until we fly out of NZ. it's getting really close! chomie's flight was this morning, i think, and will arrive in winnipeg in two days' time. we've had a hiccup with our apartment application in winnipeg and it seems like the suites are getting snapped up really quickly. this apartment is our first choice because our friend (and her family) also ( Read more... )

our last night at our flat and it feels a bit weird to sleep on the floor. we'll leave this place tomorrow and will stay with a friend. will also drop chomie off at the pet relocation company tomorrow afternoon. also getting a hair cut, which is timely, since my hair is getting harder to manage ( Read more... )

packing has gone good, we've bought three boxes to ship our crap stuff to the Philippines since we either couldn't sell them off or just felt it would be a waste of money if we just left or donated them here. the house is pretty bare now and we're living without a fridge at the moment and it feels so weird! i'm still eating as healthy as i possibly ( Read more... )

Quick background- growing up I never really restricted food on a large level or formally dieted. Mum was also not concerned ( Read more... )

and i'm going to be free as a bird! oh yeah! can't wait to start our new life in Winnipeg! :)

Our final week at work! I'm so excited! It now all feels so real! I can't wait to take a break for seven weeks before starting our new life again! I do feel like we did make the right decision of uprooting ourselves and starting over in Winnipeg. I guess one of the upsides is we get to visit a new country and explore it together. So this week is ( Read more... )

damn, where did the year go? i know right?! it was around the same time last year when i wrote my last post. i can't believe i've left this journal to rot for a long time. i don't know; at times when my life isn't going the way i want it to go, i kind of leave blogging fall by the wayside when i know i shouldn't, because this is the best place for ( Read more... )
