Beauty School

This morning me and my husband went to the beauty school where i planned to attend for a nail tech study. I filled out some papers for the school and also they asked some of requirements like my SSN card, my green card and also my visa for identification. I will be starting my first day of school on monday and i am quiet excited and nervous at the same time. I am curious of everything that i will be doing for this nail tech studying. I need to take a 600 hours to finish the course. The schools opens at 8:30 until 5:00PM every mondays thru fridays. My husband will be the one to take me and pick me in school everyday coz i am not driving yet. But he will be having work at 4:00 PM so we thinking i will just leave school at 3pm each day until summer when his work schedules will be changed. The school allows me to atleast have 28 hours every week in school. Wish my luck for my study and will update more soon about it.

It's more than a month now since i am not writing anything for an update in this blog page. The last thing i write is about me being here in the state. Yes i am here now! I been here since December 22, 2009. Been busy meeting my husband's family and also adjusting my new life in the state. The weather is very cold for me as it's winter time and i am not use to it! It's snowing since the day i came here. I like the snow when i am just inside the house watching it coz it's beautiful! But i don't like the cold that it brings. I am happy living here with my husband eventhough it means that i will always feel cold snowy weather. I also learning how to cook and makes me glad that my husbands like what i am cooking.

Husband is learning

I attended CFO (Commission of Filipino Overseas) seminar in Cebu City last July 15, 2009. I posted about it in my other blogsite, "not only in the philippines". The seminar is mostly counselling and warnings to all Filipino women who are going outside the country, specifically to those who are petitioned by their foreign fiancees or spouses. They told us the risks and other things to be prepared to when going abroad. I told my husband about the said counselling. I told him that the nun (who were our counselor) asked us about each petitioner that we will be living with. The nun also asked if our husband/ fiancee do ever know words and sentences in our own dialect. And she challenge us to tell our husband/fiancee to learn our dialect and she added that if a husband/ fiancee can tell a story using our own language then he is surely inlove to us...hehe.. Well, after two weeks my husband just sent me today an email, and not just an ordinary email because he is using my dialect! (bisaya). And i am so amazed and very happy and of course very proud of what he did. Though not all the words he used were the exact words to be used but it's so romantic and makes me love him so much more..But to my husband, you still need to tell me a story when you go back here in Philippines in your next visit...I love you always and forever..

Check soon for more updates on my life....

Special Holiday for Schools

Tomorrow, February 23, 2009 is a special holiday for all the public and private schools as declared by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. This is in observance of the 23rd anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution.

What is EDSA?

The People Power Revolution (also known as the EDSA Revolution and the Philippine Revolution of 1986) was a series of nonviolent and prayerful mass street demonstrations in the Philippines that occurred in 1986. It is sometimes referred to as the Yellow Revolution due to the presence of yellow ribbons during the arrival of Ninoy Aquino. These protests were the culmination of a long resistance by the people against the 20-year running authoritarian regime of then current president Ferdinand Marcos and made news headlines as "the revolution that surprised the world". The majority of the demonstrations took place at Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, known more commonly by its acronym EDSA, in Quezon City, Metropolitan Manila and involved over 200,000 Filipino civilians as well as several political, military, and religious figures, such as Jaime Cardinal Sin. The protests, fueled by a resistance and opposition of years of corrupt governance by Marcos, occurred from February 22 to 25 in 1986, when Marcos fled Malacañang Palace to the United States and conceded to Corazon Aquino as President of the Philippines.

Get together

I mentioned on my other post about the forum, the world of filipinas that i am one of the member. We had a get together last day, February 16, 2008. The members who attended the said get together were from cagayan de oro city and Iligan city. One member who is also from Iligan City go with me to Xavier Estates, Cagayan de oro, where the gathering was held. We had so much fun knowing each other and sharing opinions about the forum topics and many more. I found new friends in them, though we are friends online but is not the same when you see them in person. Here are some photos captured on that day.

Today is February 14 and I want to greet everybody a happy valentine's day. Let us fill our hearts with TRUE LOVE for it is the only one that can HEAL the WORLD.

Forum

I been a member of an online forum, the world of filipinas. I found new friends online and just yesterday i met one of the member at a mall here in Iligan City. We enjoyed our meeting, we talked about some topics on the forum and also about our planned get-together. We will be having our get-together at Cagayan de Oro City with the forum members from Iligan City and also with the other members who will be back from the States with their husbands. I hope that the weather will be good on the 16th so that we will have a successful meeting.

Heart Month

Days are so fast! It was just like yesterday that we are celebrating Christmas, now is already the last day of January. Tomorrow is the first day of the Heart Month. I wish my gwapo baby is here to celebrate the coming Valentine's day. But i know my wish will come true though not this year but soon! I love you baby..

Shop Online

Almost everybody loves to shop, especially ladies. Shopping is the examining of goods or services from retailers with intent to purchase at that time. Shopping is the activity of selection and/or purchase. In some contexts it is considered a leisure activity as well as an economic one. To many, shopping is considered a recreational activity in which one visits a variety of stores in search of a suitable product to purchase like ladies accessories. "Window shopping" is an activity that shoppers engage in by browsing shops with no intent to purchase, possibly just to pass the time between other activities, or to plan a later purchase, or some wait for a clearance sale.
To some, shopping is a task of inconvenience and vexation. Shoppers sometimes go though great lengths to wait in long lines to buy popular products as typically observed with early adopter’s shoppers and holiday shoppers. With modern technology such as television and telephone and the Internet, users could be described as home shopping through online retail stores. Online shopping has completely redefined the way people make their buying decisions; they have access to a lot of information about a particular product which can be looked at and evaluated, at any given time. Shop.com website can help those online shoppers to find best deals in their shopping adventure.

Feel the Cold...

Iligan City is still have rain shower every now and then. For the past two to three days we experienced the sunshine in the morning but then in the afternoon rainfall is there again. It is cold every afternoon till the next morning because of continuous rain. The road here near at home is so muddy. I wish tomorrow sun will shine again!

Paying Post

Blogging has become so popular in recent years that literally millions of people are doing it, and with the state that the economy is in advertisers need to find new ways of showing their product to the masses. A marriage made in Heaven? Well maybe not heaven but internet heaven anyway. Need to make a little more money to get by or a little money to get that something extra? Blogging is also another way to earn online. Many bloggers if not all have the same goal with anybody who is working on the web, and it is to earn money. Bloggers like me can have extra income by doing blog advertising from payingpost.com. There are many websites that we can visit like the payingpost website on their blog marketing page. I learn this online post to pay website from an online friend. I registered yesterday and waited for their approval for my two blogs that I passed to them. Just today I received their email that my blogs was approved and I am now qualified to get opportunities to post from their advertisers. For all the bloggers who have not registered at PayingPost.com this would be the way you would want to go. After all you are already blogging, why not blog about something that can make you money?
