A Race Between Visa and Baby

Finally we are done with our paper works for our I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiance'e) packet which is the first step for my visa application, its been submitted and payed, all we have to do now is to wait for the NOA-1 (Notice of Action-1) from the USCIS informing us that they have received all the documents we submitted, after that we will just wait for the NOA-2 (Notice of Action-2) from the USCIS informing us the the petition is approved or else we will be receiving an RFE (Request for Evidence) in case the papers we submitted is not enough for them to approve the petition, means additional requirements and additional time frame, so we will just wait.. wait... wait... and wait.....

On the other hand, while waiting i notice that its been a week delay of my monthly period and its been a month since my fiance and i had our vacation together so, does it ring your bell?:).... here's the big public announcement "Remember that great Vacation my Richard and i took last month? looks like we brought an un-expected souvenir.. yes i am pregnant!!!:)"...

We are all happy and so excited for the baby, we want to get married before the baby born, the problem is we can't get married in the Philippines because our visa application is for fiance and not for spouse, which means there's going to be a Race of who/what comes first between Visa and Baby.  

Expecting to get the NOA2 on October 2011 (cross fingers-5 mos prego by that time) assuming we don't have RFE although, even if the petition will be approved at the expected time, we will still have the medical and embassy interview to go through which will take a month or two (6-7 mos prego), our baby will due on February 2012., time frame is so crucial SO, pray pray pray....

Discovering Camotes Island

I had an opportunity visiting Camotes Island and I can’t believe what I see. “It is a virgin island” as I call it, the place is so clean, so solemn, relaxing yet beautiful. THE LAKE DANAO- it is known to be the largest lake in Visayas & Mindanao, the total area of the lake is 680 hectares. THE MANGODLONG ROCK RESORT - coconut-shaded garden close to the beachfront. Across the resort and separated by a blue sea is a coral islet with tropical huts spread out, connected by a sand bar from the beach. THE SANTIAGO BAY GARDEN & RESORT- overlooking a wide expanse of fine white sand, and a dazzling blue ocean.

Ramadan

I heard the word “Ramadan” a lot of times, in fact today is declared holiday here because it’s the end of “ramadan?” I was just kinda curious about what really “ramadan” means, I did some research, and here I will share some of my research about it. The name Ramadan is derived from the Arabic word ramida or ar-ramad, denoting intense scorching heat and dryness, especially the ground. From the same word there is ramdaa, meaning “sunbaked sand” and the famous proverb Kal Mustajeer minar ramadaa binnar—to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. Some say it is so called because Ramadan scorches out the sins with good deeds, as the sun burns the ground. Ramadan brings out a special feeling of emotional excitement and religious zeal among Muslims of all ages. Though fasting is mandatory only for adults, children as young as eight willingly observe fasting with their elders. Children look forward to the excitement of sighting the moon and eating special meals with their fami
