lost among the bushes

Remember, remember the 28th of November. It's his and her day today! They just call it Us Day and for the first time, he actually woke up at exactly 5 AM just in time to send her a text message to wake her up. It was usually the other way around even though he promised her he'd wake her every morning for work.

On another note, this Friday is a busy day for both of them. Two days from now, she'll be attending the annual party of her company in the Lion City. She'll be the most gorgeous lady on that night and he would not be around to be there for her. ='( He'd have to rely on pictures to see her wearing a wonderful dress and smile at him as he smiles back secretly. He, on the other hand, would be heading to the Queen City of the South to bid good luck to his brother who's going to take the licensure exam.

He misses her so much right now...

the suspense is a thrill

Six months has passed since the time I can still remember all the things that I have worked hard for four years in college plus half a year for the board exams.

I can't seem to recall nowadays those bits of information which I know are buried deep inside my brain. The fact of the matter is, I want to do what I'm professionally trained to do but not here in our beloved country. My reason and perhaps other nurses' reasons are simple: the whole system's messed up. I'm not just talking about our so called health care system which is almost next to Africa's. It's all about the politics, the economy, the environment and the reason for these factors, us Filipinos. It's amazing how we can be so disciplined and obedient to the laws of another country but so lenient, ignorant and disrespectful of our own laws.

Is it probably because those OFWs are intelligent, well-bred people? Maybe, but not all. Some are stupid and human just like all of us. Is it probably because our laws are flawed in the first place? A resounding "YES!" and it's still because of OUR beloved politicians, who WE blindly vote into office.

Well, enough about my idealistic views. It wouldn't matter here. I'd just let my idealism live in some other part of the world, perhaps that island below Australia. Not even the bastion of democracy(US) is fit for immigrants anymore. But whatever. It doesn't matter where you live your life. It's how you live life itself.

diamonds start as coal

Hello world! This is an experimental post for our first ever joint blog account. I don't know where to start so I'm just randomly thinking of ideas while I'm typing this third sentence. Now I'm on the fourth sentence, yipee! Hopefully this will be an active blog for the months and years to come. Long distances wouldn't hamper our postings. *wink* I have plans to move this to our own domain someday without omitting the "a" in "HersandHis" if you noticed that error in our blogspot address. Sadly, some other pair got to us first. grrr...

Answering your curiosity why the title is "diamonds start as coal"? It's because this blog is still on the beta phase. Someday it'll shine like diamonds. For now, it's still on the works. ^_^ Ok, I'm done. It's your turn to welcome them b..
