april 22 is a BAD DAY

i just realized that it's been a year already since we left the cold city of winnipeg. it was my saddest day in canada, one of the lowest times in my life. something i won't forget, something that makes me stronger everytime. as far as i could remember, the temperature then was just 1 or 2 degrees celcius, and it's still snowing!! compare that the almost summer-like 24 degrees we are experiencing today.

nel's mom got denied today for a canadian tourist visa. the ground? they doubt that she ain't gonna come back. what the f*ck? actually, we're planning to extend her stay as long as we could if ever she got approved ;) but hell, we have no plan on making her stay here illegally. we can sponsor her soon anyway. sorry, just wanna vent. she's gonna try to re-apply with more proof that she ain't gonna go illegal, hopefully she'll be approved this time. processing fee is no joke, we spent 150 dollars for them to look at the application for 5 minutes(?) then rejected it, darn reviewers! and yeah, we are that desperate for her to be here this summer!!

i am officially marking april 22 as a BAD DAY for me.
