TODAY IS MY SPECIAL DAY!

....I AM NOW AN AMERICAN' CITIZEN!!! Am proud to be one' and so happy' finally, am done now with Immigration. I won`t deal any paper works anymore..yeheyy!..Ya, I took my Oath Taking this morning! My schedule time was 8 AM, yeah' so early, so we leave the house around 6 AM to be able to get there early as possible and avoid the traffic. We got there around 7 oclock +, the time we wanted. The sucurity guard opens the door at 8 AM but since we have kids' he let us in and got to sit in the bench inside while others people that has no kids have to stay outside and fall in line. I was sorry looking at them while we were sitting inside. I told my husband it`s good though that the guard let us in..good thought and I appreciate it. It could have been better if they let the rest of the people in ( few filipinos' came almost the same time we came) but it`s their rules and it wasn`t time yet, so I understand.. .So, `twas good thing we brought our kids with us hehheh! I could have been standing for a quite time and fall inline outside wahhh! surely was tiring! But, wasn`t that very long, at 8 AM doors were open..And wow! at this time, I was just visiting the bathroom pretty quick and then when I came out was surprised people are flooding already!..Surely, lots of people taking an Oath and also including the family and friends. Well, the Oath Ceremony wasn`t that long! it was good! But, my husband wasn`t able to take any picture of me during the Oath coz you know' he`s dealing 2 boys and not just that..Allen was making some fuss so my husband didn`t stay at the ceremony coz he has to go out. But before the ceremony my hubby took picture of me with the certificate and the U. S flag and I`ll see if it was good enough, was dark inside. After the ceremony inside , someone was good enough to take a picture of me, he saw that I took my picture myself then he said he can take pic of me so he did, thanks for him. When I came out from the theatre, I asked my husband to take me a picture again so I`ll see..There will be pictures to share below..To make the story short,. that was it! And, on our way home, kids fell asleep and I have helped my hubby driving a little bit coz he has no sleep yet when he got home from work early this morning at 3 oclock..can you imagine that! poor hubby! I was sorry for him. So, now, he is in good sleep..and kids are up now. Later, we plan to celebrate my special day. Might have dinner out..maybe in our favorite Asia Buffet. We are so happy, it`s finally done. My husband also congratulate me of course!. Also, you know, at the ceremony, we`ve got to watched President`s Bush' video message for us. He did congratulate us too, of course'. It was a good message from the President!......

Oh, finally, I can finish this post now coz earlier I had to stop coz we went out to eat..had dinner in our favorite Asia buffet. Just celebrate a simple one for my special day! I am now American but still filipino at heart and mind. But proud to be one! Well, I shouldn`t make this post even more long..here`s our pics at my ceremony..I took pictures and took since we were waiting the ceremony to start..not much to do..Hope you enjoy your viewing!

To let you know, my next step to do is to apply my U. S passport....
Then, I need to apply a Dual Citizen..so that I`ll be a Filipino Citizen again..it`s necessary for us..We`ll do it as soon as possible..at the same time we`re getting the boys a Phil. passport too..they`re already Dual Citizen! We`re going to the Phil. Embassy in Washington as soon as the paper works are ready. For now, am ordering my birth certificate yet online at Census site coz authenticated birth certificate is one of their requirements. I just done ordering it earlier..Hope it will be arrive the time it should be.

And, our serious project now is to move to our next house next door so that we can sell the house we are now living in. But, before that' there are lots of things needs to be done first. We need to do some repair to that house to live. So, our life should be pretty busy now these days. Am looking forward to go home this year, hopefully! So we need to keep up!..Ok, guys, this is all for now..sensya na taas kaau akong post..take care everyone and thanks to all girls who left comments here..always appreciated! God bless us all and God bless America!

Have a goodnight everyone!!!

Well, today is Wednesday and I decided to just add my tag here from Jenny. Actually, Jona has tagged me the same thing also..So, girls, Thanks for tagging me..I appreciate it.

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves.
People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1.) I don`t cook always..only when am in the mood. When am lazy to cook, I just asked hubby to order food at Chinese Resto. Since the boys loves to eat the food from the resto anyway..

2.) When I don`t get any call from my close friends, I feel they`re forgetting me heheh.

3.) I am so dependent with my husband...specially driving in downtown. That was why everytime I got an Immigration appointment, he always drive for me and didn`t get any sleep at all. Til we got back home he`d catch up his sleep. I always feel him sorry but he is just understanding husband. But, there is no Immigration appointment anymore'..good for us!

4.) I feel so contended and happy when I talked my family back home for a long time..the longer I talked to them is like 1 to 2 hrs. As long as I still have load in my long distance service, it`s ok'. And the hardest word to say is goodbye...

5.) I am jealous person' but in the right way.

6.) When I was a kid, I wanted to be a teacher!. But when I went to college I took up Associate of Computer Technology. How come? One of the reasons: my sister kept advicing me that computer course is good for me. Since it was a demand course and I can get job easily. Unlike the teacher that you have to wait when there is available so you can teach. And, we heard that there are some teachers who passed the board but they are just working in the department store. So I have chosen studying computer course but not able to finished it, only one year and half because I got married with my husband...But no regret at all. Now, I have two tropies! heheh I can still finish studies whenever I want to... that`s my husband always telling me too..when we move in pinas! But I don`t know yet...We`ll see!

7.) When we go to a buffet, I always let hubby eat my left over food in the plate. I just get full very quick! My eyes is bigger than my stomach heheh..Thought I can finish it all but I can`t. And my husband do not want to waste food so he`d eat it as long as he is able to do so...poor hubby!>
