A few weeks ago, I had a dream that we were living in a house floating above the clouds. It’s probably because we’ve just rewatched “Oblivion”, that Tom Cruise movie from 2013. I know, its so futuristic but the photo (above) is very similar to the house in my dream.
It was a fine, clear day. Everyone was at home — yes, even my parents were there. We were having the usual family banter, probably talking about religion or something that warrants a debate. Everyone was busy talking while B was just playing within view. We were so engrossed with our discussion that none noticed that B started walking towards the ledge.
From the corner of my eye, I saw that she was already climbing up the rails. I stood up and tried to be calm so I won’t startle her but I know it’s already too late. She would fall and I’m still a few feet away. By the time I got to the rails, she was already free falling. It was like watching somebody fall without parachute. Scratch that, it was exactly watching somebody fall without parachute and nobody could do anything!
As I watch my only child fall, I reached out my hand and shouted, “hold on, Blakey!!” … but deep inside me I know that I won’t see her ever again. Huge waves of pain engulfed me. My heart felt as if it was being squeezed and yet I can’t stop looking at my first born falling quickly to her death. As if her seeing me looking at her would at least give her courage and know that its going to be ok.
But it’s not ok. My baby is gone.
Good thing it was just a dream. I woke up still in pain. I felt so helpless. I held on to B a little tighter and went back to sleep.

A friend of mine said that the dream doesn’t really mean that something bad will happen to B. Usually, in dreams, falling is related to anxiety. That you are losing control of things and that your subconscious is telling you to reasses. It’s like you’re taking a leap of faith but you know you shouldn’t. That you should plan more. Or something like that.
There are things in our life right now that needs to be addressed and yes, I am taking a leap of faith. But, I still have time to plan. Hopefully when the time comes, we don’t end up just falling.
I guess its time to focus on my “screw you” fund more closely.
Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!
I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.
Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.
Hello sir alvin, pwede po ba magrenew ng passport dito sa Dubai and naka visit visa?
Pwede pero kailangan masiguro mo na nandito ka pa or valid pa ang visit visa mo within 4 to 6 weeks after ng appointment mo kung dito mo kukunin yung passport.
Have a good day po, nag resign na po ako sa dati kong trabho at may bago na kong naaplyan tanong ko lang po kung pwede po ba mag extend ng passport, maeexpired po ang passport ko ng June 27, 2018, actually may schedule na po ako ng appointment for renewal on April 25, 2018. Since the validity of passport should be 6 months po need ko po sana extend ng more months bale po meron na kong bagong trabaho at meron na kong job offer nung April 8 pa, inaasikaso na po nila bago kong employment visa, kaya lang maeexpired n nga po on June 27, 2018. Ano po pwede kong gawin para maextend ako ng Consulate? Need ko na po agad kasi hanggang April 29 na lang natitira kong visa expiration, kaya need na po nila iprocess agad yung new Employment Visa ko. Salamat po sa kasagutan.
Sa pag kaka alam ko po 3 month lang required validity ng passport para sa visa renewal. Pero kung insist po na 6 months, maari kayo mag request ng kasulatan sa company na papasukan nyo para maipakita nyo sa consulate para sa extension.

You have to make adjustments to you spouses travel plan. Validity extension can be done in one day visa application can be done in 2 weeks or less.
