Guys,

My son and i already here in Texas since sept 27,sorry took so long to post our experience,we dont have internet yet in our house,just using cellphone this time to share my experienced.

We left in manila at 9am via japan airlines,the service is great and the food is wow.we supposed to arrive at narita airport by 2pm but we got delayed for almost 1 hr,and my connecting airlines was continental,my son and i only have 45 mins left to be in our connecting flight,my gosh we need to run and have xray and checking all ur handcarry before u can go to the bus waiting area.but bcoz i have kid with me they gave us prioritize,like we we are on the first lane and got on the bus.

Finally we got in our connecting flight (Continental Airlines)we left in narita @ 4:30pm..the service kinda snobby but its ok,food kinda ok..they are not that friendly to assist,but iam not saying all of the crew,,might just those person who assigned on our lane..from narita to texas 12 hrs flight...!!!

Texas (Bush International Airport)

Its a big airport and u cant even see the effect of the Ike Hurricane.Very beautiful place.Its a nice weather,so clean and friendly people...

I went to the immigration,the officer looks like old chineese woman,she dont smile,but she dont ask me much,she just ask,how do i know my fiance and how long do i know him then sent me to isolated room.

I saw different nationality in that room,those officer are funny they kept joking to us,it took me almost 2 hrs waiting coz the officer who took my brown envelop did a mistake abt my son medical result,my son got positve in tuberculin skin test during our medical at st lukes.but he is negative on his xray...so this officer in and out talking to diff officers and high rank's abt my son medical and wants to keep my son xray film..then he called me for interview.like same thing the co asked us during our interview at USEM.then asked him wats goin on, why took so long,he told me that bcoz of my son tuberculin skin test,then i explained to him that my son is negative and clear,then he admitted that he did a mistake abt it.then he told me that i need to get married within 90 days.and welcome to USA..finally he let us go..lol..i saw my fiance at the arrival area,so with roxy with hubby and very cute baby.we called yankee...thank you guys for all the help,support ,always there for me,,and so with jego_ryu these 3 wonderful ladies always calling me to give help as much they can...!!how lucky iam!!!!

Got to go for now..so busy preparing things,like buying furnitures,setting phones,internet,cables,wedding,my son also goin to school start tom.my future in laws are coming today.my uncle,auntie and cousin will arrive tom.!!!

Hopefully next week my AOS in god's will,,,sabay na tau jego_ryu he hehehe!!!

Prayer is the best to start a day...A day for us to have faith to face trials & value what life is....!!! have a nice day to everyone!!!!

Surprised with the interview thing you had in Houston,coz i never thought it's gonna happen since i never had that situation during my first travel to the US but anyway everything sounds clear naman for you and your son.I have a question,me and my 2kids are taking same flight like you had only we have another connecting flight from Houston to Jacksonville Florida.Im curious about the travel tax since we pruchased our tickets thru Expedia and bottom part says tax paid $105,do we still need to pay travel tax at the airport?did you paid yours?and i heard kids age 2 and below 12 paid half which is Php810.00.How did this thing works for you and your son?

And oh,spare me with another question regarding CFO,children below 13 doesn't need to attend the seminar right?But is there any payment to be paid at CFO for kids?I hope you could get in touch with me whenever you can.Our flight is on October 7th.Thanks a lot and God Bless

LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD. IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUST, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERSE. LOVE NEVER FAILS.
