My World of Life’s Adventures

Last Wednesday (Veteran’s Day) we got the chance to hang out with our cousin (actually hubby’s first cousin) who happened to visit us here in Maryland all the way from Washington D.C. where she currently works as a foreign service officer trainee. They had holiday off on Veteran’s Day, so she decided to come over and see us. Although it was raining the entire day, the rain didn’t stop us from hanging around our area, and had a late lunch together as well :).

Hopefully, Tanya will soon to be a US diplomat…a rare job only smart people can get through (as hubby would say). She really deserves to be one!  She speaks many languages and well-travelled, what can we say? {wink}. I would always both compliment them that their family is a generation of smart and intellectual people, and they would both be smiling lol! It’s a fact they couldn’t deny…they have high education and degrees, with good stable jobs!

We are getting excited to be witnessing her “Flag Day” ceremony on the 23rd of this month in D.C., because this will be the day she would know what country will she be going to. She said it’s exciting but at the same time a bit tensed! Anyway, that’s basically how her job would revolve in the first place. She loves the job and she’s almost there!

Thanks for the wonderful time with us, Tanya! As always, our home is open for you when you feel like visiting us ;).

God bless you!

What could I say? Time flies so fast, and now it’s thanksgiving month and my birthday month! {grins}…I would always tell hubby, right after my natal day, everything would all be christmas preparations…shopping, decorations (which means I’ll have to carry a 90-pound christmas tree back inside for set up and decorations), and of course my fave….gift wrapping :).

But let me set aside talking about christmas for a while. I love the thanksgiving celebration. But for me, it’s always a daily routine saying my thanks to Him up there. There are many things we should be thankful for. There are always blessings being given to us, big or small. Sometimes, there are pains that we have to go through yet it’s a blessing.  Well, some might not agree, but if you’re sensitive to what God is telling you, you’ll certainly understand.

Have a happy advance Thanksgiving, everyone! Count your blessings always and be thankful! That’s God-pleasing! :).

Last night, we started carving one pumpkin for our jack o’lantern :). I was thinking it’s a bit hard to do the carving, but it was done in a few minutes. We are not good in designing faces, so it’s just the usual jack o’lantern with missing teeth! LOL! We put a scented candle inside and took photo. Not bad! I’ll set this aside for the Halloween on our doorstep. I bet there will be more kids running around the neighborhood for their trick or treat. I am not big in this event, but kids will be knocking on our door for sure!

I am suppose to post this update earlier, but anyway, better late than never :). So, last Saturday, my fingerprint appointment was done. This is a requirement for my citizenship application which I submitted last September 18, ‘09.

My schedule was at 3pm, and it was cold and rainy that day. Since it was Saturday, we didn’t have to worry about parking. Thank God, Baltimore wasn’t that busy. When I arrived at the center, there were only a couple of people there. It wasn’t even 3 o’clock yet, but the lady at the counter allowed me to go ahead and fill up the form. At 2:15pm, my number was called and I was done at 2:20pm. How cool is that? hehehe…

My only concern is the possibility of a retake. Sometimes, there are instances that FBI can’t read the fingerprints, so they send notices for a retake. Now, that would be a hassle! I am praying there should be no more retakes!

It’s just a relief to see that at least the process is moving. I’m almost there. I would be much, much more relieved to get all the immigration things completely done once I’m through with the citizenship and get my US passport…God willing!
