dustbusters, going & leaving

It's not really normal to ask your friends to help you clean your new house before you even move in but cleaning was like a good excuse to show them how to get there & have a tiny girl's night out. So to Hazel & Cathy, my big heartfelt gratitude for helping me make our new home smelling Javel clean. Hazel's scrumptious crispy pata, complete with its rightful sauce, gave us all the power to rupture all of our gloves from all the scrubbing.

Thanks so much, girls!

Asking them to come over our new home likewise reconfirmed me how nice our new place is. We haven't even moved in yet but bumping into the locals have already showed me how warm & friendly they are. I've never liked change but I am always given the opportunity to learn to accept it. Going & leaving is always sad but the people & places will continually be a part of our big panorama of life.

Will then be next posting from our new home, by the window with the view of the sea from afar. There's again so much getting used to. It's just a matter of getting used to.

Makis

From Manila to Paris, then to Marseille & to the Côte d'Azur, now in Singapore, clinging to a map of three worlds, where everything becomes all relative.

  3. i hope the move won't be too stressful --- physically and psychologically:)... "change" seems to always put us in limbo... but as you've said "it's just a matter of getting used to" :)...
