Getting engaged?

Jason and I talked yesterday. 

Since papalapit na ang pag uwi ko, 3 weeks na lang actually. After breakfast, I asked him what time he usually wakes up on weekends nung wala pa ako. Depende daw and asked why. 

I told him para we can facetime while he's having coffee or something. 

And then... pinatong nya kamay nya sa table, ang face nya sa palm nya at tumingin saken. Tanong nya "What should we do to keep you here?"

I know we both know the answer. Pero nahihiya ako sabihin sa kanya kung ano ang easiest way na alam ko. 

Kaya sumagot ako ng pwede ako maghanap trabaho dito, sabi nya "how about school visa?" sabi ko pwede din, need ko lang mag apply for sponsorship. School man o work. At sabi nya "There's one more, easiest and fastest" ako naman inosente look, dahil ayoko manggaling saken. Then sabi nya "and you know what it is".

"Get married?" with kunot noo, curious tone. And he said "do you want to?"

Sabi ko "of course, only if you want to"

So umikot sa kung gusto mo ba, gusto ko ba. LOL

Tapos sabi nya "you dont have to answer now, I want you to think about it. Give me an answer a day or two. There's a lot to give up: your life, your car, your fridge (nadamay pa no?!), you wont be able to see your dad and brother everyday, your friends, the beach..." natigilan ako, pero naisip ko na noon mga bagay na yan eh. Alam ko gusto ko sya kasama. Kaya sabi ko "I just want to be with you, everyday, to say good morning and goodnight, kiss you and hug you" Sya din "I want to say I love you everyday, wake up next to you, race home from work knowing I will see you". Sabi nya "are you willing to live here in the US, here in Nevada?"

Kaya ayon, it took us siguro 3 hours na nag usap. He's been thinking about it na raw for weeks, and sabi ko di man lang sya nagsasabi, parati kase sya tahimik pag sinasabi kong ang lapit na ng uwi ko. 

He was looking for rings na rin daw and showed me the proof (mga thursday pa yun mga saved pics sa phone nya). 

Inulit ulit nya sabihin pag isipan ko, ayaw daw nya na mag-oo ako just to settle, he said he wants me to want it. And I'm like, "I want it". 

On our way here sa apartment, nagsabi sya na naman mag isip ako, and he was hoping I'd say yes. Sabi ko sa kanya sya ba sure din at di napipilitan. Ayokong gawin nya ito just because he wanted me to be here, I want us to do it because parehas kame nararamdaman for each other. 

Basta I love him, he loves me, we want to be together. 

So I talked to the family and ask for guidance. Malaki ang igi-give up ko talaga sa Pilipinas, and I was not ready for this. I have a job back home, I have bills, I will miss my car and yes I will my fridge, I will miss eating beside my dad, I will miss the impromptu inuman or road trip with my friends. 

But I've been looking for love for so long too. And this is the time na puso ko muna isipin ko. 

Jason promised me we will visit Philippines and I can go home every year if I want to. And we can live in PH after 20 years maybe. And I am happy about that. 

So, dad, sister, brother, mom gave me their blessings already. Jason will tell his parents today and we are going to buy the ring tomorrow. 

Oh btw, he already has a date for a wedding ceremony next year. Hindi ko pa alam plans nya, pero may date na sya. 2-22-22. But for now, I guess we need to pick what date ang civil wedding and lakarin lahat ng kailangan lakarin. 

We're gonna be busy these coming days. 😉

Daiso Beauty White and Collagen

Ok, hindi ko nakita ang sarili ko na gagamit (or iinom) ako ng ganito. Well, nung college, nag likas papaya ako, kase akala ko non maganda maging maputi. Hanggang na-adik ako sa dagat. Anyhow, hindi ako pumuti, kahit konti.  Two weeks ago habang kwentuhan over beer and chicharon bulaklak with Domz, he mentioned something about Glutathione and maybe collagen from Japan. In fairness, kumikinis nga naman na sya from since nakilala ko sya. And 3 years na kami close, his skin is smoother now. Then last Monday while kwentuhan naman over wine with Jeng, she mentioned about Collagen na in-order nya from US. She said hindi na sya gumagamit ng foundation since nag lockdown. I didnt notice that kase parang makinis na rin ang face nya. So parang na-convince ako ah. Ending ko, I asked Domz ano ginagamit nya. He said paubos na raw and since sa Japan pa nanggagaling, wala sya mapagkuhaan ngayon. But a friend of his is selling this Daiso Collagen and Beauty White. Di naman sila need i-take both. But m

Biometrics Appointment

Jason and I arrived at 8:43am, there was a line already. Pang 6 ako sa line. Stood there for maybe 10mins. While in line, the lady guard was checking all our appointment letters and ID's. I gave my drivers license.  And nung time na para pumasok, one by one sila magpapapasok: You need to put your stuff on the tray for x-ray (purse, watch, jewelry, and if you have anything on your pocket. I guess parang sa airport, naka dress ako and walang pockets kaya yun lang nilagay ko), then you can go inside na. There was a line again, screening I guess. The lady will call you pag turn mo na, they will check your appointment letter again and ID, this time I just handed my passport, for me mas madali lang kase yun ID sa pila sa labas). She then asked me to raise my two hands, checked front and back. And since I already put Duncan on my forms, she asked if I just got married, I said yes, then she asked if I have my marriage license with me, I said yes and handed it to her. She then wrote somethi

One year away from home

I am celebrating my first year here in the US today. This is the longest I am away from home, my dad, my friends, my brother, from my car haha not seeing Glorietta or Shopwise. Not being able to drink cucumber beer at Rue. Not wearing a face shield. Not experiencing the Manila traffic and the pollution. The noise of the rooster and dogs, the noise of the kids outside, or the neighbors shouting, cursing at each other. Even the all day all night karaoke of our neighbors. I miss my bed, I miss my fridge, I miss driving. I miss the mall. I miss the smell of pinoy foods. When I flew here, I thought I will only be gone for 4-1/2 months. I thought I will be meeting Bryan and Brandon. Thought I'll be back in time for summer and hoping makapag beach na ulet. I was hoping pa for Brandon to be my boyfriend you know. LOL But God has a different plan for me. A better plan. Better plan to what I planned for myself. And I love it. I am thankful for his BETTER plan for me. It truly is worth the wa
