Today is my one year in France. How could I ever forget the day I flew here, It was a mixed emotion of sadness that I left home and excitement to explore my new life,
Nung umalis ako halos pigilan kong wag umiyak, Ay sus! as in I never cried, Until suddenly during my boarding time, I had this notebook in my hand carry, while reading it napansin ko nalang na basta na ko naiiyak, I am so lucky to be love by everybody. Halos kumpleto ang tropa nung hinatid nila ako. Even my family stayed awake hangang makaalis ako.
In fact, the reason that I choose the first flight (early morning at 4am) para madaling magpaalam. Haiz, excited kasi rin ako isa pa un. Kasi first time to fly alone. Eto na pagupo ko sa aking sit, Ang katabi ko walang ginawa kundi umiyak, Ayun di sinabayan ko narin sabay takip ng kumot, sakit sa ulo.

The time I arrived in the airport of Paris, OMGosh! wala bang friendly signs here, all in French! Ayun kinabahan na ko... Pero ok lang sunod lang ako ng sunod sa mga kasabay ko sa eroplano. Until I just noticed I was in the gate and I saw my husband. Wahooo....!
My first 2days was really memorable. I thought I can explore Paris. but no! I said to Florent its early there's still sun, Florent said no, its 9pm already, What.. ? So we just went to the hotel I took a shower and looked for a restaurant to eat. Sinong my sabing my jetlog ako, Wala ako nun, excited nga ako gumala. But sad to say all establishment is close by 8pm there. So what we did around 11pm natulog nalang kami, then We need to wake up at 4am to get ready because our train going to besancon was scheduled by 6am. So I was in a hurry. June 15- we arrived in Besançon at around 8:45am. This was the worst part Florent have work at around 9am. Imagine he just entrusted me to his Parents they don't even speak English. I went home with his parents without him. That was really hard my First and second day was already a survival challenge.
Nahirapan akong magadjust sobra sa culture and time. ang bilis kong na homesick I miss my busy running and overlapping sched sanay ako kasi dun. Until 3months dun palang nakapag leave si Florent. Saktong summer ang dating ko kaya madami kaming narating ni florent at activities na nagawa.
Then balik ulet work si florent, so bahay let ako.. An independent lady like me di sanay ng nasa bahay lang hahaha. After 4months of waiting, I started attending my French lesson. Halos araw araw my advil akong dala, ang hirap ang hirap I kept on saying I wanna go home I felt so stupid and ignorant sa lahat ng bagay. Sige tiis lang kaya yan!
First time where I celebrated my 27th birthday here, the 10.10.10 History! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwmbEqirrzk
Unti unti na kong naka adjust when I met some people. I am just lucky my in laws love me much! I started meeting church friends, collègues, pinay's and Now, learned my basic french.
When I experienced autumn season (first time ulit) it was so beautiful. Kaso, ulan naman ng ulan kaya iyak din ako ng iyak hahaha!
Florent's birthday first time we celebrated it together .
Ang aga ng snow season last year, My first time also to see snow, Masaya as in parang bata lang. But the sudden change of climate didn't help me trough. Lagi akong nasa doctor even my skin is so terrible. Grrr!
My First christmas here was also memorable. Lalong di ko makakalimutan ang new year! My new year was so sad, Super tahimik, florent was working, No fireworks, No friends and no Family. Ang lungkot ko talaga nun. Even if, I still tried to enjoy ganun naman talaga yata.
Until now I am still battling with the work schedule of Florent, He worked at night and Sometimes, in the dayI need to attend some of my activities , Sabi ko nga sa kanya "Seems I am not married" I Usually sleep alone at night. Thats why we see to it everytime His off we find time for each other. We do monthly date, and weekly bonding.
January 2011 there are many oppurtunity came along my way. I joined the CCAS association. That helped me alot to explore new things here in Besancon. They are the one who's assisting me in some of my need (by finding a job training and all...)
February 2011- Our first wedding anniversary. In a town called little venice.
March is when I finished my first level of French class. Now, Yes I speak little French lol. Bonjour!
