hi everyone, im back!!!

been out shopping with my nieces the past two days...they are here with me on weekends for shopping, dining, movies, church and anything under the sun...

Ping, like you, my sisters bug me to leave soon, but my nieces are emotional about my leaving...my nieces are my heirs here, hahaha..everytime they come to visit on a weekned, each of them bring home two paperbags of clothes, shoes and other paraphernalia...hahaha...coz my nieces are in their teens now....my sister, on the other hand, is after my signatured bags/purses..she told me to just start on my collection again when i get to the US....the packing is kinda problem to me...when i travel for work or on family trips, i usually travel-light but, this time it's different...my hubby told me, "hunny, you can't travel light this time but, you can just take with you for now, winter and spring clothes since we will come home to PI in june..." he wanted to come home to PI after 6 months but the thing is, i'm not even sure if my visa allows it or in case i already got work then, if my work allows it....really hard to let go stuff which took much of your effort, money and time picking and taking to PI...

Rhea, do you think you should update my status to U since last Friday when my hubby called, Lorraine told him it's under review and wait within 5 working days for my visa....(uy, super excited magchange status, heheh)...about the get together here in Manila, who's in? where do you want to go? what do you want to do? any suggestions? i don't have a good reason to go with the rest who decided to have a date (hehe) at the US Embassy...plus, i really think that i should just wait for Delbros magic text in 5 working days....that means anytime this week....

to everyone here waiting, this is another week to bug the US Embassy and another week to look forward to receiving Delbros' magic text...Goodluck to all of us!!! God bless!!!

Everything happens in His time...

oops... sorry for the overlook of status, I was sulking over weekend and forgot to update the list. hehehe. i'm still in for get together, pingLocalHostess wants to join too all the way from Davao. Actually, She'll be here in manila next week few days before her flight. We can schedule it around that time if you like. Anything goes for me.

Jettyglenn care to join?

JamesRachel how about forget the embassy trip? let's just have fun!

[trinidad-lohner 0]

i really wish, we all fly together....

my hubby is a true-blooded LA boy and a certified bryant fan, hahaha...my family is in LA, too...

my hubby got tired of the LA fever and moved to vegas..he's been in vegas a little over two years now...

[jamesNrei 0]

[PingLocalHostess 1]

trinidad-lohner: Can i be your niece too? I want the designer bags and shoes too! Hahaha (as if theres space left in my luggage). My bros are after my tech gadgets. They even took my phone and replaced it with their old 3310 Hahaha. I dont have sisters so my friends are after the girl stuff. Hmmm i think im gonna put price tags on them hahaha for sale. Ill be in manila on the 26th. I just need to do the CFO on the 27th. Ill be outta there by 29th, hopefully with jamesnrei. We can all fly together with the same POE... then we'll part from there.

jamesnrei: We'll be cowgirls! YeeeeeHaaaaaa riding cows? Este horses pala. Hehehe

JamesRachel: Yeah, we can just have fun. *whispers* We'll throw eggs at the embassy's gate after dinner. Shhhhhhh

bevs: Where are you now?

jettyglenn: Are you leaving as soon as you get your visa? I think you mentioned, you are supposed to fly on the 27th.

TRINIDAD-LOHNER i thought Trinidad's your First name im pretty sure its okay with his dad SINCE HE REALLY DOESNT KNOW! kidding aside, its nice knowing that ur case is under review and visa will be within 5 working days!

JAMESNREI Yes, sure!!! but just like PINGLOCALHOSTESS, Im from Davao too...

PINGLOCALHOSTESS was supposed to fly 23rd of Oct, but if visa comes this week or next , ill fly on the 1st week of November since my Mom and nephew's birthday is Nov 1, then trip to US of A will be a week after that oh by the way, finish na ka seminar? Where ka? manila nalang cguro me

[trinidad-lohner 0]

question, are those under K3 or CR1/IR1 (spouses) need to attend that CFO?

my husband has set his mind my trip being november 3rd...so, got a bit worried in case i need to attend that CFO thingy....

Ping, jettyglenn, sayang, i was last in davao february, i should've met you, guys but, i wasn't a member of VJ then and i wasn't in the waiting loop yet, heheh...

rhea, cge let's set that once the girls are here in manila, despedida na rin, haaaaaaaaaayyyyy....

ping and rhea, btw, inggit ako that you both have the possibility of flying together...naku, my husband and i want to be country boy and girl, too (heheh), we're country by heart...vegas is not our final destination, it's really up to me, he said...he's not so concerned about his career, he's more concerned about mine coz i told him, if i don't get the career i want there, i'd fly back to PI, hahah....and my father-in-law is with me on this, hahaha....basta, invite us na lang in texas ha? i got friends there, too, kaya okay lang...i think my husband hasn't been to TX, too...let me ask him when he wakes up...

btw, who's the one reviewing for the US boards here? ping, is that you? nursing ba? ako din kasi got to take the test december 6th (pacquiao-dela hoya fight, hehe)....but like you, i couldn't focus on reviewing so, i just wrote the board and requested that i take the board next schedule, that would be in june of 2009...it's the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Exam (FPGEE) nga pala...balik ako sa college degree ko since i've learned that pharmacists make 5x nurses make...so, even if i didn't practice my profession and jumped to corporate (pharmaceutical marketing) my whole 12 years working experience, i decided to get back to my books, hahaha...then, bahala na!!! que sera sera....ping, go ka na ba sa board? let me know....

cge, gtg for now, ill see you later...

ping, i forgot, yeah, u better put tags on your stuff...pandagdag baon din yun diba?

but ako, i couldn't work that way sa dami ng kamag-anakan, incorporated ko plus, female-dominated ang family ko....yikes!!!

[PingLocalHostess 1]

trinidad-lohner: Yeah i think so, on their website it states those leaving with foreign nationals as fiance(e) or spouse has to attend the seminar. Underage kids are exempted though. You are welcome to join me and jamesnrei or anyone else who wants to go with us. We can have dinner or a night out after. Weeee thats gonna be fun hehe.

Ill be flying outta there on the 29th. I have to get there before Halloween .

I think it was jamesnrei who mentioned she should be studying but she cant concentrate coz of the whole waiting thing. But she didnt mention what she is studying about... could be a medical license too. Im on a different field. Im a BSAccountancy graduate. I was working on taking my licensure exam here and at the same time working as a Linksys Tech before this whole k1 process. I stopped reviewing coz the license will be entirely useless in the US. And ill be shifting to another career, IT. So ive been studying those instead coz when i move there, ill be getting Cisco certificates... *crossing my fingers*. Ill be going to school too. Theres like 5 associate certifications (CCNA, CCDA, CCNA Security, CCNA Voice and CCNA Wireless) and 5 professional certifications (CCNP, CCDP, CCIP, CCSP and CCVP). Im a geek *giggles* . So im gonna have torrid nosebleeds hahaha. But i find it fun so it wont feel like a lot of work . We arent gonna have kids yet till 2-3 years (hope so) so i have time. Im selfish . I dont really wanna be a stay at home wife..... i dont think that suits me plus id be UBER BORED.

I put tags on some shoes and bags before i went to bed... hahaha so anyone who'll come over tomorrow WILL HAVE TO buy. Lol

Oh i just became a VJ-er recently, Sept 24. You and jamesnrei started last Sept 23. jettyglenn was first, Aug 04 .

Ill be living in SA, TX. I hear its really nice there. NO SNOW . You and jamesnrei can come visit Weeeee.

jamesnrei: Can we do the CFO thingy on the 27th? I wonder what are the requirements... bevs said we need to bring our passport (with or without), 2X2 pics, BC, NBI clearance and valid ID. I have to get NBI again.

bevs: CFO requirements: passport, 2X2 pics, BC, NBI clearance and valid ID? Is that all? Those without the passport yet can take the seminar, right?

jettyglenn: You in manila right now?

[bevs 0]

bevs: CFO requirements: passport, 2X2 pics, BC, NBI clearance and valid ID? Is that all? Those without the passport yet can take the seminar, right?

hi sis Ping, i guess u didnt able to seen my reply on u telling u that how i wish we could fly together? anyway yeah u got it rigth just bring those with photocopy, and when u got ur yellow certificate, dont forget to photocopy it before u will go to the CFO office, so u wont go back and fort. so ur planning to fly before the halloween, thats what i wanted to, but i dont want to assure my self of making that date, cuz i never have any idea whats been going on with our papers now, this is so unbelievable, oh boy i am dreaming of seeing my son wearing his first halloween attire, which his grandma already bought him last Saturday, she is so sweet grandma and mom to me, she is excited more than Alex are i cannot wait to see my hubby's loving family. i do hope for all of us here to have a good new this week,i know it would be possible that we can get good new this monday cuz this is just a begining of there work days, well i cross my fingers for all of us. may OUR Lord bless us all and shower us his BLESSING .
