At long last...after 81 days!!!!

After getting excited then frustrated then depressed and at the brink of going insane...our awaited approval finally arrived. I was happy to see our petition was touched by someone already. And then after, no news...I got depressed again...and impatient.ha ha ha! My co-workers keep telling me that maybe there are far greater plans why we have not gotten any news from them yet. And they were right. We did not get the "email" saying we were approved and that a receipt was sent out to us already...but instead, we got the receipt itself! And it was the same day our petition was touched by the government.

Right now we are looking at roughly around 4 months for an interview schedule, finally!

When my Pineapple sent me a scanned copy of our NOA2, and when I saw it...I got so excited and happy that I cried. Even one of my co-worker got weepy.

Thank God! Finally...on to the next step. One big step closer to...FOREVER!!!!

Depressed

Yesterday I was feeling so upset and pissed off by the slow work being done in our service center. Today I am feeling so depressed. I so want to cry so hard until I couldn't cry anymore. Add to that how much I want to be with my Pineapple. I want to hug him, and kiss him, and make love to him. I miss him terribly. I feel like I am going insane. I want to run to him but it's obvious that it's not possible. He is so far away from where I am right now. When the day comes that we finally are together permanently I will not let any day goes by with out him knowing I love him so much. Being away from each other hurts so much. And not knowing the exact date that we will be in each other's arms is torture.

I don't know what to do so I could overcome this depression I am feeling right now. I want to eat lots of foods...that's what I do to release tension...but I can't right now since I don't have any money left to buy anything I am craving for.

It sucks BIG TIME! I want to be with my Pineapple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Venting out!

It's been 70 days from our date of receipt. We are so frustrated and yet still trying to wait patiently for our approval. We are so wanting to get our 2nd notice so that we can prepare ourselves for the next step...the longest wait ever for us -- the interview date! Being away from each other is very very hard. We are drawing strength from our love for each other. Knowing that this will all be worth it after all these waiting is done. We will finally be together FOREVER.

Right now, we just try and get busy with our jobs and spending time with our families and friends. Especially me, when it's time for me to come fly to my Pineapple's country, the time when I will be able to see my family and friends again will be uncertain. We will not know when we will be able to come fly back here to the Philippines. So I am really enjoying my time with them, while I still have plenty of time. Also, I am trying to save up money to help out some how in some way with the expenses my Pineapple will be having when our interview comes.

Work sucks real bad right now...I so want to stranggle my boss. I don't understand what he wants from me (He is Korean). He keeps talking to me in Korean. And we both couldnt understand each other.My manager translate things for us but she is being lazy.

CSC...please approve our NOA2 already. I am going crazy!!!!!

Our Little Fan

I was just being lazy and watching television...when I glanced at this little appliances I have. The little fan that my Pineapple and I bought when he was here on his vacation.

Here is the story of this little fan:
On my Pineapple's first night here, in our hotel room. Even if the air-conditioner was on and blasting high, we both didn't get a very good sleep. We were tossing and turning in bed. The next day we talked about how there was something missing why we didn't get a good night's sleep. My Pineapple cannot live without his fans. And I am not used to not having air blowing at me too. So we decided that we will go to the mall to find one. At the mall, at the appliance center, we looked for the fan department. There it was...this little plastic fan. Perfect! It was light and small enough to fit in our luggage. Yes, you heard it right! Luggage! So that night, we had a very good night's sleep. We slept like babies!

The next day we were suppose to fly to Boracay. And yes, we plan to take our little fan with us. This little thing was very useful to us. It had been to Makati City. Had also flown to Boracay. It flew back to Manila and came with us to Subic Bay. And then off to Manila City. This little fan had been to places. Whenever I look at it, I think about all the wonderful time me & my Pineapple had together. It saw us argue about something...it saw us laugh and be silly with each other...it had seen other things we were doing too (but I won't say what it was). HA HA HA! This little fan had seen the most important event in both our lives...my Pineapple's proposal!!! And I think I want to bring this itty bitty thing with me when I come fly and be with my Pineapple forever. I want it to see us be reunited.

One Year Anniversay! (At work that is)

I can't believe that it has been a year already since I first started at this job. I am presently working at Nuga Best Greenhills Branch. It is a Korean company that offers free treatment/use of our Thermo-Acupressure Therapy machine.

As I clearly remember, the reason I applied for this job was to prove myself to my Pineapple. I was very apprehensive to even apply for this job because they said it's "demo sales". And the image that popped into my mind were those people at malls (SM) using those loud mics and doing demonstrations (and sometimes just talking to him/herself). And I don't want to do those kinds of things. But still I sent my resume. And luckily, I was one of the pioneers of this company. Now...it's been a year. My very first job! We literally have started this company from scratch. we were the ones who assembled all the machines being used by our clients. It was trial and error when it comes to the rules and regulations for our clients...still is.

The anniversary party was a sucess. Although some were so "hungry", i think. That they were sneaky enough to get many food stubs. Some clients got hungry waiting for their turn. The program was nice...some awards were given, some got carried away and got weepy, and ofcourse I am sure everyone had fun. Some sang, some dances...the staffs also danced. I gave a presntation about the beginning until now. It was an overall sucess. And we gave away t-shirts.

Nuga Best here in the Philippines will not have gotten this much clients if it wasn't for us "pioneers" giving away flyers at the nearby Greenhills Shopping Center. Branches have opened, owners & management have changed, co-worker's have come and go but I am still here. I am currently looking for a temporary job while I am waiting for our visa petition to be approved. But I know that because of working here...I have gained and learned so much. I love the elderly people we give free service to. That is why I am thinking of maybe taking up a teaching course or maybe go into elderly care profession when I am finally with my Pineapple King.

RAW

It's not the "raw" you are thinking about...it's not RAW foods but RAW from WWE. February 25th, 2006, me, my mom, my aunt, my brother, my two sisters and my 2 little cousins went and watched a wrestling match held at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Q.C. The tickets were part of my birthday gift by my Pineapple. We went there and had so much fun. I went there because Mick Foley was going to be fighting. The conflict happen when I found out that Carlito will be fighting against Mick Foley. You see, I promised my Pineapple that I will cheer for Carlito even if he plays bad guy there. So I did screamed so loudly when he came out. But when I suddenly heard Mick Foley's music, I lost it and just said forget about Carlito.HA HA HA! I screamed my lungs out cheering for Mick. And the poor guys in front of me were covering their ears so hard just to not hear me scream. I literally almost peed in my pants from screaming so loud. I know, I know...this kind of wrestling is just acting. But there are people who gets hurt doing this kind of job.

My other kid cousin was supposed to come with us but backed-out a day before the fight. So I still bought her a shirt...which was like mine (small, kids size). I also bought shirts for my other two cousins who went with us. I think us adults had more fun than the two kids. We were like jumping up and down when our bets won. Even my mom kept on cheering.

After wrestling, I promised everyone that we will go out for dinner too. So before we go, we had to drive by our ouse first and get some stuff. My grandmother and 2 younger cousin also came with us. We went to KFC. We were so loud there, even if we are just talking to each other.


After dinner, we had to go drop by my 2 cousins at their house. And it was another opportunity to take pictures. We had so much fun. We hoped my Pineapple would have been able to come. For sure it will be more fun if he was there. I told my Pineapple that he better take me out to a wrestling match once I am there in the US. He said he would love to...and that it won't just be wrestling we will go see but other sports as well.
