Thank you very much Gracey. Yes, at that very moment, my fiancee gave me the strength I needed. I've never had anyone fought for me the way he did. He is really the one for me... and God really loves me so much!

Ria, you will not be given obstacles you cannot overcome and this was one of them. God works in ways not known to man. Breathe easy; this trial is over and done with. Relax and enjoy the days to come. Rest assured that you have found your knight in shining armor..and your son, the man he would idolize the rest of his life. I am glad that you all are about to embark on such a wonderful journey :)

Congrats on finally getting the visa. The bad experiences will all fade from your memory with time. Move on and enjoy your life again.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

hi ria,

i am not sure if you are the one that we (marjo) saw in the USEM. i was hesitant to greet you thinking that it might not be you. ikaw ba yung nakared na dress and ur son was wearing long sleeves and ur fiance din?

I hope and i pray that everything will be ok sa visa mo.

Yes Pink. That was me. I tried looking for you too. Everybody there was very happy when they got out of the room for the interview...except for us. I don't know if you know na there was a commotion there at that time. As in nabulabog ang mga consuls. Congratulations on your approval!

Still my congratulations! your fiance' has fought for you and ur son..Love does move mountains really. That was quite good that the consuls encountered your fiance, not everyone who is in this process who are doing things right and for real will just keep their heads nodding and be saying yes all the time...nakakuha sila ng katapat! Can't wait for you to share your experience, am sure it will help those scheduled for interview to anticipate for such circumstance.

God bless.

There are hardships in every journey that we take and that's how life is all about.And whatever you've gone through,it's all in the past now,it will leave a mark yes,but it will just be a memory,a memory that you may choose to forget or to reminisce,and whether we like it or not,it's already a part of our life.and memories like that will always be cherished and always like to look back not because of the bad part but because it's nice to recall that despite of the hurdles,there's somebody there who never let you down and really fought for you,and only the one who loves you so much can do that....your fiance.

Whatever it is Congratulations for winning the battle!!!
