Big change

Just a few days ago, I found out that the processing of our permanent residency papers was completed. This means that in a few short months, the family will start a new life.

The biggest change I ever had to go through was the transition between high school and college. So just imagine what I'm feeling right now. The secondary-tertiary educational transition does not even come close to the change brought about by immigration. Just the idea of starting anew scares me to death. But I guess sometimes the line between what is comfortable and being in a rot seems to blur and once in a while change simply redraws the line. Adapting to a new ecosystem requires massive amount of work but, as human beings, we are born lazy. Once the sleep-eat-burp-poop baby cycle just becomes the sleep-eat-burp-stare-at-watch-until-5-pm-poop working man cycle.

What I'm trying to say is that change is inevitable. Law of averages dictates that the years of me living in my tiny, familiar bubble will be followed by a big change. Yup, and that change pop my bubble and kicked me in the ass so hard I was instantly transported to a country with 4 seasons. It may suck but at least it makes life a little more exciting/unpredictable.

PS: I recently serviced my Acer TM 6292. I spilled water on the keyboard and all of its keys stopped working. The replacement keyboard for the model cost Php 1040.00, about 4 times the cost an external USB keyboard.
