OH JOY!!!!
I just got an email this morning that I have been granted a 50% scholarship for a one-year Masters program I applied for in the UK.
Gasp! Can't believe this is happening!
When I first thought of going back to school for further studies, it seemed like an appealing dream but not really something that I thought would actually happen--I know, weird weird.
Anyway, when my colleagues and friends asked me about the application, I wasn't really all that excited, or even positive that I would get the scholarship.
To be honest, I wouldn't have minded if I didn't get the scholarship--because that would mean another major move for me (I have moved a minimum of 6 times in 6 years) and the Gypsy also knows to get (sick and) tired.
But obviously, God thinks laziness would be an unbelievably poor excuse for not granting this UK schooling.
Now that I got the news (a month earlier than promised), I am beside myself.
How does blogging from the UK sound? WheeeeeeEEEEeee!

Living a gypsy's life means saying hello a lot and saying goodbye just as often: to friends, places, things, experiences, circumstances. A gypsy has no place to call home but this place could be a haven for ideas to brew, for dreams to take flight, for blessings to flow, and for the uniqueness of life to be celebrated.
About Me
- Gypsy
- Chinese but not really. Filipino but not exactly. Singaporean? Nope, but I can speak like one and get away with it! Westerner? Obviously not, but I do lean towards some of their way of thinking. Am a fusion of different cultures, something that caused quite an identity crisis a few years back. Now am happy to be uniquely and wonderfully created by my Heavenly Father.
Stuff I am Lovin' At the Moment

Hello Miss
I really love your coffee article!!! so saraap basahin. walang stir. inggit tuloy ako sa yo. bakit galing mo magsulat? Tutula na lang ako pero ikaw ang aking best creative non-fiction writer. Di ko alam kung pano dadating sa iyo ito. Pero kakulangan sa Youth Bible kung wala kang mabibigay sa akin na tatlong articles for the youth Bible. Ito'y ang punto ay mapabasa nang mas lalo pa yung mga makakahawak ng Bible kasi sa Bible ilalagay yung mga articles. naku day, kapag di ka nagsulat don iiyak ako. walang stir. Kaya sana makasali ka dito. Tatlo lang naman, isang slice of life, isang devotional at isang opinionated informal essay. Your voice, I'd like to hear that voice in this anthology. Di na tayo nakapagsine. kaya lang nakupooo punta ka ng UK? Pano naman ang ligaw kong ito? But well, dear, God really loves you. So Go! (E malay mo maisingit mo pa rin)Ganda mo talaga.

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the encouragement-- I truly need it! As in! Especially now when I am so overwhelmed by the amount of requirements I need to come up with for the student visa application!! Yikes.
Joph, got your email--will see! Thanks for your kind words but the coffee post was just something I stumbled across online so its not really my writing..:)
Congrats Gypsy! :D
Wow! Congrats for the scholarship ... at sa UK pa. Say hi to the Queen and to Charlie and Camilla for me. And yes, keep on blogging from the land of Shakespeare and Shelley and the Beatles. Manuod ka ng plays ha and go to the British Museum.
Wow! Congrats!
Jojie! Galing! I am so happy for you! :) I almost missed this. Grabe, I'm gonna miss you the whole year you're away but I'm not thinking about that yet. I'm just ecstatic over your new blessing from the Lord. Let's meet up when I return. :)
Thanks friends! Please pray for the paper chase--grabe ka hirap!
Beng, of course, see you when you come back! Lots of catching up am sure! :)
Wow, you must be really good! Is this Chevening? So the Gypsy goes to England! Good luck and more power to you!
Hi Gypsy! Got here through verns!
Congratulations! Good Luck on your new adventure! :)
