Tuesday: Cannot forget the seatbelt or the car will keep nagging me!! :p

An entire week has passed by so quickly. And so far, I have been enjoying every minute of it. I've been toured all over Orlando and visited my cousin in a nearby town. Although J works 12 hours straight and I'm left at our room to sleep alone at night, I've never felt homesickness yet. (And I hope I won't ever!) Yes, constant prayer and devotion to the Holy Rosary really works.

So what keeps me busy? Well eating mostly! :p But seriously, I'm trying to practice being a housewife. Back at home, I'm actually a princess getting all the help from a house maid. But here in Orlando, I do all manual labor at home. It was my first time in a very long time to wash the dishes, clean the bathroom, arrange my closet and keeping our room smelling fresh and looking organize and I never thought I could do all those. But this blog entry is not for all of you to get bored knowing what you normally do at home that I'm just starting to learn. This will be a blast from the past (uhmm more likely a blast of the entire week that passed by).

Clock shopping at WalMart but no, we still don't have a clock! :p

Friday: J stealing a kiss :p

My J turning 25 :) Saturday: The next day, we headed to Universal Studios.

You know how it is when it's almost the end of your shift and you're just waiting for the last one minute before you can clock out? And like you're waiting to cross the world for that one last minute and it seems like it just doesn't want to come? Like every second is so painfully slow? I've always called it "the longest one minute!" That's kind of how I feel right now and J is warping into that feeling too!

See what's happening is that lately we've been feeling like we miss each other a lot more. I guess it's a mixed of emotions.. of longing to be together and excitement. Sometimes we need to keep reminding each other that we're almost there. We're almost at the end of our goal. A goal that took 7 months to complete. And today, it's just 42 days away! :)

Just got home from church and the priest on his homily said, "'Di nauubusan ng biyaya ang mundo!" (The world doesn't run out of blessings.) With what has been happening with my life, I am so giving the statement a two thumbs up! Why? Simply, because it's so true. I feel like for the past months, the world has been pouring all its love on me. There's just so many things to be thankful for like: how planning our wedding is getting easier by the day, how my sister is days away from taking her oath to be a Canadian citizen therefore not needing her own US visa to travel to Florida (less money to spend yay!), how my dad's interview date for his own visa is just around the corner and all the paperworks that we need are coming together and how J (after waiting for so long) already signed a lease to our new apartment! :) I know life will get better as J and I are only 50 days from being reunited... how exciting! :D

And the countdown continues today making it 58 days before I leave Manila.

Yes, I know I have not been updating you guys but heck my job is keeping me asleep at mornings! :p But I'm not complaining, my job has been giving me a lot of good vibes lately. :) So what's been happening?



Friday || 05 November 
Google.com has released a version of their page where you can personalize it! But sadly, it doesn't work if you have a Philippine IP address. But here, look at what J did for his. :)
This was a photo taken while we were watching the sunrise at our hotel balcony in Tagaytay. This was taken using J's camera set in a 10-second timer. It doesn't show, but we were wearing matching Nike running jackets that I love love love. :)



Saturday || 13 November  
This is what's keeping me busy, work work work but all fun fun fun! Once I leave, I'm sure gonna miss the people I've been working with and the job itself. And yes, my hair is getting really long. ;)



Friday || 19 November
And this last update is what I'm so excited about. We just ordered our wedding invitations online! I wanted to do it by myself but I just don't have enough time to spare at the moment. So I found this great website online which offers inexpensive personalized invitations. I've read great reviews for Wedding Paper Divas and I can't wait to see the final output of our own invites. :) It's a really simple postcard type of invitation since we're only doing an intimate civil wedding. I will be sharing some pictures once J receives it by end of this month but for now here's the back part of the invitation which I'm inviting you to read. It's like a 3-sentence summary of our entire love story! :p

It's been hard for me lately to update this blog and I apologize for that. Nothing much is new besides the fact that I've survived a week of grammar school and I have one last week to go. And let me say, I've learned a lot and excited to learn more. :)

Last Sunday, I twitted that I was all over Tagaytay. Well a close of friend mine, Loo, will be leaving for Australia by the end of this month and having lunch at Sonya's Garden was part of his going-away party. But that didn't end there. We went all the way to Calaruega, drank coffee at Bag of Beans and lastly had dinner at Leslie's. Saying that I got so tired was an understatement. But I had so much fun laughing at random jokes and stuffing my face with too much food! :p I wonder what will happen this weekend? Hmm. :)

eBay is just heaven! A new passport cover for $6.99 was J's new purchase -- and it's for me. Isn't it cute? :)

I'm one of those unlucky ones who are allergic to shrimps. But I couldn't say no to my high school friends who were celebrating their birthdays. We had a blast at Polu Kai at Serendra last Sunday, eating a lot of fried shrimps! I needed to drink a tablet of antihistamine for this one. :) I finished just 22 shrimps but I've also had steak and chicken with rice so not bad, huh?
