It is what it is...

The second challenge for the US visa confirmed that my life in Seattle is to no longer exist. This ended my life in the US for over 17 years.

Now, I'm going to have to make a fresh start, literally.

I'm appalled and confused by the immigration system in the US, but please don't get me started.

It is what it is, and what I can do is to make the best out of the situation. 2008 will be a great year no matter where I end up, and that's what I'm gonna do.

I'm grateful for people that I had an opportunity to meet. I appreciate the support and encouragement that I received in the past year.

I miss everyone in the US (mostly in Seattle), and I really hope I get to go to Seattle in one way or the other...
