Hey all Im in the Philippines right now but will be home soon on the 25th just in time for our first year wedding anniversary which is on the 26th. Im having a great time here and my 36 days vacation went by so fast so sad to leave my family behind again but at the same time happy that im bringing home with me my 3 boys and be togetehr again with my husband whom i missed somuch..Oh well this is life you have to sacrifice somethings to be able to achieve something. Im not sure when we can visit my family again but the time i spent with them are so precious, and the pasyal and traffic and the tawadan sa palengke are some of the things i enjoyed doing while im here.and the never ending gala with my sisters and cousin hanggang sa sumuko ang mga binti sa kalalakad...hayyyy kaka miss agad.

I know exactly how you feel. Being with your relatives once again there is a happy experience and for sure when you and your children are here, you will be preoccupied with a lot of things at home. Life there is exciting especially if you have good people to spend your vacation with. I also miss my old life there where I have to take the tricycle to the market, jeepney to the next town and our long tiring trip going to our province. Good luck on your travel back to the US. I also miss the smiles of people and the never ending "kumustahan and puyatan" plus of course the native foods.

i can 100% relate to you!!! the reason why im not eligible for citizenship is because of the numbers of days stayed out of the country. me and son stayed in PI for 10 months to be with my husband and spend precious time and we got back feb of this year, when we got married, i stayed in the Phils for almost 2yrs but with a reentry of course since i was taking my nursing degree at the same time. its too hard, really hard.... i have to go back and forth to spend time with my husband while my i-130 is still on the process and will take forever and half for him to come and be together forever.

good for you coz you already have your husband, and kids with you..... but of course the rest of the family is still there....

i even made a promise to myself that i will throw a huge party for all the people from this site who can come if my husband will be here in the US. but thats not till maybe 3 yrs from now...

i always think of it as "THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR EVERYTHING"

GOOD LUCK THOUGH AND TAKE IT EASY....
