Last December, I told you all about my preparation to complete the necessary forms to apply for British citizenship. Yesterday, I was informed that my application has been approved! Yeay! The application was presented to the Home Office about 2 months ago by the lawyers and now I am simply waiting for the confirmation and the date of my ceremonies. I was told that I also have to sing the national anthem, God Save The Queen. Hmm… Google time!

Anyway, I am of course retaining my Filipino citizenship. Making me a dual citizen, which is accepted both here in Britain and in the Philippines. Just need to check with the Philippine embassy here to see if there is anything I need to do.

After hearing the good news, I felt this sense of freedom. Now, I could go on a day trip to Lille, in France, jump on the early Eurostar train at Waterloo and take the last train back. But when a friend asked where would I go first, I replied, “Spain.” Vamonos, Espana! Estare ahi pronto.
