story about my passport

so, Fer picked up lunch, I guess this week we'll be eating lunch while driving around and running around to gather everything needed. Today's lunch was chicken sub. Hysterically, we both have mobiles and we almost only use them to make calls. Yadda yadda, Fer always is reminding me his mobile is way better than mine, but still, he didn't write the requirements for a new passport, and as such, I forgot them and when we got there, I was missing my birth certificate, ba-hum.

I had to file a complaint and then run to get some copies of my papers, etc.

After French, we decided to do a final rundown on the requirements for the application. They are a LOT of requirements, some well most I have them, but scathered around my room, car, etc. It's like a scavenger's hunt hehe

I wrote my canadian ex-boss for a more recent letter of reference, to enclose with my application, hopefully it will arrive soon. I need to ask for more letters, and get some copies of some stuff, I'm soooooooooooo tired, but next week we'll sleep and rest and have fun, holidays are home, baby! :)

so let's see how tomorrow turns out, I promise to take some pictures, at least with my cellphone...

introduction and initial message

hi all... and by all I guess it will only be Fer. Well, anyhoo, I'm Aldo...This blog was started by me, but I guess eventually, Fer will start to write as well, haven't figured it out. Well I'm 28 yo, almost MBA-grad, just three subjects to go! woohoo! and Fer is my boyfriend, he's 23 yo.
We're going to embark on the process of becoming Canadian residents. First, me, then him. So I guess this will be like a journal of sorts, documenting our canadian-trek experience and much more, I'm being flexible here, so bear with me.
We're from Mexico and we've been together for 2 years, 2 months and 10 days, 47 mins (@time I was writing), haha yes, that's me, I'm organized, or at least try to be so...Fer is more of a free-spirit, mostly. And together we're complements, sometimes I'm black when he's white, you know the drill. I'm more open to some things, he's open to other. I'm more conservative in clothing, he's unique and individual. I love him..a lot! I sometimes see us as the equivalent of a fairy tale brought to life, only much gayer and with less songs, though sometimes we burst into songs (very true!) but we never get helped by animals... hehe, well it's getting late, so I'll try and briefly say where we are and my schedule for the week:
-I've got most of the stuff I want to send with my application, just haven't taken the photocopies so I'll try and do that tomorrow, also I have to go deliver the photos and pay for my new passport.
-Tuesday, I'll meet with a friend to go over my papers
-hopefully, by the end of the week, my application will be dhl-ed and in about 8-10 months we'll be hearing from them :)

wish us luck!

g'night
