*must think positively*

psiprez, just think of all those days and nights when you won't have to pretend to be hugging your SO anymore.... and just think that same time next year, you will only be looking back at this visa waiting and smile...

i know how it feels to pretend coz i have a pillow here and its pillow case is the shirt Ricky wore on his last day here... I'm telling you the underarm area was stinky, i would even woke up few months back and thinking "where is that smell coming from?" only to realize, the sleeves of the shirt is already directly on my nosetrils ... he left, July 17, i haven't washed nor removed the shirt from my huggable pillow up to now... but his smell has almost entirely evaporated already .... but at least I can still imagine him through his shirt... same time next year, i won't be imagining anymore and that really gives me the hope....

Oh wow! Everytime I read the January filer's posts, I feel like Im gonna have a heart attack!!! I have been a silent reader here, but I just can't take it any longer. Im a January filer and I know our time will come sooner than we expected.

To those January filers who got their NOA2- Im happy for you guys! And you gave me hope!!!

And to dbears: You are so great! I wish I know you in person!

AWW , you make me blush.... Thank you very much .. who knows we might have the same interview and medical..... Sooner or later we would all get our approval.

yah we got out NOA2 today..

goodluck to all january filers..

see you on next step.

CONGRATS!!! the poor guy have been bouncing all day and all night for all of you who got approvals.. i hope he still have energy when our time comes

hello Gay! Sugod pa ko pangita ug design sa gown sa internet makalibog sa kadaghan gwapo designs LOL! But true I´ll have my gown made here kay mahal jud didto. Ikaw naa ka na?Asa ka magpatahi?

You just think of what type of wedding you want to have and then choose a design appropriate for that... I'll have a very simple flowing gown coz we will have a very simple outdoor Christian wedding. I will have it made sa Davao when we are assured of interview dates already. My friend knows somebody who used to work in Chardin so maybe dito ko patahi .

I am sure any design will look good on you coz you are gifted with a slim figure... me, i'd have to be careful to chose a design that will at least make me look me a little taller and will hide my love handles well

here's some helpful sites:

theknot

bridalwave- this one have so many funny reviews.. esp. the frock horrors

brides.com

Wow , that´s really sweet with that shirt thing! I´m sure that helps coz I do also keep some Steve´s shirts with me...well, he always leaves some of his stuff too for me to keep and so that i feel closer to him, he said...And since then, i always sleep in his shirts. I think that´s really the closest i can get Anyways, salamat kaayo gay for the wedding gown tips you gave me!!!! Really so nice and thoughful of you! Thank you!mwah! And yea, Id love to get to know your friend´s friend too, maybe s/he could give me an affordable offer ( yano, still gotta stick to the budget )! Oh, every bride looks good in her wedding dress...Moreover, it´s the look on her face, the sparkle in her eyes, and the brightness of her smile that shines through on this very day

knowing that she´s marrying the love of her life!!!

Me too!!! More than you can know!!! I want everyone to celebrate!!!!

Dawn.. I'm so going to be keeping an eye on your timeline now that your stuff is on the way to London. Maybe it will help me get an idea of what to expect currently from them once our NOA2 is approved!

We're still waiting for packet 3; I just hope we get it before I go to the UK, since we'd like to schedule his medical appointment while we're there...possibly save a little money. I hear the train prices have gone up again....

I know what you mean. I'd wanted to be there with him for either his medical or interview but not possible. As for train prices... that's what Kris had mentioned.. that and the fuel costs over there are insane!

Congratulations!!!!

I had such a bad day at work. My new boss started (in the job everyone agrees should have been mine) and is clueless and tyrannical, doing the whole "there's a new sheriff in town and things are gonna change" bit. A coworker reminded her of what always happens to the "new sheriff" in those old westerns... lol.

I was hoping to get some good news today, but alas no. I am now convinced that my SO shares his name with some major terrorist, or that I'm just too stupid to have filled out the paperwork correctly. Silly, I know. But trust me, if there is D-R-A-M-A to be had, it's gonna happen to US. It always does. But hey, at least you can all be sure that YOU won't be the couple left behind for months without a NOA2, it'll be us. LOL.

At least others have had good news today!

I'm sending you a BIG WARM HUG and prayers that you'd be feeling a little better today..

"whatever you ask for in prayer, BELIEVE that YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT, and IT WILL BE YOURS."

I was looking at the chart, and it seemed that 6 people got approved in one day (3/5)....

Now why can't CSC be that way for those poor people? Doesn't make any sense...

An even worse day at work today. Looks like this new boss is trying to get my coworker and me, or herself, fired. She's a complete airhead, doesn't listen to a word anyone says and is on quite a bit of a power trip. I am trying to steer clear and let her hang herself with her own rope, but there are times I MUST deal with her. I can only imagine what she is telling her superiors about me. But hey, for the last two months ( when I was in charge), the place finally ran like clockwork. So if it goes up in flames now, it will look like it's all her fault, not mine. At least that is what I keep telling myself. I'd so leave if I could. This job is completely sucky, but the last thing I need is to be out of work now!

And... no approval for us today.
