I traveled accross my country Philippines about a thousand miles away from tropical islands to the greener pasture “AMERICA”. I felt sad,excited and happy. Sad because I have to leave the place where my life was begun,I have to leave my family,friends,relatives everything. Excited because I am finally settled and finally together my husband to be which is my soulmate,my other half Michael. Happy because I know i will never be alone forever coz I know I have my husband who loves me unconditionally without any expectations of return. Having a family which i can call my own.
When I heard the stewardess to welcome us “San Francisco” and the other passenger mostly Filipino gave a round of applause for the safety trip. As I look down the land of the greener pasture, I told to myself, I was amaze how beautiful,I was amaze of how wonderful world God created, It was all new place for me, I could see the Golden Gate Bridge,with the seagulls flying in the sky, People that enjoying sailing their boats,The TransAmerica Building which is the highest building in San Francisco,all the buildings,and the pacific ocean that sorround the land of San Francisco,Mountains,Valleys,Hills, you could only see a grass mostly in the mountains and valleys,I think its because of the weather. Its so clear the sky that day,no fog,they said San Francisco is the foggy city,most of the time even summer its always cool. I arrived about 8:30 Pm wednesday,May 27,2007. I was surprise that 8:30 pm still daylight, I just figured it out when Michael told me,summer here have longest daytime and wintertime have a shortest daytime. When I landed at the airport, I am excited and a little bit nervous, I dont know why it just happens that i felt nervous,maybe because this is a new country for me. I saw Michael right away, holding a dozens of roses with a big smile on his face haha,Hugging me so tight and kissed me. When we’re outside, My gosh It was sooooo cold for me that time, I mean, no kidding, I am shivering, For me it was very cold. But it was already in the middle of spring,almost summer, for them its really hot but for me,its very cold haha thats the difference. Of course my body not used to it, I came from a tropical place which is hot and humid. Big difference, speaking of the weather. For me America is very clean, No paper or plastic on the street, Plenty of cars but its not polluted,huge buildings. We travel for one hour going home, we live in Marin County,Larkspur and its about 20 minutes from San Francisco accross the Golden Gate Bridge, The bridge that connected from Marin to San Francisco. Lots of wine farm and cow farm in Marin County,expecially Napa,Petaluma,Sonoma and the rest.
Till here muna, Just take a rest!!!
