Live.love.laugh.eat.and blog

Life is really full of surprises. I have been rambling in this blog on random moments because I am a very moody writer. I have to get into the right mood to be able to write something. If I'm not in the mood to write - even when I am very happy, I just stare at my screen and do the cycle of type and erasing on the first sentence. I blog without having a draft, that's how weird I am. I don't even mind my grammar when I'm writing. Sometimes it's my husband who will point out my lapses. But I'm all cool with that or sometimes I just leave my horrible entry out in the open. It's my blog, read at your own risk! :D

Anyway, life is full of surprises 'coz I met a new friend whom I share a similar life experience like getting here on a K1 visa, living in Orlando, and so much more! I am hesitant in meeting new people 'coz I am used to being in my own comfort zone. It takes a while for people to warm up to me and for me to do the same thing. I have this huge anti- social bubble that keeps me away from people. Sure, I do have a lot of friends, but it took awhile for them to be my friends 'coz I seldom let my guard down. But it's just amazing, that through this blog, I met a new friend who never hesitated to open up to me and share her own experiences. What's even interesting is that we have a lot of things in common. It just makes my heart happy that some people actually read my blog even if most of my entries are all about nonsense. I even made a new friend through it!

Oh, to sidetrack, I had my biometrics today and I almost gave my husband a heart attack. He already told me to bring all my documents, but I was stubborn enough to listen to him. I just brought my appointment letter and my passport. So when we went there, the first thing the USCIS personnel noticed was the discrepancy between my married and maiden name. They asked for our marriage certificate and I didn't bring it! Good thing they honored my husband's driver's license and made me fill out a form. So I filled out the form, then there was this part that says social security number. I go.. "uh oh.." My husband went: " You gotta be kidding me. Don't tell me you don't have it. Tell me that you're kidding" I just smiled and said I don't have it. My husband just shook his head and said, "What will I ever do with you baby." I know he wanted to get mad at me, but I'm glad he kept his composure and decided to let it go- well not actually let it go 'coz he was telling me on how to memorize my socials and keep all my documents together until we got home. So that was quasi-letting go on his part. :) I have learned my lesson: listen to your husband. :) I was done with the fingerprinting in less than 10 mins. What took our time was the waiting game. I am glad that I am finally done with it and it's now time to wait for my EAD and Green Card. I hope the paperwork we passed were all correct so we won't get any RFE's. I can't wait to work soon and help the family. I admire my husband for being a good provider, but I don't want him to take all the load all the time. I believe that both should work as a team in marriage.

Another surprise is the Celtics winning against the Cavaliers last night. The #1 team in the East lost their throne. It's great to see Lebron shaking everyone's hand after the game though. He may be a douche, but I feel sorry for him 'coz he is taking all the blame for the Cavalier's loss against Celtics. Now it's Celtics playing against Magic for the East Conference Finals. I have been to 4 Magic games at the Amway Arena and I have seen how they beat their opponents. But I think the Celtics is a hard team to beat, coz I think the Magic are a bunch of good guys who are playing against a bunch of thugs. haha! My husband is a Celtics fan, so I'm not sure if he will be rooting for Orlando this year. I know he would, because we agreed on the fact that we will root for Orlando this year since they gave us the chance to be on center court during our wedding day, but it's going to be so tough on his part 'coz he has always been a Celtics fan. I've decided to root for the Magic this year 'coz I now live in Orlando. I do hope they will get to the finals though, I really hope they would.

My first time to watch the Magic game! (020810)



Magic vs. Haws (Game 2 - 050410) - Sweep by the Magic!

With the Orlando Magic Blue Guys (Magic vs. Hawks)
Magic vs. Spurs (Spurs got killed during this game)
Magic vs. Bobcats (The Bobcats got killed during this game too!)



Our Orlando Magic Center Court picture with Tim's friend, Sam.



So I guess I am not reaching point b anymore and I have to stop blabbering. I'm just happy to experience life's surprises -whether good or bad. I wouldn't trade my life for someone else's no matter how rich they are. It's really true: Live.love.laugh..and yeah, eat. :)

Medical Examination at SLMCEC

November 9-10, 2009 This will be a blow by blow account of my medical exam that took place last week. If you want to be first in line, you can be there as early as 3am, but I went there at 5am because I wanted to make sure that I am safe while taking the exam and I don't want to wait in line for 2-3 hours. It was a good move, since they were already accepting applicants at 5am and I got in around 5:20am and I was the 54th applicant of the day. Make sure to have the following ready: 1. Passport 2. 4 2x2 visa pictures (they will only take 3 though, but I brought 4 since that's their requirement) 3. Original and photocopy of approval letter from the embassy 4. Print out of your interview schedule 5. Black ballpoint pen 6. Payment (213.35 - exchange rate is at 48) Flow chart: 1. At 5:30 I already got in and filled out the Patient Data Sheet form. Memorize your fiance's address and phone number or at least have a copy of it. 2. The guard called us up for the digital picture taki

I'm not so evil after all

" I never got the chance to be your trainee, but I heard a lot of good things about you Ms. Dee." Reading this post from someone I barely even know made my heart flutter. I know that I have been totally brutal with my trainees when I was still working as a trainer back home 'coz I want them to be excellent in their field. I know I was hated by many 'coz I don't know how to kiss people's asses. I even almost got in trouble with our big boss when I was only passing a few people during interviews. A lot of people were mad at me 'coz of my unbelievable standards. A lot of times it did affect me and all I wanted was to please everyone, but I was also pushed by my one of my supervisors not to lower my standards. I got reprimanded for passing a few people during interviews by our big boss, and I got reprimanded by my direct supervisor for passing a lot of trainees during my class. I was totally confused when I was starting up in my new field. But time, experience

Mr. Crabs

I am selectively listening to Blood Hound Gang's Uhn tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss almost the whole day. I say selectively, 'coz the lyrics is not really something you would be proud to share to everyone. But the beat is catchy and it triggers my happy brain neurons and makes me want to talk about....king crab legs. Yes, the king crab legs I had last Friday. I love crabs especially if it's cooked in coconut milk. My mom used to cook one whole pot for me everytime I visit Bukidnon. It's such a treat 'coz the Davao-Bukidnon trip takes around 4 hours, so going home to hot rice and a pot of crabs cooked in coconut milk is like being in heaven. It makes me forget how sucky my trip was and just makes me thank my mom for cooking my favorite food. But gone were those days when I just tell my mom I want crabs, 'coz here the crabs are very expensive! They don't have the wet market we have in Valencia that sells crabs for 240php per kilo. The cheapest is 8.99 USD per lb here.
