deserve all these things that are happening to me. 

Happy Birthday, Regine!

 

May all your dreams and wishes come true!

Happy Birthday, Mary Jean!



 

Thank you for your friendship, Mary Jean!

 

Mary Jean, a very dear and supportive Filipina friend of mine, is having her birthday today.

I was not supposed in Munich this time around but situations allowed me to be with her, Christa, Anna Michelle and Manfred. That is the happy side of the story - being with friends who help divert my thoughts and attention on some other things.

The Swiss Red Cross is taking time to acknowledge my Nursing Education in Germany and I have to unwillingly pause for work for lack of the needed requirements.

Patient is needed. This time around, I need the utmost support and care of H.P.P.

Another test of time but things should be done. Bravely, I should stand!
