My US Citizenship Oath Ceremony

Yesterday was my US citizenship oath ceremony held at Arlington Convention Center. I was surprised to see a lot of people to be sworn in yesterday. I was only expecting maybe around 100 or 200 the most but it was more than what I expected. Guess how many people who sworn in as US citizens yesterday? It was a whooping 634 people who became US citizens yesterday and that includes me. It's not surprising no more why a lot of people wanted to become citizens in this country. USA is a great and blessed country and it's the richest and most powerful country in the world. It feels great to belong here. Here are some photos taken by my hubby yesterday. See more photos HERE.

Our Neighbors

We have neighbors here beside our house. We like our neighbor on the right side of our house because they are friendly. The guy mows our yard whenever he mows his yard. He's the best neighbor we ever had here. In return I gave them Filipino foods that I cooked like pancit and lumpia. I don't really care about our neighbors in the left side of house because they are so noisy and messy. They don't throw away their trash in the dumpster. They just throw it their in front yard or beside their house and when the wind blows, the trash go to our yard. It really make me mad because I don't want our yard with trash. I clean and sweep our yard most of the time and then when I see those trash in our yard it makes me mad. Sometimes I throw it back to their yard. These neighbors of ours are mixed colors. Some are white and some are black and they live in one house. I just wonder how they are related to each another. They are just renting their house and my hubby and I wish that they will move out soon. We want quiet neighbors and know how to throw their trash in the dumpster.

US Citizen Soon!!!

After a long time of waiting for the schedule of my citizenship oath ceremony, I finally received the mail yesterday stating the date of the ceremony. I will be sworn in as a US citizen on October 2nd at Arlington Convention Center. I was so relieved!!! Just imagine after more than 3 months of waiting since I passed the interview, it's only now that I finally heard from them. My hubby and I was so happy. My immigration journey will finally come to an end after I will get my naturalization certificate. Read more about it in my other blog My Online Journal. Wooohooo!!! Thank you Lord!

Questions That Haunt Me

Here are some questions that are really thought provoking. I got this from my e-mail and while reading it, it really made me think. I want to share it here and perhaps you would get the answer for yourself.

Can you cry under water?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

The Ten Commandments Of Marriage

I had a good time reading this article which I got from my e-mail. As a married woman, there are things that I need to know to adjust myself to a married life. I waited for 40 longs before God sent me my life partner and I want our married life to last for as long as we live.

Commandment 1
Marriages are made in heaven. But, so again, are thunder and lightning.

Commandment 2
If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

Commandment 3
Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 100 grand!

Commandment 4
Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

Commandment 5
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the car is new or the wife is.

Commandment 6
Marriage is when a man and woman become as one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.(I couldn't decide which one either!)

Commandment 7
Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.

Commandment 8
Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife.

Commandment 9
Marriage and love are purely a matter of chemistry. That is why a wife treats her husband like toxic waste.

Commandment 10
A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is finished.

Bonus Commandment story:

A long married couple came upon a wishing well. The wife leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny. The husband decided to make a wish too. But he leaned over too
much, fell into the well, and drowned. The wife was stunned for a moment but then smiled, "It really works."
