Wow guys, there are lot of progress going on today, and it's just the start of the week. Let's pray for continuous blessings...

jamesN rei, tuloy ba licensure exam mo? nursing ba? any news on your end? goodluck on your dentist trip with your son...

so, the get-together would probably be our holloween party, heheh...

take note of the date, ping will be here in manila 27th.....

natassja_keisha, where in Pque? I'm at Greenheights Village near Lopez. Maybe you like to join us (trinidad-lohner, pinglocahostess, stephnRia, pie, JamesRachel) for pre halloween get together? (tentative Oct 27?) other VJer's are welcome too! pretty_mommy, twilight, christian's gem are u in metro manila too? Jose_Rizal, want to be the rose among the thorns??? oops wifey might not allow you. :D

trinidad-lohner, pinglocahostess, stephnRia, pie, JamesRachel any ideas??? pls take note ping will arrive this 26th, her flight is on 29.

Godismystrength where are you???

trinidad-lohner, i have no update for you guys. ironic, I started this but I have no news. lol...sorry, my fiance refuses to call. For him there's no benefit from bugging them. This has been a Big issue between us so I gave up begging, and arguing with him (last was just yesterday). I am just checking delbros' tracking system. I plan to take the exam end of nov here if still no visa. But i am not ready! my fiance wants to boink me :bonk: it's :secret: medical licensure shhhh...switch topic, dentist story, oh my gulay!!! i took my son ( he just turned 3) to his 5th dentist, he won't open his mouth to the last 3 we visited. So I have no choice but to take him to a Pedia specialicist. My son has a bad case, bad habit with the feeding bottle and milk. First dentist (last June, I was very, very busy before) I will pay 33K+++ for everything. No budget at that time, after 4 months, 3 visits to other dentists and several antibiotic treatment (you can just imagine how bad it is) now i took him to a dentist ,trained in NY, at alabang (I was already anticipating the FEE). But she knows what she is dealing with. She has props, gadgets, toys, puppets, and she even sings, and one on one parent lecure...lol :wow: it was a successful trip, and my son is now tentatively scheduled for dental makeover (extraction, pulpectomy, crowns, filling, etc.) this Friday under sedation (IM/IV) it will cost around 50K!!! :crying: he needs it done before going to US, it costs a lot there for sure. So I accept donations guys! lol

Better verify the CFO, if u need it maybe we can attend it together even without passport, but we will go back for the stamp on our visa. Oct 27? If you have driver's and PRC license it will suffice for CFO's identification requirement, no need for NBI clearance.

Bevs stay strong girl!

jamesNrei,

yes i have driver's and PRC but i don't want to go back for the stamp lang...where is the CFO held? how many hours? sabay tayo..i think ping will take hers in davao...is that right, ping?

im so happy you finally found your trip to the dentist a success...yep, it's true mas mahal talaga dun...i'm lucky i have a sister who happens to be a dentist...when i was a little girl (though little pa din ako til now, hehhe), i have terrible teeth formation...thank goodness, my sister was a dentistry student then so, patient niya ko lagi sa school, hahaha..naalala ko pa classmate niya si frida fonda (remember her? yung sa TODAS? oops, mukhang nahahalata age ko, hahaha)....and it turned out pretty well....naalagaan kahit pano...last month, she showed me my pics dun sa file niya, gosh, i couldnt believe i had bad (oh no, terrible pala) teeth...i cant remember how it looks like then eh....and wow, she told me she's gunna show it to my hubby, hahahaha...i told her WAG NA at super kahit ako tawang-tawa....anyway, hndi na siya nagpaparactice now kasi super jealous si husband niya....kaya kahit gusto kita i-refer, hay, bwisit hubby nun eh....hehe..sigh, sigh...

im happy nakahiyangan mo si DMD for your son though, magastos nga lang...

friends here, iikot na donation box para sa anak ni jamesNrei....

ping is still playing hide and seek with the delbros' boy. lol she has not returned yet. I'll answer for her (feeling close hehehe)... she plans to attend the CFO thing here in Manila on Monday(27), and if I have the passport I might join her. If not we can go together? The video takes for only 2 hours, their session is at 10 am, 1 and 3 pm held at PRISM, BDO building near La Salle Taft. but be there few minutes before coz you have to fill up the forms first. Then proceed to QUirino Ave for the stamp at CFO office. I don't know how it is in St. Mary's? Does anyone knows?!

your sister has something to black mail you!

guys re the Donation box, please be generous! :D
