wag ka na bumili ng maraming winter jackets.

ang daming nagbibigay dito pala pag nalalaman nila na newly arrived ka.

ang bitbit lang namin ay halos tig i tig isang winter jacket kami.

damihan mo ng konti ang medyas.

rubber shoes lang ok na. dito na kayo bumili ng boots pag may sale.

eto, ang dami ko na gamit sa lilipatan naming apartment. may nagbigay na ng kettle,

ceramic bowls, oven toaster, dagdag pa na winter jackets.

madami din tumutulong kung papanu at san inaayos ang SIN, healthcare, MSP, school para

sa mga bata, etc.

scarves, pabilhin mo si misis mo. need to cover the neck. pati mga anak mo girls.

yung mura lang na scarves.ok na.

Thanks tenshi, this will help a lot!

.. and less salt, less greasy food and less sweets

Don't worry, 1 month lang naman ;D ;D ;D

Hi Kelotz!

Very easy mga tanong ng YVR border immigration officers!

Just greet them confidently with a smile,

And answer clearly the ff. questions like:

1. WHO ARE THE MARRIED GUYS HERE?

2. DO YOU HAVE ANY DEPENDENTS ASIDE FROM THESE TWO?

3. DO YOU HAVE ANY CRIMINAL RECORD?

4. HAVE YOU BEEN DENIED OF ANY VISA?

5. HAVE YOU BEEN CONVICTED OF ANY CRIME?

6. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO STAY NOW?

and that's it!

na share ko po ito dahil kasabayan namin sa pila ang isang filipina na mukhang work permit ang papel pero HINDI KUMBINSIDO ang

unang immigration officer sa sagot nya kaya, nakita namin kung papanu siya pagtulungan interrogate ng lumapit na 2 pang immigration

officer

narinig ng asawa ko na sinasabihan siya ng ganito ng immigration officer: "you told us you haven't talked to your (friend, employer)

but here she/he is now on the phone and telling us that she/he had talked to you many times."

we concluded na dahil inconsistent siya sa sagot niya, iginisa siya ng husto. pero, nakalampas din naman at the end.

habang pinapahid ang pawis sa kanyang noo.

'hope this helped!

Thanks po sa tips! This will come in handy when it's my time na po to go there. God bless sa settling preps!

Tabs, parang ang tagal ng 1 month.

Big girl ako (horizontal & vertical), ang hirap yata nun! Hahaha.

But I will "try" my best.

Galaw galaw at iwasan magluto

Thanks pebbles, Bibut, betterlife and the rest! I'm so thankful also that I just had the results of my annual physical exam sa office at okay naman lahat except the cholesterol na medyo ceiling na. Blame it to the irresistible lechon of Cebu. Hopefully, I get to exercise often in the succeeding weeks.

Kayo din, batch mates, stay healthy!

hi cebugirl, don't worry you're not alone sa high cholesterol, ako din at High Blood pres pa po ako kaya diet much talaga... one advice given to me ng friend kung doctor at cardiologist na check up sa akin is no salt talaga or avoid it much as possible... kaso hirap din ako..

Okay lang sa akin ang less salt, betterlife, kaso medyo sweet tooth ako. I'm now trying to empty my shelf of sweets kasi may history ako na mataas ang blood sugar. Sa cholesterol naman, mukhang napuruhan last January sa dami ng bisita for sinulog at halos araw-araw nag-lechon belly kami. Cut lahat for fitness! Sana tuloy-tuloy na to even after my medicals.
