Smiling through. Missing you.

 

 

 

 

Send In the Clowns...

 

 

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines...
No one is there.

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
And where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career.
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns...
Well, maybe next year.

 

It feels good to be home....

Four days free...

Four nights at home...

and am feeling happy and comfortable that I have a nest where I can always return to.

Tempus fugit...

am still waiting for the final decision from the Swiss Immigration Office.

Then I can be (probably) finally back at home soon.... 

For the meantime, enjoy the coldness of Winter and the falling snow!!!


P.S.

Having my mental block, so please bear with me, dear readers.

Augen zu....

Ein Tag geht schnell vorbei -

doch es lohnt sich
einige Minuten
für schöne Dinge und Gedanken

zu nutzen.

Carpe Diem!

A short post...

Work keeps me busy, my calendar is full of training and seminar. After four weeks on my new ward, HNO Surgery and Pulmonology, I got my feedback today. The team where I belong, doctors as well as nurses, expressed their satisfaction having me in their team and their compliments boosted my spirit.

My sister Cora arrived safely in Trece Martirez. She will be staying until December 15 in the Philippines.

I am counting the days until October 25th.  I will be home with H.P.P. 

Feeling better now....

Four weeks passed swiftly.

H.P.P. safely returned from India and am feeling better now knowing he is in a good shape.

In between, I have gained patience and have digested the fact that I have to temporarily leave my new home in Switzerland.

There is a good sign and there is hope that everything will be settled soon. The Swiss Red Cross finally replied to my request.  

I had a long weekend and I was able to regain energy lost the last four weeks. I was with Christa yesterday at the English garden. Walked through the huge park, along the River Isar in Munich.
The English Garden, is said to be the largest city park in Europe, even larger than New York's Central Park. We ate something at the Chinese Tower Biergarten, drank Radler, a mix of  Lemonade and Beer, and we exchanged thoughts on many things.

It was a good talk and a walk with a good friend. 

I stayed in my room today and Mary Jean surprised me with a short visit.

H.P.P., although tired from the long journey, gave me his time and attention. I feel lucky to have heard his voice over the phone.

Goodnight, everyone! Sleep well.

From Szuszi...

Yipeee...

 

Smile, everyone! Happy living!

For Kuya Gerd and Ate Cora

Have a good flight to the Philippines!
Business Class via EK 380er!!!!



 



Quo Vadis?

I will be staying in Munich this weekend. H.P.P. is still in India but coming back home on Sunday.
How I wish to be there when he gets back but I dislike the scenario of leaving him behind on the same day.

My sister Cora is flying to Manila on October 15 to December 15, 2012, and I am wishing her a good flight. Kuya Gerd, her husband is flying to MNL on October 30 to November 27, 2012.

My family in the Philippines will be busy on November 9 to celebrate the First Death Anniversary of Mama Naty. Having missed her funeral last year, I feel dreadful not to be there  but I have not a choice but to stay in Munich for a while.

There is an important reason why I would not come. For sure, Mama Naty will understand that. The daughter I am who is seldom at home when it comes to family gatherings and why should it be changed now?

Have a good Friday, dear readers!

Good day, everyone!

Drifting nowadays.

The waiting is still uncertain.

It is getting cold in Munich. 13 to 16 Degrees Celsius.

Work keeps me busy.

Friends are on holidays.

And....

H.P.P. is in India.

Keep going, everyone.

"I walk the line"

Johnny Cash...

"I Walk The Line"

 

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line



From Sandra and Keith



Keep going...

 

 

Goodluck, everybody!
