Counting the days

Time moves fast and the day is getting closer.
I know I dreamed of this to happen and now that
it is soon to happen I am on a mixed emotions.

Mix emotions because I am happy and excited that
soon I'm going to experience my first international
flight and be with my husband.I just wish I can be in
two places at the same time because for sure I'm
going to miss my family and friends here especially my
ever supportive and loving Mama.

I am just so thankful because Internet makes the world
smaller, wherein it bridges the distance that separates
people from all over the world. Moreover I thank the
Lord for continuously reminding me that with Him in my
life everything will be fine.

The Heat is on

SUMMER is always been a time for everyone to enjoy and have
fun under the heat of the sun doing some outdoor activities.

People usually love to spend their summer vacation doing
something recreational, something new, something great.

Going to beaches is one of the common summer escapades done
by most of the people. Swimming on the pool can be an option
while others prefer to do some outdoor activities like island
hopping,water rafting,snorkeling,hiking,camping,zip lining,
rappelling, scuba diving and a lot more activities that can
make one sweat out, feel healthy and keep going.

While some parts of the world are still having snow, others
are beginning to feel the spring time. In the Philippines
summer has just begun where one can feel that the heat is on.

We Made It!

In less than a year, my husband and I made it!

Looking back when we start filling up the application,
paying the bills and a number of forms need to be filled up,
signed and submitted to USCIS and NVC. The waiting seem to
be like eternity but not anymore for we made it.

Before my appointment for medical exam arrive I used to
only drink water, milk and buko ( coconut ) juice and learned
how to flushed out negative things that might affect the medical
and physical result. Last month was the schedule for my medical
exam at St. Luke's Medical Center.Right after I got the result
I headed my way to the US Embassy making sure I know where to
go on my interview date and good thing the security guards told
me on what to do and where to go.

Week after my medical exam is the date for my Immigrant Visa
Interview. I went there early and went through the step-by-step
procedure. I had a great time during my interview. I was confident
in giving answers because I was able to say it the way I want it.
Paid the visa delivery fee and happily left the US Embassy. Four
days after, I received my Visa.

My husband and I would like to extend our sincere thanks to our
families in the Philippines and in USA who is very supportive and
who truly showed their unconditional love to both of us.

To the nice people we met during the process, especially to the
WOF community who in one way or another has contributed a lot.

Above all to the Almighty Father for the many blessings He has
given and for making beautiful things to happen in His time.
To God be all the Glory!

Holy Week

Holy Week is an observance done by most of the Christians
every year. It is in this special occasion when we remember the
Paschal Mystery of Christ.

Paschal Mystery is the passion, death and resurrection of Christ.
God suffered in so much pain during this time many years ago and
what makes it Holy is the Love that Jesus has in every pains and
sufferings He underwent.

This week as we observe its' Holiness may we reflect God's words in
our daily lives and may we all grow as Christians with strong faith,
more courage and determination to do what is right and to be more
dedicated in our work, much more in our relationship with our
families and with God.

Alleluia!

This is the day when parents are going to see their
sons and daughters marching on the stage on their graduation
day with pride. Giving diplomas is always been a gesture of every
school in letting their students know and feel that a milestone is
happening.

Honors and awards are given to students who exerted more effort
in reaching the top.Every effort they gave to every activities,
projects,assignments and examinations were greatly appreciated
by not only their teachers but more of their parents who sent them
to school and who makes everything possible for them to give the
best for their children. It's time to celebrate!

To all the graduates of 2008, my congratulations.
Let all the glory be for God!
