TV Interview...again!?

Yesterday, me & two co-workers of mine went to NBN Channel 4 for them to feature us on their "Morning Show". The plan was only one was supposed to be interviewed & it was supposed to be Perla, our head of staff. Michael & I was the one who was supposed to assist her. And so we did. But because she was so nervous, she asked the producer if they could include me also in the interview. She said she couldn't do it alone. And so they did. I got my second chance to be featured in an interview. But this was different...this was live.

My first "15 minutes" of fame was when I was interviewed by Pia Archangel for 24 Oras. I was on for like a minute only. I even sent my Pineapple a copy of that. Now, here is another one of those things I can put on my list of experiences. Even speaking in front of hundreds of people. I had to give a speech for the Senior Citizen of Pasay City. It was really scary yet I succeeded in doing it. On this show, we were on for like 15 minutes but it felt like it was so fast.

Hopefully this will not be the last exciting thing I get to do with whatever job I find in the future. I hate my forehead on these pictures. LOL!

89 days to go

We are counting down until the day of my departure from my home country. With work, the upcoming medical & interview, and the preparation for the wedding is making me super occupied about other stuff. It's only less than three months left and I am feeling the stress. Good thing I got a good advice from my future mother-in-law that I should take Iron pills together with my vitamins. With all these things in front of me...I am so looking forward to stepping out of the airport of Los Angeles on September 1 and seeing my Pineapple from across the room who have come to pick me up and welcome my arrival.

I am overwhelmed and yet I am so glad that this is going to be over soon & me & my Pineapple will be able to lie in bed side by side and relax. Most importantly finally be able to have a very good night's sleep. But while we are still not together physically, we are trying to do our best to get things organized before we finally get to hold each other and be together forever. It's going to be bittersweet when that day comes. I am now starting to feel sad about leaving my family behind. The fact that we will get to communicate every single day through the internet & webcam. Thank goodness they invented the internet, chatting & texting!!!

A new chapter in my life is about to start soon...my life with my Pineapple becoming one.
