Hello my dear Mylot friends, It's been a while since my last log in here to touch-base with you. There were so many things and happenings that came my way worth sharing. Last March of this year, a week before my contract ends, the organization's president asked me to give her a call. I was scared and really wondering why I need to call her. So, I did! I was so surprised when she told me that she wanted me to stay and the organization will sponsor me. She asked me if I have a lawyer and so we can start the application process. The position offered is a promotion. I am so happy and could not believe what I heard. April we started the application process. Last June 28, 2012, the USCIS approved the HIB application. So, I was granted with another three years and can already start the application process for a greencard. My family can also come and stay with me this time. I praise and thank the Almighty for all the blessings His giving me. Now, I am looking forward to be with my family. Hopefully, they can come next year after the 2012-2013 school in the Philippines,which is April 2012. How about YOU? I will be pleased to hear any good news from you all! Have a great start of the week and a lovely week ahead!!!

Hi Julyteen, I am happy to hear that you too are going to Qatar and start a new journey of your life there. Congratulations! That's really a good news my friend. Take extra care. God be with you always. That's for sure. My family will be coming over and we will start a new chapter of our life here in the US TOGETHER. It's truly a big sacrifice for both of us to be away from each other.

Hi Winky, Like you, I haven't been here in a long time and I was pleased to get an email notification about your new discussion. I can't let this one pass without me dropping a few lines. Here goes...:D First, I'm so happy about the good news, this is really BIG, GREAT news (notice the superlatives hehehe), and I share your happiness coz I know exactly how it is to be hoping and dreaming of being reunited with family members and the time spent on waiting sometimes feels like torture. I'm so happy that it's not going to be a long wait for you after all. Indeed, things happen in His time. And you soooo deserve it, friend On my side, things are going great, too. Nothing is greater than having my family whole and intact again. Have started working a month after I came here (you know where :D), the kids are now attending school; they were both nervous and excited on their first school day here, but now I think they're finally enjoying school again, just like they did back home...And I've just passed the written driver's test, I'm looking forward to the actual driving test but at the same time I'm nervous (you know we don't need to take these tests to get a driver's license where we came from . Let me know when you can come to visit, I would really love to see you. And do keep me posted. Miss you.

Yup, blessings for you and for me . I'm sure you'll have lots of great stories to tell when your boys finally join you. I pray it happens soonest. About the honeymoon mode every night, you kinda get tired of it after some time Kidding aside, I'm just so happy that I'm with my husband again, and my kids, with their dad. They (kids and their dad) have a lot of catching up to do. Have a fruitful weekend.

It is so great to hear from you. In fact, I was actually just thinking about you the other day, remembering your son doing well in the spelling bee a couple years back. Its great to hear that not only has your contract been extended, but you are also lucky enough that your family is going to be able to join you this time as well. It will be a great experience for everyone. As far as exciting goings on in my life, there really haven't been all that many. My youngest son did start kindergarten last month and my daughter is in 4th grade now and she was one of only three students in her grade that did qualify for the gifted services at her school.
