Moments with mom-in-law

I went shopping with my mom-in-law today - it was fun. We spent some time together just shopping or doing something like a girl thing. So much with that....

It's so much easier to work on your arts and crafts here than we used to do in the Philippines with all the traces and cuttings. Here they already have the machine to do everything. Is it not easier and very convenient.? So many things that surprise me in this whole new world that I am in now.
My mom-in-law has a full room of everything which she collected 3 years ago. Those things that I've never seen or even begin to imagine that exists. Hobby Lobby and Michaels are some good stores for anything from stamps to the machines to complete your arts and crafts collection. Oh well !! it's "high-teach"time already as they say and I may be way far from that or even the Philippines but I am not really that big fun of doing it. If this would be available in my country, this would help a lot of teachers to make their demonstrations/school presentations easier.
It is not cheap so I think I'll pass on that.

Just wondering

I'm just wondering how many pinays are interviewed or arrived here in the US or anywhere outside Philippines everyday. Well, just trying to post somethin' here and saw my friend has arrived in Spain last Sunday.
One thing is for sure about the pinays going or marrying foreigners is the beauty and the unique loving and caring traits they have.

Go! go pinays!

Oklahoma,USA

It's almost a year since I got here in the USA. Everything is totally new to me including the people, food and the place. I have nobody here but my husband who loves me so much.
Oklahoma is a nice place and I would say it's not hard to adjust for a girl like me who grew in a very small barangay in the Philippines. Actually, I can really say that it's just like there where you can see fields, cows, horses and chickens. So, I love it because of that !! The people are so friendly and there are also lots of Filipinos here. Foods are avaialable all the time because of the drive thrus just right in the corner. That's a big difference though in the Philippines. I love the food except that I am still missing the pinoy foods. My husband takes me to this asian market where the least of our pinoy foods are available. The feeling is still different when you are eating dried fish in Oklahoma, USA. hehehe compared to eating it in a farm where you can see your father plowing the field.
So much with that I love it because this is where my love of my life lived. This is where we are going to have our own family.
