Hello everyone.. I am back! :P

I had a slight fever, achy muscles and diarrhea for almost 2 days.. The day after I arrived. I was thinking what might possibly the cause since I didn't even eat anything yet.. :blush: Husbie is just worried about me. :luv:

My flight was not too horrible although, my seatmate from Manila to Japan snores like hell. He has this piggy snore with loud speaker included.. :bonk: And the fact that there is no courteousy toothbrush and toothpaste for travelers in JAL eventhough the flight was almost 14 hours from Japan to JFK (plus the delays).. How could that possibly be? :blink: I have traveled internationally with some airlines but they have such things. You will eat and never brush for such long hours! :wacko: It is a good thing that the brazilian couple have an extra traveler's set so they gave it to me..Bless them! :innocent:

JFK staff was so nice to me and apart from staying in the long queue for visa holders and visitors, everything went well..

Seren and Steve, have a safe flight. Goodluck to both of you..

Carol - I am sooooo happy that you are out of VCSH!

Lisa and Cnt - Hi to both of you. Hope everything is well..

Jen - How are you?

GS- Thanks.. Goodluck!

I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how -- completely and forever......

Hey Candid, nice to c u :) . Oh no another traveler sick :( Get well soon and get some rest. I always get sick after a long trip like that as well. Everytime I have gone to Lebanon I ended sick once there and sick once back! My mom once said what is wrong with u always getting sick when u go to Lebanon?? It's part of jet lag mom, not to metion the climate change and the bacteria floating around in that airplane cabin :unsure:

Waving at Que! How is the honeymoon going? :luv::devil:;) Get ready Lisa, Seren and Steve, u guys are next (to quote CNT, "baby, baby, baby, baby"??? :whistle: lol

stopping in to say hi. i got all caught up in watching twighlight on demand. :luv: I (L) vampire stories...no dark child comments cnt, although i did just open THAT door didnt I? :lol:

It was pretty good, but i hate teasing movies...you know the kind, with the open ending. jerks keep ya hanging until the next one! lol

I could start reading the books I guess. heh

Wendy! sorry you got sick on the germflight :( I hope you are feeling better. welcome to america :D

GS, get to cleaning out those closets!!! ;) Actually im quite the procrastinator but once i start something its on and i wont stop until its finished. So maybe if you just get started you will see that it will be done in no time. I got some of those "space bags" a few months ago and they RULE for packing away the winter stuff!

Steve, sorry I missed ya.. have a safe flight and good luck and all of that.. Everything will be wonderful! your sis wishes the best for you always :)

Seren,

25% isnt bad considering all the work you did elsewhere ;)

This has been one of the best weeks in a long long time for good and happy news for some of my friends and loved ones. Im feeling very grateful and content today :D

enjoy your weekends everyone!

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Good morning everyone :D Sorry I missed y'all last night. I wanted to get online but was so tired and occupied by family. So Steve and Seren are off to their interviews...bon voyage friends! I hope you have a safe, comfortable trip!

Candid, sorry you got sick :( Flying just sucks nowadays no matter what airline :no: I hope you feel better soon. Take some Pepto Bismol. Looks like hubby is gonna be slaving the first few days, not you :whistle::lol: I hope you feel better sweetie, if ya need anything, holla!

Good monring familia! Hope the weekend finds u well :)

GS, get to cleaning out those closets!!! ;) Actually im quite the procrastinator but once i start something its on and i wont stop until its finished. So maybe if you just get started you will see that it will be done in no time. I got some of those "space bags" a few months ago and they RULE for packing away the winter stuff!

enjoy your weekends everyone!

Hi Lis, it will require double whipping on ur part to get me going :lol::devil: U have a nice weekend too :luv: I have those SPACE bags too though what I don't like about them is how the clothes smell like plastic after u unpack them at the end of the season!

Have a safe trip Seren and Steve and take airborne to keeps the germs away!

Cnt and Candid, the whole hubby slaving image reminds me of my hubby. The two times I went to visit him and got sick the poor guy would make me fresh OJ and once even had to drive me to the hospital and was trying to emulate the sirens on an ambulance throughout the trip in the car; when we neared the hospital he kept making it louder on account that the ambulance has neared the ER :lol: My silly hubby ...I miss him, though at the time I did not think it was so cute, me being doubled in pain and all nauseous...hehe, I can't wait till we're finally reunited and we can be silly again together :P

I too feel thankful and blessed. Every night before I go to bed, I thank God for everything and bringing us to the last few steps of this journey, for giving us health and for keeping hubby safe till he is back in my arms among other things :innocent: .

Hope everyone is doing well and Seren hope u get that percentage up or else :whistle: lol....Good luck on ur interview. Will u have internet access while away?

46 days!!!

Hi everybody.. Husbie is at work and I just cannot sleep. I feel a bit better now.

CnT, you are sooo right.. He is my slave for few days.. :whistle::lol: He didn't go to work the other day because I was feeling terrible. He is the one preparing food for us and giving me everything I need.. :P I had a feeling that it was the cold weather that is making my stomach so upset.

I wish the best of luck to Seren and Steve.

GS - Goodluck to you as well..

Cnt - May the technical thingy be resolved soon.

Lisa - Few more days.. Please remind Yazied to have a pocket brush set in his bag just incase.. :P Didn't unpack my clothes yet as we need to clean husbie's closet first.. :wacko:

Jen - May you feel better soon..

Carol - How's NVC process?

I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how -- completely and forever......
