Another Journey

I am still awaiting my visa. I am looking forward to going home and be with my family before I spend the next two years in another country. I feel like I need to be doing something different. Another country, another job, different people, different life. I wonder what awaits me. I just wish that my life will change with this time. I know that wherever I will be, I am always guided and Someone from up there watches over me.  

Trying to have a Green Thumb

It is the first day of Chinese New Year and I have heard that its good to get a plant as it symbolizes new life. We went to the wet market and made my dad buy my mom a long-lasting Valentines gift of this plant with white flowers. At least this one I'm sure my mom is crazy about and it wont just wither in matter of days just like the bouquet of flowers most ladies get on V Day. I talked my way so we went back just to get this special plant. And I got myself this dwarf Pandakaki. The leaves are so green and it bears little white flowers so that got me so excited as well. When we arrived home, the first thing I did was to get the gloves and made my way to the garden. I transferred my little Pandakaki plant in this small red pot so it will look like an indoor plant. I also replanted these herbs and moved them in a shady area. This is the first time I have shown interest in greens in a very long while. I just truly hope they won't die in matter of days (I have checked and they are very much alive!) Thank Heavens! I am so proud of myself for having these plants live, just like my small fishes who has gotten the first month already. If I hadn't spent long time at home such as this I would never know the simple joys of having a pet and planting. You don't need to have green thumb or an expert to make organisms live. You just have to shower them with love. So they will know that there is someone who's taking care of them. And they will grow better. Something concerns me though, I will be leaving in a few days and I hope Mama will continue to take care of them. The fishes I doubt that the water will be changed everyday as I do since Mama is so busy but at least I won't have to see them die ;( As for my Pandakaki, I'm pretty sure she'll have a long and healthy life. I really pray that this year will bring me success in work and happiness. I am quite scared in upcoming days as I will be leaving my comfort zone but I am also looking forward as to what this new year will bring! ;)
