Merry Christmas ♥

Sooo it's Christmas time and the more I miss Philippines badly. I miss how Pinoys celebrate the Christmas.  Visiting relatives' and friends' house then makikitikim ng salad and mamamasko. There are others who may be hiding from their godchildren though lol! Also, the energy of he  partey! parteey! is superb! Oh speaking of which, I love the facebook photos of my friends having fun here and there. I can't do nothing but to wish I'm also there rocking the table and having kampay with them hahaha! I still vividly remember those days having a blast and the best part is being with my family on Christmas eve staying awake 'till morning. Sharing the must have pancit and biko, drinking wine, plus a mighty tuba as a reserve hahahaha! Was the best! Ahhh it will never be the same celebrating Christmas away from home but it doesn't mean it will make me less happy celebrating Christmas with my husband here in the US. What matters most is that the true meaning of this holiday is in our heart!

To my family I wish nothing but the best for you guys! May His love fill your heart with Joy and Peace this Christmas and each day of the year to come. I ♥ you guys!

To my friends may all of you have an awesome holiday!

Lastly I pray for the people of Iligan and CDO that may this Christmas  be the new beginning of a beautiful tomorrow for everyone!

To all Feliz Navidad!!!

Weekdays' Marathon

countin the days ;)

Days gone by pretty fast, I barely notice it's TGIF again. I was hooked watching Nikita Season 1 TV show streaming in Netflix (nice chemistry of Maggie Q & Shane West). Obviously, it temporarily occupied my days enough. Thanks goodness done with the 22 episodes during weekdays,(I want my weekend unoccupied with such you know... :p).Well here's why... while there's no much difference actually between weekdays and weekends. It's just the latter gives me and hubby enough bonding time together and it's enough reason to excite me to look forward to it always without any other interruptions.

On the other hand, just to give some update about my Biometrics appointment, it was a breeze.Was a short drive from our place and fortunately, there was no line when we arrived there, so it just took me 5 to 10 minutes for fingers scanning and photograph. Staffs at USCIS  local office in Hackensack NJ were all nice. In fact the guard and hubby had a good short talk while I was getting my stuff done. Nice huh I really feel that am getting close having my Employment Authorization and Green Card on hand.  For the meantime just wanna seize the moment of not having an alarm clock every morning.

On the same day (Wed 11/3) we went more shopping for winter clothes at Macy's which by the way we  really had a good dealtat as always. Thanks to Macy's Coupons for their members. And oh I love going to shop on weekdays while people are busy in their office working. It sure is an advantage for a smoother transaction such as no lines in the fitting room nor when checking out. Thus it saves our time. So after shopping we headed at Grandma's place right on time for delicious dinner. Loved it!

Yay! Just like back in Pinas

Centura tuna and Nova = tasty snack!

I have been missing one of my favorite canned tuna from Philippines... well not anymore. Thanks Mr. Google who led me to Phil-Am store website. This store caters almost all Filipino goods which is great! So without having a second thought, we placed our order online last Thursday night and received the goods today (Saturday) lunchtime.Yay! Nice service for me, the $12 shipping fee is worth it.

Thanks goodness my hubby likes Century Tuna also! Will definitely purchase again ;). Happy to discover this Filipino store it helped me feel not far from my homeland. To all Pinoys out there check their website out, they got varieties of Filipino Goodies just like SM Hypermarket.


p.s it's snowing right now while im writing this ♥ it!

Edit: We received a thank you gift from Phil-am store after posting the package delivery picture  linked to this blog in their fan page wall. So nice of them sending us 9 different tuna flavors :D. Much appreciated. Thank you guys!

My First Credit/Debit Card...in US

I personally preferred MasterCard ;)

Here in the United States, establishing a good credit is highly important. In the future whenever you plan to purchase a car, house etc. the company will run through your credit record first to verify if you're a good payer before you hear any approval from them. Fortunately, it is not that terribly difficult to build a good one. One of the easiest way I know is by obtaining a secured credit card or riding on your husband's (being added as authorized user) and that's what we did.

Few days ago I got my first Debit/Credit card issued under my married name. I still am not used to seeing my new official name in my ID/Card though haha! Way to go for online shopping? Oppss! Certainly not unless otherwise with hubby's go signal. I'm not earning my own money yet. Hence, restrictions applied which I happily agreed with.

Actually sometimes I'm an impulsive buyer but it rarely happens, only if when a certain item really drove me crazy to the point that I know what will happen if am not gonna go for it -  will result to a sleepless night! Other than that, I consider myself as a responsible spender. I would always do the math before swiping my card way back in Pinas and will absolutely do the same thing here. Well, neither among responsible spenders wanna bite more than they can chew thats for sure.

Getting NJ State ID

Guess what?..I got my first ever United States government ID.  I know there's no big deal..well actually it is for me! It unlocks lots of business transactions, example is when opening a bank account  (some banks are too picky, if you're a new immigrant, they would ask for a State ID aside from Passport and SSN card). So, here's the lil drama that we went through over the process...

Last Saturday, Hubby and I tried to get me a State ID but unfortunately it was unsuccessful due to some lame reasons that the lady from State of New Jersey MVC told us. Despite of presented to her my Passport with attached valid I-94, K-1 Visa, SSN card, Married Cert., first class mail from USCIS and a bill that's under my name, she was not satisfied still. Instead she told me afterwards that I need to get my Biometrics with USCIS done first then come back later. Hmm I guess this is more likely to happen to new Immigrants with pending Adjustment of Status for Permanent Residency. We told her that our case is in process already but she wouldn't want to consider it. Apparently, we don't have much choice that time but to leave the office. We don't wanna discuss more that time because we forgot to print what's stated in their website about the requirements (which I supposed they should know) though I vividly remember I have met their 6 pt. ID Verification when I took it online. Ugghh! if only I wasn't too confident that these people who work for NJ MVC knew what they're doing, I should have brought the validation note from their website. My bad, well lesson learnt. Never assumed!

Anyhow, what happened didn't stop our plan to come back this morning...we arrived around 9am and there was a short line outside the office already. I really don't mind falling in line, I kind of used to it in Pinas so while others' started to get annoyed I enjoyed the cold breeze :P. Few minutes later we're inside. We presented same documents we had last Saturday to a black lady and as expected confusion drew to her face while reviewing my requirements. At this time we shown her the printed confirmation from their website but oh boy she still wouldn't want to trust it. Geeezz what's up with that? She let us seated while she go spoke to her supervisor for like 20-30 minutes. It made me think is my case that rare or it's them who's not doin their assignment? Maybe it's in that branch only. Whatever it is, we were hoping for a positive outcome. Oh Speaking of positivity her she is walking slowly as if nobody is waiting, but at least we're right she told us we are good to go for the next step. Alright, so we proceeded to another counter for photograph and thanks goodness this time the lady did her job swiftly.

After the not so smooth transaction we had, nonetheless we leave the MVC office happy especially me having my NJ State ID on hand :D. Then, we went to Asian Grill to have our lunch with hubby's best friend, enjoyed their delicious foods as usual and afterwards we went to Starbucks and enjoyed our Frappe ;)! Ended great! yeah!

To those with pending case AOS status and want to get a State ID, I wish you guys to have a pleasant experience at your State's Motor Vehicle Commission.

Biometrics Appointment

Had a good news yesterday, I got my Biometrics notice from USCIS for November 2 appointment (roughly a month after their acceptance date) at their local office in Hackensack NJ and guess what?..its pretty close to our place so it's a bonus! lol ;).  I was worried the last few days coz every time I checked my case status in the USCIS website it prompted a "case not found" message, ugghh the website is unreliable. I'm guessing it under maintenance.  I would no longer rely on the website itself henceforth  to save myself from any anxious feeling that would haunt me, especially after reading in some forum about case that got lost and was just back on track after week-months more of waiting game. I thought it's better to call 'em.  Well now it's exciting for me knowing that my AOS and EAD application is on track. So am feeling lucky that my case is moving and I'm hoping for a smooth journey likewise to other AOS Filers.

Busybusyhan...routine



Ayos for me!!!

I often encounter questions from friends if what I'm up to these days especially when home alone...and here it is........

Due to my overflowing free time (which I need to enjoy and take advantage of for the meantime while I am not working yet), I thought of writing on what's going on me here in the U.S. when my hubby is at work (for my funny note to look back in the future na rin). Soo where would I start?....Hmm I should say in my two months of existence here in NJ, the major, major things I do were all for a lazy mee..LOL! Seriously, I usually got up a bit late in the morning, but of course when my husband leaves for work I am literally awake to say bye bye plus a hug and a kiss then I rest some more hehe! Mike  usually grab just a tea for breakfast which by the way I do the same thing so no cooking for us mostly on weekday mornings (but would be working on cooking the Mayo way soon..). I know what you're thinking fellas, by now I should be cooking already but as I said I'm workin on it already, in fact I'm cooking my own lunch and it's pretty much tasty for me. Anyway in the  morning, there are things that make my butt moving and do some exercise such as the XBOX 360 and Ab-coaster, the latter gave me muscles pain on my first day though. I know it's a good sign coz meaning to say my body is responding to the exercise. Apparently, including these things in my routine help me not gain nor feel weak. Oh before I forgot, I also have this one good exercise, cleaning the house (I call it IndayMode hehe). So there, my morning done swiftly  and now here comes my noon time....I watch movies on Netflix, browsing some job sites for future reference, talk to my Fb friends and family back in Pinas hmm sounds busy huh! By the way in between of those mentioned activities  hubby and I chat also just to update and say we l♥ve and missed each other already aww sweet :P. Before we knew it, our day is over and while Mike is on his way home I get ready the raw foods and we cook it together (more his way though) ahhh it's absolutely fun!

So far this is my weekdays' routine, pretty simple but I consider it busy as in busybusyhan lol! Maybe kind of boring to others  but I don't give it a damn in fact I feel pretty darn good finding ways not to feel the homesick thing and I somehow managed it the way I want it! Plus I tried to blog even if  I'm not a pro.  Isn't it good yea?

Alright! have a good routine folks!

p.s my weekend is a different story :P often it's incredibly awesome....well for me! ;)

For having my nice friends, family and my husband who never fails to amaze me in his simple ways. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL! 

So people smile for  God has nothing but the best for everyone.

Resume-The American way?

Good book and helpful specially to first timer here like me :)

So I started workin' on my resume slowly (in preparation for a mad job searching once I get my Employment Authorization) - the American way, yes there's quite difference compare to what I'm used to way back in Pinas. For example, here it's not necessary to attached photo on resume, putting basic personal infos like marital status, age, height etc. rather it is a straight forward type focusing on your skill, qualifications and experience. I have had heads up regarding on this already though, since my Hubby shown his before. Still it's a bit odd to me. I kept bugging my husband to fix my resume for me but he would just say it's too early for me to worry about it and that He is not pressuring me to find one. He just assured me ones AOS (Adjustment of Status) paper works done we will work on my CV. I would just agree but in my mind I always have ideas and want to start fixing it step by step now. While I am laying on bed, I saw one of his books titled " Resumes to get you Hired by: Jack McCarthy" I'm like great! I can now start doing it myself. Right then and there I grabbed the book, opened my laptop and start editing my resume. Good thing about this book aside from the great advices and tips of the author is that, it also has over 350 sample resumes on different fields. So, I just actually need to  pattern it on specific position I am applying for. By now, I am half way through and I'm happy how it look thus far. Of course I would still show it to hubby for final touches ones done. I'm just hoping and praying it wouldn't be that long to find job and that the luck will be with me. Yea! Positive vibes!

Weekend Shopping

Hot leather gloves. Perfect for Winter ;)

I had a nice time last weekend, hubby and I went to Macy's, Palisades Mall NY to complete my winter gears. We bought few winter jackets from North Face and Michael Kors. I'm glad they both have my size XS/P. I actually was worried about the availability of my size (I'm petite, my friends used to tease me to go shoppin' at children's section lol!). Anyway, as we continue shopping, a middle aged woman cashier approached us and suggested their best buys. Hmm the way she talked I could tell she is a Filipina plus her features. I just withheld myself asking her coz I'm a bit shy. So what happened, she introduced herself to us and I was right she's from Cebu City (I guessed the feeling is mutual, she knew it Pinay din ako hehe). Cool, we did some chitchats while hubby is looking for a good scarf (yeah hubby played a mother role to me also lol! But i thought it's sweet.) She invited us to attend an event/Filipino gathering this coming Saturday, 9/24 at Spring Valley. It excites me thinking that I would be meeting more Filipinos on that gathering, would be a good start to make new friends and start networking. Everything seems perfect except for it's Dad's (Mike's Dad) Bday celebration so I feel bad I would be missing such opportunity. Oh well, I'm still happy I met Tita Fe,(that's her name) we exchanged nos. and for sure there would be more Fil. Gathering on the list!

Filing SSN

Few days ago, Me and hubby went to Cliffton SSA office to get  my SSN. There were few people on the waiting area but most of them are for benefit claim. I filled up the form and after like 5 mins. my no. was called. We were assited by a nice american-indian guy. He took my Passport and checked my attached I-94, Marriage Cert. He typed my info in his computer and after couple of mins He asked me to double check the infos and that's it we're done! He gave me a letter stating that within 2 weeks my SSN card will be mailed to our address. To  my surprise I got my mailed SSN card already just today (took only 4 days)! Yay!Thanks God! We're almost there - submitting the AOS.

So the requirements are (for K1 Visa Holder) :
Passport
Valid I-94
Marriage Certificate (if Married already); A K-1 visa holder may also apply for SSN prior their wedding day and go back to the SSA once married already to update her name.

NJ Civil Surgeon

On the day after our wedding, Me and hubby went to see a Civil Surgeon for my medical requirement/ I-693 completion. We found one nearby our place and there we met Dr. Jaroslaw Pondo, MD of  Rutherford, NJ. He did asked me few questions about my medical history. By the way, i brought with me the CD X-Ray and vaccines records, the ones that is given to me by St. Luke's Med as my personal copy. Dr. Pondo reviewed my records and told us that all vaccines were met but I still need to do CBD test since I don't remember if I have done it before. He also extracted blood sample for some additional testing (forgot whats the term). It was done quick. On Wednesday Sept. 14, we went back to the office to get the result and thanks God was negative and there's no need for me to undergo X-Ray because the bumps of CBD test is 4mm (law requires to undergo an X-Ray 5mm and up)We paid $175 total. Yay! we got our sealed I-693 already. Over all it was a nice experience and we're happy we met a nice Civil Surgeon, to those who are interested and in need here's his ofc contact # (201) 896-0050 .

Bye Bye Single Life

So finally, I am officially Mrs. Benis now. I arrived here in the USA last Aug 11, 2011 on a K-1 Visa. We got married on Sept 11, 2011 at 2pm (exactly 1 month from the date of my arrival). I know, I know 9/11 is one of the worst tragedies in history.  Well, for me great things happen on that date and one of those is my wedding. It is the most special day of my life filled with love and fulfilment, that finally I am legally married to my one and only man of my life. Hmmm plus a bonus, right after the ceremony we got our Marriage Certificate on hand.Great! we need not to wait it be mailed to us. Now, I am living happily together with my husband. Praying to Almighty God to blessed and guide our new journey together. Life is awesome!

Weather weather lang yan

I'm excited to experience the different weather conditions here in the United States. It was summer when I arrived here, mid August. Days gone fast and I am looking forward to see trees transformed its color from green to red and brown as fall season comes in a couple or a week from now. In fact, I can feel the cold breeze already. I dunno how would I feel when Winter comes though, aside from feelin' cold. Ha ha! But I don't worry, I think it would be nice as long as I am completely geared up with nice warm clothes and boots. So, Winter please be gentle and don't worry we will take lots of picture together. He he!

nice color isn't it? :)

upon staring in this pic i feel cold lol!

PNOY's (SONA)State of the Nation Address 2011

I watched PNOY SONA via live streaming of ANC today 4pm. I am the type of person that interests in economy and politics lots especially when it comes to our  beloved country Philippines. I was impressed how Pres. Noynoy delivered his speech, He has so much more confidence and authority when speaking publicly, compared to a year ago. He showed confidence in every words he spoken and the choice of words He used are quite simple, hence, for this reason I shall have to say that every Juan could perfectly understand without doubting what PNOY is referring to. Thus, it makes Him a good public speaker plus He has not have any paper in hand to look at during his one hour SONA. Seriously, I don't see any reason why would a Phil. SONA be in English where in fact it's not our National Language. For me, the simpler, the better. Well it's not the only reason why I like His speech. I like it because it's substantial, I like the plans I hear about corruption, education, transport, and environment. Also, knowing that we had 4 upgrades from the World credit Company is a big factor. These are only few of good things He accomplished for a year.


I know In spite of all the positive outcome of PNOY's first year in service, there would always be lots of Criticisms. In this SONA proves the saying " Damned if you do and damned if you don't" well this applies to everybody regardless who you are in the society. I just wish there would be miracle for all the Crocs in the Government to grow their conscience magically, for sure our country will rise faster.


I hope and pray that every Filipino will cooperate rather than keep complaining and blaming anybody for in the end it still us the Filipino Citizens who will reap what we sow. We need to unify not to divide! Godbless Pilipinas and it's people!

Bonding moment

I had a good time with my bezy and new girlfriends the other day. We watched transformers: Dark of the Moon  and I should say it was awesome! It's special effects — and 3D shots — are undeniably impressive! For me it's worth the pay plus Shia LaBeouf is charming. We liked the movie and it was such a nice bonding moment with my friends too.

Avoiding & Controlling Negative Emotions

Some of my ways in controlling towards negative emotions particularly when you're annoyed.

• Ignore the person as if S/he doesn't exists lol. If s/he is talking in front of you make an excuse like : you need to you go to washroom, you need to make a call urgent, you need to go while no heavy traffic yet etc. etc.
• Drink a glass of water, this may help you cool down.
• Do funny thoughts (this really helps for me haha!)
• Think positive, no matter what, s/he will stop talking when get tired.
• Don't argue, this will make the conversation long. Let him/her do the talking just smile if you still can mange, if can't show a tired facial expression.
• Lastly, inhale and exhale and say a little prayer to brighten up of you mind.

Try it and feel the difference.

Welcome July!

I'm so thankful its nearing. Docs prepared, we also doing mock interview with my love and I pray for a smooth interview. It feels so right imagining things i dreamed of turning to reality.
God is awesome so as my loveboss :)

Pastime

I really like blogging, it occupies my free time pleasantly though obviously im not a pro on it, but I believe anyone can be a blogger on his/her own way. For me, this is my way of expressing my inner thoughts or ideas freely.  Also, through blogging i found a really nice bud (agnes kikay). Blogging is a great tool saving your good times and bad times.  Whenever I read my old posts from different sites, it brought me a good feeling reminiscing the old times and sometimes I just have to laugh my craziness way back. Until now I'm enjoying the benefit of online blogging♥ ♥ ♥

Bye Summer..welcome Rainy Season

I should say summer is the most exciting weather for me.  I can go to beach and enjoy the warm sea water.  It is really ideal to arrange vacations especially to provinces for its the time that Town/Barangay Fiestas  being celebrated.  It is such a good feeling meeting some of my high school peers during fiesta, we were able to update each other about our different walks of life. But then it's now time to say byebye summer and see you again next year!  Meantime, I gotta be ready my rainy season gears: umbrella, cap, jacket and the like. Well, somehow i like rainy season too, the cold breeze give me deep sleep. I both love sunny and rainy season for both are blessings to us by our Almight God.


Enjoy the rain everyone!

Long Distance Relationship Do Work..for me!

I personally didn't dream of a LDR before because I have this feeling that It wouldn't  work at all.  Until one day, my officemate introduced this exciting Filipino Site to me and so I gave it try. I'm really glad i did coz I met my fiance there. We built our relationship from blogs to ym chats and calls as well, I really can tell that it helped so much to attain the kind of relationship we dreamed of.  We talk in phone everyday, video calling, chats, and He planned to visit me twice a year.  We also encountered lots of trials but together we conquered it because we have one goal -  to be one whole and be together until forever :). Now, I proved myself wrong on my first impression about Long Distance Relationship.  We are now working for K1 Visa and currently on Phase II (interview,Medical and CFO).


To those who have the same setting as mine, I would suggest to keep the trust and respect coz I'll will lead to never ending love with each other :)

Mayo

Moodylicious me..

Since January 2011 I have not been working for few personal reasons(except being lazy huh!:P) I thought being jobless would bring me time satisfaction,  will give me freedom to go anywhere I want with out the hassle leave application form in an office. Well, at first I should say it did me a favor in that matter.  My mind is too excited thinking lots of activities to do and to top it all is the thought of talking to my loveboss unlimited.  Day by day i woke up with the thought of I have all the free time to spend shopping, gym, out of town vacation and the like. Until, I reached to the point of getting bored, yes boredom strikes! I started to get moody from little things, I felt my mind is stucked, thus I'm no longer productive and felt im getting slow.  My loveboss noticed it and of course He is always to the rescue ;). He helped me planning for my long vacation to my Province-Leyte,Leyte & to visit my sister in Bohol. I was excited while my flight date is nearing. I spent more than a month there and yeah spending together with your whole family is absolutely fun! I loved it!



Now, I'm back to Manila again and same situation not working but.. I have some things to take care of like working on my K1 visa.  It makes difference now because it motivates me alot not be moody no more, especially when the the approval of my loveboss 129F petition approved :D I am back to a "smiley baby" as my loveboss calls it.



At this time, I am waiting for the day of my flight back to Leyte to spend my 26th birthday there next month. I just feel so lucky i have a very supportive and loving Man of my life! :)
