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!)

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. :)

Crafts for less

I don't really know what it is with the holiday season, but my "craftiness" usually kicks in whenever Christmas is fast approaching. It all started about a year ago when I decided to make personalized cards and gifts for my friends, family members, and colleagues. My Mom is really crafty, but I wasn't really interested in making projects when I was a lot younger, 'coz I'm just too lazy to even think about a concept. Our house in the Philippines will always be festive by October 'coz my Mom will decorate the entire place with so much attention to every detail, so that her holiday theme will flow all throughout our house. Meanwhile, I will just sit on the couch and watch TV and lounge like there's no tomorrow. I showed no interest at all, as everything was just too much for my brain cells to handle.

2012

I'm on a standstill. I feel so lost - I have lost myself into oblivion and I don't know if I can find myself again. All I see is darkness - I feel weak and hopeless. When will this agony end?  I want to be thankful for the blessings I have received, but the pain and challenges over shadows all the good things that are happening to me.  I feel like there's a dark cloud above me that just won't go away. It just sits there and I think it waits for me to feel really down and rain will just pour and wash way everything that I have left - my strength, hope, determination... everything. This feeling is killing me. When will the sun shine again? I want to quit. I can't quit. I wish I was a kid again, so I won't have to worry about grown up stuff. Growing up is hard, no one told me it is going to be easy in the first place. Who was I kidding?  I have to get out of this rut and be my strong, sure self again. This feeling is tiring.  I need that little glimmer o...

My first CVS make-up haul

One of my favorite fashion/beauty bloggers, April made me want to run out of our house at 10pm and go to CVS to check out their 75% off deal. She got a lot of make-up for less than $50! You can find her haul here:  http://aprilathena7.blogspot.com/2011/01/cvs-75-drugstore-cosmetic-sale.html . I love make-up, but I don't go for the expensive stuff. I still can't convince myself to splurge on make-up, especially that I don't really wear tons of it everyday. Since I was jealous about April's haul, I went ahead and dropped by the nearest CVS after work last Sunday, January 9th. I only got a few items 'coz the store near my place didn't really have a lot of stuff on sale. I think the 75% deal depends on which store you go to. On my first visit, I saved a total of $19.62! Then, I had to visit another store near my workplace 'coz I figured they have a wider range of choices there and I was happy that I wasn't disappointed with what I have found on the sale ...
