Check out Section 7.1 of the Manila Embassy K1 Visa Guide.

I was more looking for personal accounts of the last few frantic days of preparing. I already know the stuff I want to do. I thought that as a community, people might like to share their experiences, especially the humorous ones.

Oh...

LOL, si Sheriff talaga

[jom 4]

1. Rice cooker and stock of rice

2. Goodies from the Asian store

3. Cleaned the house

4. Filled up the tank with propane so she could swim even at winter

5. Bought new pillows and bed sheets with solid colors, per her instructions

6. Bought her a laptop and cellphone

7. I like Crest but she only uses Colgate so have to change , lol

8. Yes, have to buy a tabo ( I bought her a large plastic cup ) not for bathing though but for other purposes in the bathroom , lol. Don't ask. I found this fascinating . I learned a lot from her when it comes to personal hygiene. . the filipino way, lol.

9. She has a complete collection of books from Tom Clancy, John Grisham , Sidney Sheildon and Robert Ludlum which she wanted to bring but I didn't want her to deal with excess baggage so I ordered all of them at amazon and were at our mini library when she arrived. .she cried and just hugged me tight when she saw them. .

10. Bought her dozens of Nagaraya ( Garlic flavor) . .she said she can't live without them. Good the Filipino stores here have them. I like them too.

11. Painted our bedroom with the color she wanted. It was a surprise and boy the look on her face when she saw it was worth it.

12. Roses to give her at the airport but darn, I forgot them due to my excitement. She had them anyway when we reached my brother's house in CA

13. A new laptop desk and file cabinet. She said she would fix all my "disarrayed" documents into a file cabinet. They are all organized now. . just amazing. I am not worried about the house bills anymore, she takes care of everything.

14. The new dryer I bought is still unused. She said why use it when there is too much sun in Florida. So we just hang our clothes in the garage. Saves electricity and money. I'm sure she will start using it when she will be working

Having Myla is the best thing that has happened in my life. She is getting calls now for job interviews which unfortunately couldn't make it because she still travels with me. She wants to work soon, she said this is her longest vacation from work ever and she is excited to go back to work. Although she need not work, I want her to be happy.

Those were the things I did/bought in preparation for her arrival.
