Summer Driving.

Summer is the time for outside fun, picnics and camping's. One preparation that needs to be done is to make sure that your vehicle is in good condition. Wherever we head during these hot summer days, it is important to drop the vehicle first to Dallas Auto Repair. Just in case there's something that needs to be done. You'll never know when problems arise when you are on the road.

Safety is the first thing in mind. We can only assure this by taking your vehicle to a brake job. It doesn't matter what vehicle you are driving; be it a Chevrolet Silverado or any kind. It is still very important to get it inspected before going on any trip, especially a long one.
I remember when I first started to drive our 5 year old car. I heard a lot of noises in it and I didn't know where they came from. One day I talked to my hubby and told him about it because I'm scared driving with all the noise here and there. Then, we decided to take our vehicle for inspection.

Happy Father's Day.

A sweet note from my daughter to her Daddy.

I Love My Daddy
And all that he does
To help me feel warm, safe and snug.
I just want to say,
"HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!"
And give you a great big HUG!!
I Love You.


For the man of my dreams, my best friend, a wonderful father, and a great son and brother, you know that we all are proud of you and know that you are always in our heart. We are counting the days when you finally be home. We miss and love you. Happy father's day.

Girls In My Circle.

When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,
And then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,
God would show you the best in many friends.

One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.
Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities. Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,'
Another , 'Let's fight together,'
Another , 'Let's walk away together.'

One friend will meet your spiritual need,
Another your shoe fetish,
Another your love for movies,
Another will be with you in your season of confusion,
Another will be your clarifier,
Another the wind beneath your wings.

But whatever their assignment in your life,
On whatever the occasion,
On whatever the day,
Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,
Or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself .
Those are your best friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it's wrapped up in several..
One from 7th grade,
One from high school,
Several from the college years,
A couple from old jobs,
On some days your mother,
On some days your neighbor,
On others, your sisters,And
on some days, your daughters.

So whether they've been a friend for 20 minutes or 20+ years,
AND ONLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO,
God has placed these women in your life to make a difference.
THANKS FOR BEING IN MY CIRCLE !!!!

In My Daughter's Eyes.

I started making a small video clip for Mother's day presentation after this music came out. It really moved me especially when I see my little princess. The first day she was born and up to now that she grew up as a good and sweet little girl. God is really good. Happy Mother's day.

Application for a US Passport.

I applied for a US passport one week after I received my naturalization. I am excited to think that soon I'll have a US passport and I can travel now with less hassles ( I hope). I will wait one month to get the passport in the mail. I hardly remember how long would it take to get these things done from the last applications for my kids. The good thing is we can send our application forms by mail.

Since this is my first time in applying a US passport, I needed to show up in the office along with my naturalization certificate and they will enclosed it in the application.

For some information on how to file an application for a US passport visit travel.state.gov.

Happy Valentines.

I cannot express how happy I am today celebrating my Valentines day with my husband and two beautiful kids. It has been three successive years that we never celebrated Valentines together since he is working overseas. Luckily he is with us this time and that made our day special.

It was just a quite week and I thought he is not doing anything special , but I was wrong and he surprised me with flowers and Ipod nano. Ipod nano? Oh yea, I had a hard time figuring out how to work this new gadget, but I did. I like it a lot. Can you believe that I forgot to get anything for him and for my kids? I feel really bad. I just give them kisses. I am kind of slow and I can't believe it.

Anyhow, we started our day attending Mass this morning and then headed to OLive Garden for lunch. We really had a wonderful time together, the best part is he bought me a bottle of my favorite wine Moscato, to take home. I cannot find it in any store except at Olive Garden. It was made from Italy and I can't resist the taste. It was really good , soft and delicate and I tell you I can drink a whole bottle. I hope you all have a good Valentines.

U.S. Citizenship.

It has been a year since I last posted. Time flies so quickly like a wind that is sometimes hard to notice. Life has always been so good to us. It seems that we are awake when God shower's his blessings on human kind. Anyway, I finally got my naturalization a week ago and I'm proud to be American citizen.

I was surprised that the whole process takes only three months. I heard it will take six months or so to get everything done, but in my case it was so quick. I file the form N-400 October 2009 and after one week I received a notice for my fingerprinting scheduled October 29, 2009. I was so lucky that I didn't need to travel to get this things done since we have a field office here in Boise. In two weeks after the fingerprints I received another notice for my interview which was scheduled December 8th 2009. Tell me its not quick. So you have one month to study for the exam. They will give you a materials to study and it was very easy. Of course what kills you is the anticipation of the whole process. Then after the interview/exam they will give you an invitation for oath taking.

Make sure you will submit all the required documents and fill up the forms correctly. The next thing I'm going to do is to bring some of my family here in the USA. We'll try to work on that sometime this year.
