Excited and Scared

I paid a visit to the Canadian Embassy here in Manila last August 1. I took a leave from work for one whole day just to get things over and done with.

My visa was not arriving, and I did not receive any email of any sort from the embassy when I sent them a follow-up message a month prior to my visit.

Arriving there at 8AM, I found myself cold, not only from the air condition, but also of nervousness.

They called my name thrice before they gave me a coupon and told me to come back that same afternoon for the results.

I came back that afternoon at the time that they instructed me to (a little early though), and I couldn’t stop smiling until I slept that night.

My visa was accepted and I am Canada bound this September.

The featured image of this post will be the image I will be using for the time being as I haven’t arrived there. It is a shirt that I bought in ZARA a couple of weeks before I went to the embassy. My sister forced me to buy it. LAW OF ATTRACTION, as “The Secret” said. It works. It definitely works. You just have to do something about what you want to attract to yourself, of course. You can’t just stand there and wait for it.

I got the shirt without knowing if I would be accepted or not. I told them I will only start wearing the shirt the moment I get my visa. The time arrived, the shirt was not with me. I left it at home. I wore it 6 days later when I got home. My mom was smiling when she saw me wearing it. It only means one thing for us, I am leaving soon.

Excited for the fact that I am going to a new country and staying there for 1 year, ALONE. Scared, well, the word “ALONE” scared the hell out of me.
