Bed Times

I wasn't able to share that we had to get rid of Honey's twin-size bed because we need a bigger one for both of us. When I arrived, we had to do move some things out of his room to give way for my things. When we achieved the space that we wanted, we decided we had to sleep on the floor for two nights just so we could move freely during our sleep, and I had to share this, we like it on the floor! Basically what we did was to pile up the available comforters so as to have a sound and comfortable good night sleep. The following day, we got an Ikea Malm queen size bed frame! Just perfect. The bed was lovely. Before we knew it, we had to rearrange things again!

This is the first time that I got overly excited with bedspreads. This is not me! Somehow the instinct to care for things at home took over me, and it was automatic. Way back in the Philippines I recall I had once picked a polka dot bed set for me and my mom. I was crazy about polka dots that it was like every pattern I wanted for my bag, shoes, clothes, and the what not! I remember I left my favorite polka dot hanky at home.

Honey and I did a little shopping three days before thanksgiving, and decided to get a gold bedspread for starters. I so wanted to get that red satin bed set, it is just both so devilish and romantic! I want to get us a bedspread with shades of green or shades of blue. I also wanted to repaint our room, change the carpet, change the lights and a lot more! I have a lot of things that I'd like to do around here.

Right now, I am just updating my blog. So this is the Honeyfied life already. Still getting used to the weather and it seems that it will still be months that we have to use three sets of comforters! Now I'm thinking we should get an orange comforter!

Today...

...is officially my 1st week being here in america! Today is Honey's dayoff too so we got time to get me some winter clothes and see Harry Potter.

Its funny how time flies in here, i'm quite amazed because it is not usually like this when you dont have that much to do... But in here though, the interval between morning, noon, and night is not that lazy.

I just finished watching my recap of Imortal via youtube while waiting for the laundry to finish. Lying down, cold feet, cold feet... Literally!

The Honeyfied Habitat

I am completing my 3^rd day in America; officially I'm by my Honey's side already at long last! Something isn't right though, it isn't supposed to be this silent! It is supposed to be a noisy world for me! Just this afternoon I heard a prospect friend barked and I'd say I'm glad there is a dog sitting in its comfort right there in the neighbor's backyard.

First things first, I need to proclaim I STILL LOVE THE PHILIPPINES! Oh how I am missing Mr. Sun. I haven't done much around here yet because I think the weather could kill me! It doesn't get this cold in Davao, and worse, I have to expect the weather will become unbearable in the next days! Here comes the reincarnation of the kandingon in a foreign land. This is my survival phase!

I’m on my way…

I recall thru a song… parang kelan lang… Charing! 22 hours more and I'm going to see Honey again! This time, unlimited na!

Here comes November!

Five days to go and I'll be on my way to honeyfication! Yesterday I was able to completely free myself from bondage and I'm loving the feel of FREEDOM!

Prepared or not prepared, I'm leaving soon. =)

Meet Callie Maggotbone

This is the woman that caused my Honey's testosterone level to decide that I should get a pencil-styled skirt like the one she's wearing above. I went searching for video clips just so I could get a glimpse of this Callie who has been Honey's bukambibig for quite some time. I was so excited as I thought I could see an extraordinary corporate attire... to my dismay! Gosh! Haha! Okay okay... so, Honey was telling me to get me a skirt like Callie's okay... and I'm kinda convincing myself since this afternoon if this kind of skirt will be put in future use at all. Let me dream tonight. I will have an answer to myself tomorrow.

The skirt is still part of the preparation for the infinite getaway by the way. =)

Getting Ready!

In preparation for my infinite getaway with my Honey, I had to prepare big time for my mom. The preparation includes a laptop and a speedy reliable internet connection so I and my mom could still communicate everyday if she wants to. Honey has been very supportive with this preparation; he knows very well that this is the very first time that I'm going to live away that is half the world away from my mom. Since birth, it has always been me and my mom sharing the bed together (the sanest explanation why I can't sleep alone), and my mom needs time to get used to living the next days without her precious she devil daughter. For the most part she has to get used to the silence, to sleeping alone in our room, and to the unsolicited slavery. She has no master to serve now – in the physical sense; however, it is time for her eyes thru her lenses to get used to rendering her sermon in front of the computer screen – in a virtual sense! Yeah, what my mom would really miss is someone who she can vent her angst to. Haha!

So here I am, testing the net connection that was installed thru the help of my cousin's boyfriend, in fairness: the signal is satisfactory. For the last hour I already taught my mom the following techie things:

1. How to turn on the computer;
   
2. How to properly log off thru shut down;
   

I've created her Yahoo ID, so the learning also includes:

1. How to sign in to Yahoo Messenger;
   
2. How to look for my name and start sending me messages
   

So far, all that came out from her mouth were… kalisud ba aning computer!

GOD PLEASE GIVE ME A POSITIVE ENERGY is my spiritual cry.

I can do this!

Visa is here!!!

At last! What a relief! After days of tracking my package online via Air21 and after days of encountering "tracking number not found", visa is here at last! I have all the right in the world to keep on repeating the word at last because it is just too overwhelming! Honey is already on the go go to schedule my flight!

I was approved on October 8, and seven days after on October 15 (less than 10 working days as was contained in the Air21 notice) I got my visa. I have to share it here that I almost went paranoid when I found out about Air21's useless online tracking tool. I guess I have the right to say it was useless because it was not functional at all when I had to track my package. I asked some friends whom I met at St. Lukes, and they too got the same feedback about the courier's online tracker. It is good however, that to compensate for the online tracker, Air 21 used SMS to inform us to prepare the things necessary to retrieve the visa pack upon delivery --- and they sent me the SMS the day before delivery. At least. They also sent me the very last confirmation message that I, Catherine Lorin received my visa on this date and at this time.

For all of you who are maybe at the moment are slowly becoming uneasy while waiting for your visa to arrive, just keep your cool. I guess it is just better if you follow whats written on the notice, to not schedule travel arrangements, and to not resign from your current jobs until you receive your visa. Why I almost went paranoid is because I resigned 3 days after I was approved, and 4 days before my visa was delivered. Mine might just be a case of overpowering good luck and might not work the same with the rest. Nevertheless, have the guts and the instinct of good luck to guide you all girl friends. ;)

Sent Honey a copy of my passport today. Counting the days to close in on my way to Honey's habitat, and just thinking about it really makes my remaining moments here sooooo damn precious! There's a lot more to prepare, and more than you could ever imagine! Aja!

4th day: AWAITING MY VISA PACK

I spoke to Honey today. Told him about the tracking number Air21 gave me to track the whereabouts of my visa. Unfortunately though, this is the third time since the day after I was approved that I tried to track for my package and still the system only renders me a "tracking number not found". Hala! Ayaw jud ko binuangi diha! Naka resign na baya ko kahapon!!!

US Fiancé Visa Approved!

October 8, 2010 at exactly 8:20 am was one pivotal point for us lovebirds! After 14 months of long wait, the US Consular Officer approved my visa! What's sweet about the whole thing is, the entire wait from my high school until yesterday was all worth it! A month more to go and we are ending our long distance love affair already! In no time, I'm truly going to be honeyfied forever! At last!
