Update on things

December 28, 2011
Well the wedding is about 2 weeks away.  We are still working on all the little details.  My mom will be here in Singapore in a week from today.  My dad will be in the Philippines in about a week and a half.  Frankie and family will be in the Philippines in a little over a week.  Time really does fly by fast.  So we are just busy finishing things at work so we can take our long leave.  We are also very busy finishing the wedding stuff and preparing for our visitors.  Then when we get back we have to find a new place to live and continue to work on the US visa for Ronna.

I do plan to blog about all the stuff going on in the next few weeks.  So stay tuned as I should have them up around the end of January.

Until then take care and happy new years everyone.

1st Christmas!!!

December 28, 2011
Okay so it isn't the first Christmas ever or even the first Christmas we knew each other, but it is our first Christmas together in person and our first Christmas as husband and wife.  So here is how we celebrated the best holiday of the year.

We decorated our room in the beginning of November with a tree and stockings.



Here is the tree with the gifts under it.  We bought lights and lots of cute decorations for the tree.  We actually bought most of our decorations including the tree in the Phil...

Back From The Philippines

October 7, 2011
Well since I am on here blogging for my mother's birthday I figured I could do a short blog about our recent Philippines trip.  It was a very busy trip as we were doing wedding stuff the entire time except for the last day when the typhoon came in.  It was a low level typhoon so nothing too exciting, but we did lose power all day (which they call a brown out over there).  I had never heard of a brown out.  I am only familiar with a black out (as in it gets black when there are no lights becau...

Just Married!!!

October 4, 2011
So if you read my earlier blog about the super special anniversary on September 14, 2011 that was actually our civil wedding day here in Singapore.  That was the day I became the luckiest man on Earth when Ronna said "I do" to marrying me.  It was a very small affair and we enjoyed it very much.  However, we are also looking very much forward to the big church wedding in the Philippines and our US wedding in the future.  One thing I have learned in life is that there are very few people you c...

In The Phils Again

September 21, 2011
Hey all, Ronna and I are in the Philippines again.  We just got here a few hours ago after catching a red-eye.  We were met at the airport at 4am by her brother, sister, and the driver.  First thing we did is drive to Taal Lake on the Batangas side and check out Shercon Resort as a possible wedding venue.  On the way we stopped and ate Jollybee, the Philippines national fast food chain.  I had a sausage and egg pandesal sandwich.  I liked it except for the mayo, but now I know to ask for no m...

Just Working Like A Dog

September 15, 2011
Hey all.  Sorry it has been so long since my last blog.  Nothing new is really going on over here.  I have been working for about a month now and today is my first day off in 18 days.  I work very long hours over here, but the work is very easy.  So I can't say I work hard, but I definitely work a lot.  I basically work 13 days and then I get 1 day off.  The work ethic here in Singapore is to work a lot of hours.  I find it to be ridiculous, but that is the way it is.  Of course I am looking ...

MOM Likes Me, She Really Likes Me!!!

August 8, 2011
So MOM approved my employment pass application to work as an assistant Manager at Tony Buzan's Learning Centre here in Singapore.  So MOM does like me after all and I am not talking about my biological mother.  She has to like me, actually she has to love me.  I think it's a law or something.  Anyways, MOM is the Ministry of Manpower and they are the governing body here in Singapore that approves all work permits.  So my work permit application was approved and I should have it in my hands so...

Pay Day Is Coming!!!

August 3, 2011
Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I finally got a job.  I signed the contracts last night.  My only obstacle left is getting the job approved by MOM (Ministry of Manpower).  MOM is the government agency responsible for giving out work visas.  So if all goes well MOM will approve my job and give me a multiple year work visa.  Then I can start working.  We are hoping I will begin around August 15th.  MOM's job is to make sure that all immigrants are adding value to the community.  T...

The Ring

August 3, 2011
So in case you haven't figured it out.  Ronna said yes to my proposal and we are engaged and actively planning our wedding at the moment.  Here is a picture of the ring as promised.



This is Ronna giving me the finger................the ring finger that is.  :)  Anyways, here is a close up of the ring.



The 3 rings (engagement and 2 weeding bands) are all white gold solitaire style and the engagement ring obviously has a very nice diamond in it.  The rings are very simple, yet very eloquent.  We ...
