Sleepy...Not
i am sitting here at 1:28am, not feeling ready for sleep.
WOW! it's been a long time since the last time I have visited you. 'know i lost the interest in writing because of several relevant events in my life. Totally complicated that i don't even know when and whom to turn to... but atleast i can say that i am over it...(that's how i believe)
It was such a long and thrilling journey of my life since i am living here in the US. Yes, coz i am married now living with my wonderful husband...i am.
Now, i have experienced another stage of life's journey which i never thought that it's as big as this. Living with someone-my husband.
All along when i was still dreaming of being abroad, it was all about money. I mean to have a job or spend my days at another country with my friends or family. I always dreamed of that...But you'll see the difference. Now i am married, though my husband is just so supportive as to whatever I would want to do, it's gonna be different. When i was planning of working abroad/applying for work abroad (coz i never planned to be married at this age), i used to see myself as an earner and thrifting money for my other plans. I wanna travel and visit nice places in my own country/abroad....with close friends. with family...with someone that i know i would really enjoy spending time with. that's all in my mind....actually i never planned yet for getting married or anything that has to do with having my own family until i get done with all of these priorities. Somehow i realized once that i wanna have a child. But of course i adore every happy family..i belong to a happy family, a poor(financially) happy family. As i grew up i learned to live my life and work for it to achieve happiness and fulfill every detail of how i want my life to be. That's how i think....work, enjoy, family, happiness. 'Guess they were just in the same level of doin'. Fulfilling my dreams and my goal!
