The themes that will be discussed in this blog are my marriage to my lovely Filipino wife Eva and my physical disability.
You might think that there nothing to special to you there. My wife Eva and I were recently married in the Philippines on May 23. Eve and I have known each other since Feb. 13/09.
I will be doing the paperwork soon as I can and I of course will share all of our ups and downs as we deal with the immigration process here in Canada. Supposedly it will take 3 months to review my sponsorship agreement, then another 9 months to review her right of permanent residence application. My friend Graham was told his sponsorship application will take 6 months to look at, so who knows what will happen for me. Could it be a similar fate?
Other themes will include how I am moving forward now after being sheltered for most of my 42 years. Some of those years I was extremely sheltered. You might wonder now why I was so sheltered. I was born with Cerebral Palsy. While my Cerebral Palsy is extremely mild, the doctors of the '70s told my parents I'd be not much more than a vegetable. Now top that of with supposedly having 70 IQ. I remember purposely answering questions improperly cause I thought they were stupid questions.These events good and bad have molded who I am today and where I'm going.
In recent years I've read books on self-improvement, communication,string and quantum theory.I have put some of this knowledge in action to get myself to this point of creating this blog.Now you have a fairly good idea where I'm starting from, I hope you will join me on this adventure that is my life.

Oh Mike, I'm so proud of you! It will be a wealth of information to know what the immigration process is truly like in Canada. And to top it off, original. I don't think anyone has really spoken up about that.
