I was so very happyand thankful so muchto God that I'm here now in USA together with my husband...and there's nothing that can equal my happiness since I'm here beside him...LOL. On the other hand, I am a little sad because of the fact that my family and I are far apart now. I miss my family, friends, and relatives already. It may be hard to believe coz I recently just arrived here from the Philippines but, this is what I feel...ha...ha...ha. Oh, there's something I want to tell you when we met my sister Ana in Detroit airport. You know it was the most great thing, and it was the first time we meet here since she left the Philippines. We hugged and kissed each other so much, and aside from that, she gave me more gifts like many jeans,t-shirts, boots, one cute beautiful necklace, one box of chocolates, one long sleeve, and American flag.  I was so very surprisedto see their first baby named tiana she's very pretty and cute in person...LOL. At this time, I am going to school at Parkland College, attending ESL=English as a Second Language class, part time...and I'm also very thankful that I have a very supportive husband...LOL. Ok I would like to stop for now........ and maybe I will write more next time.......

Hello everybody, welcome to my web journal. I am glad that you stopped by, but before I go on any further, please let me introduce myself. I am Nora, 21 years old and married to an American man who's residing in Illinois U.S.A.. My husband and I married on September 20^th 2004. So, we’ve been married for almost a year now (this September will be our 1st Wedding Anniversary). We met through an introduction website, my sister Ana P. S. put my profile on the net, it was the only way I could met anyone outside my country. So, thanks to her for helping me meet my soul-mate, thanks sis. Anyway, as to how my husband and I got acquainted, well, when he saw my profile, he acquired for my contact address right away and wrote to me. He sounded real sincere in his letter, so I was interested and quickly responded to him. After a few months of corresponding; writing letters to each other and phone calls, we decided to meet in person. He came over on the month of September and we got engaged right about that same time, then a couple of weeks later we tied the knot-got married. We had a fairytale wedding-church wedding and I felt like a real princess. It was a beautiful wedding and I am one of the few lucky ladies who had the privilege of having a dream wedding, for me it was dream...LOL. My husband left the Philippines after spending a few weeks here with me and my family.

As of the moment, I am in the process of emigrating my homeland to another new place where I will immigrate to join my husband. It’s been quite some time that we have not seen each other personally. So, I miss him so much and I can’t wait to be with him soon. Also, I am so excited to be able to see my sister Ana again as well as her family especially the new addition to our family her daughter Tiana-my niece. She’s such a cute one, a beautiful little girl. I miss them so much as well, my sister and I has not see each other for a long, long time-for 6-7 years already. Imagine that, she’s been so homesick and yearning for all that she used to do and eat at home. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her because she’d always tell us that she misses it here very much each time. Hopefully, her wish will be granted soon enough. She’s still having a hard time adjusting from not being able to eat our kind of food...LOL. Ohoh...I hope I won’t have that much trouble as much as my sis Ana is having and have been having...LOL. I am so looking forward to meeting everyone, including my husbands family and getting a glimpse of what America is like. Oh, that will be so thrilling for me, it'll be my ever first adventure. Okay, I'll close for now, so see you then.
