Last day before going to Eden!
its already 1 in the morning… i haven’t packed my things yet. This is probably my busiest time before camp… and i dont think i can go through with my tradition of not sleeping the night before leaving for camp… coz lately i’ve been soo tired and i’ve been lacking sleep these past days!
anyway, finally, the visa interview is already out of the way, sabbath dinner preparation, DUB (i made unLB for services and baked last minute apple pie at home.. no leavening..
), special music performance are done and now i just finished sewing all the banners/dorm flags, did some web projects, last minute shopping and laundry.
the day after tomorrow is the start of more than a month activity…
1st week — Staff training… April 19-May 2
2nd week — Camp Proper… May 4-11
Leaving for the US right after camp… May 13
3rd Week — US (Ohio)… May 15-20
4th Week — Wisconsin … May 20 - 27
5th Week — Colorado and maybe Texas… May 27-June 3
… Home… jetlag.. 
Feast of Pentecost… June 8
yea.. God willing, those are the plans…
oh well, i dont know when i can update the next time but we’ll see… i’ll try my best to keep you posted.
gotta go… i might fall asleep on the computer…
~goodnight!

Starting out with a prayer… i silently said…
“God, You already planned out this day for us…
You already know what’s ahead…
May Your will be done…”
We had an early morning flight so i woke up early… But we got to the airport 30 mins before our flight and found that there were only 2 seats available… (which means, i would be left behind… oh nooo..
) and the next flight will still be at 12:30nn… (too late…) so, dad rushed to the other airline counter in case he might get another flight for me but found that there were even more chance passengers in the line… meanwhile, while dad was out there, (already close to 10 minutes before departure) the lady from our counter suddenly asked for dad, coz she was able to avail another seat for me… It was all in God’s hands. So, we were the last ones to get on the plane…
Arriving manila at about 9:30, we waited for an hour and a half for us to be fetched. Had lunch at their office… (it was also Gracielle’s birthday
)… at 12nn we went to the embassy, did those routine… falling in line… (a loooooong line…) getting our priority number, fingerprint scanning… i didnt feel any nervousness that time… and then, the interview… while waiting for our number to be called, i was listening to the people who were being interviewed and their questions (it was loud enough that i can hear it if i paid attention to it)… some were denied and some were approved… I still didn’t feel anything.
When our number was called, the three of us got to the window, and the interviewer started asking questions… then dad showed him all their previous passports/visas… (which were dozens of ‘em. hehe
) and our letters of invitation, and he threw a couple more questions… then, it was just plain silence… he kept looking at his computer, typing something, looking at my application… back to his computer, writing something on my app paper, (it was more of mine that he paid attention to)… but he also wrote the same to dad and moms app papers… at that time, i left it all up to God’s hands… i was prepared either way… But what got me teary-eyed was when he said… “Okay, you’re all set… please proceed to the pavillion area… etc etc.” I couldn’t thank God enough… I was really happy inside and i didn’t really expect that this would happen. Thank you also a whole LOT for all your support and prayers…
God surely blessed our way… and as what i had mentioned…
“He already planned out that day for us…
He already knew what was ahead…
His will was done…”
~have a meaningful last DUB…
