Galeng Galeng Talaga Ng Baby Ko!

Galing talaga ni Wah.Dami nya naasikaso last Sunday,April 13,2008. First he went to Bamboo Organ Church(to ask for the endorsement letter for our pre cana seminar and to ask about the paraphernalias and canonical interview, to which we are scheduled on the 18th of July). I told him to bring a cake for Ms.Miles dahil lagi syang nangungulit (as per my instruction to wah) :-) Ang dinala nya Mr.Donut!!Buti nalang andun si Father at nakikain din ng donut.He he he.Ang tawag tuloy ke Wah eh Mr.Donut. :-) Nagchika chika sila at bonding...

Then he went to Citadella to pay our RF of P5k(non-refundable) to Queensland Catering . Nagpa reserve na din sya ng 4 gallons of mineral water.

Lastly he went to Nature's Church(Mary Immaculate Parish) to give our endorsement letter for our pre cana seminar on July 19. There is a fee of P500 per couple.He was given a stub as receipt.

Then umuwi pa sya ng Maragondon.Grabe kaya pala pagod na pagod nung nakusap ko.Di bale very gud naman sya eh. :-)

WEDDING PARAPHERNALIAS

Pillows for the rings and arrhae. To tall you the truth I'm not too crazy abou them.My Mom bought them from Divisoria. I just don't like the heart shape! but she said the other one was P500. Too expensive just for that. I think she's right, though.

Wedding cord and arrhae. Kakatakot yung cord. He he he :-)

Congratulations! You are now officially a Permanent Resident of Canada

Yehey!

I knew it! God will give it to me.It took me 3 years to finally reach this stage.So much has happened in my life.Sometimes I just think about my experiences here and they make me smile, sometimes tearful, and cringe for all the stupid stuff I did(believe me there's a lot).And a lot more to come.Makes me feel anxious and hopeful at the same time.

One chapter has been overcome.Oh how I will miss those nights I pray for this!

I'll start praying to be a Canadian citizen now! Still have 2 years to do it! :-)

Here's what happened.I woke up at 4:30am, took a 30-minute bath to wake me up,ate,dried my hair,etc. and left the house at 6:00.I reached Kipling station at 7:05.Went to the washroom twice to kill time.At 7:30am I went to the CIC office.There were 3 people there already, one a very talkative Filipina.We talked and at exact 8:00am the "cutie" called someone who was'nt there yet.Then the Filipina from another booth called my name.I went there and paid $490.Then she asked me to go to the "cutie's" booth. He just checked my passport, work permit, and asked if I have any child supporting back home; if I have a criminal record; and if I have been deported from Canada to which I said No! (of course! I'm even afraid to jaywalk!) Then he took my picture,asked me to verify the information written on it, made me sign it.Afterwards he said "Congratulations, you are now officially a Permanent Resident of Canada".Before that we flirted a little on the side he he he.

The Night Before......

Hummmhhh.....

This time tomorrow my life will be altered....


Trying not to think about it all day........


Putting my nervousness and anxiety at bay.........


All those work and sacrifices........


Hopefully for the best. :-)


Wish me luck!

¡Está aquí!!! (It's Here!! It's Here!!) FINALLY

** Alleluia Chorus**

Hah hah!! I'm going maaaddd!!!

I got it March 27,2008.It was sent the day before and written the day before that.I am not expecting this so the news much sweeter.There I was not waiting for the mailman at all for I was sure it will come weeks more.I was thinking of what my reaction would be once I get it.Then I said to myself nahhhh!! Imposible namang dumating to kaagad!

Lo! pagbukas ko ng mailbox me nakita akong brown paper na nakasuksok sa Jewish newspaper,sabi ko mukahang paperbag ah.But I saw a glimpse of another brown envelope.Thinking that it could be for Alan like the last time I saw one and nearly had a heart attack thinking it could be for me and such devastation when it was'nt......Nasan nako? Pagkakita ko ng envelope hah!!My Name!!!! On a green paper.Nanginginig pa ang aking mga kamay sa pagbukas........The first thing I looked for was the schedule...Yes!!! Just a week after!

God is sooooooooo good talaga! I knew it! I knew He will give it to me.

Am Still Waiting...And Waiting...And Waiting...

It's been 4 weeks , 2 days and 7 hours. But who's counting? Surely not I who, after the moment got that life altering letter, checks the mailbox every hour of every day. (I've gotten the schedule of the mailman every day so I don't check it as much.The chink of that mail box is music to my ears. For the past 4 weeks, I live and breathe for that mail to come. I have pleaded,prayed and sweated over it but it seems fate does not heed to my pleas. I still am on a roller coaster of emotions.Depressed one moment and numb the next.Every morning offers a new promise.Every afternoon a moment of despair.Then the cycle continues.

Perhaps my mistake is to have googled it. I have found out that others have gotten their letters after mere 2-3 weeks.One got his a day after.Never mind that theirs were processed 2 years before.Things must have changed now.No wonder I have been waitng for a month.Silly me for getting my hopes up.My friend has warned me about this.Oh well, I hope she isn't right. I still have 3 weeks to prove she's wrong.

We got Freshcuts!

Hello! It's been a long time since I posted something here.Primarily because of laziness.

Well after long months of draught we have booked another wedding supplier.Freshcuts for our 200 pieces cupcake (in a cupcake tree of course), 20 pieces minicakes and a ceremonial cake.I asked my Mom to go to their office yesterday (Thursday) afternoon to give 2k DP(courtesy of my fiance he he he).

I still have to look for the perfect cupcake tree design though.
