Memorial Day Weekend teaser

Memorial Day has come and gone, and with it, the crisp breeze of spring. Unofficially, that is. But I can already feel summer in the air and on my skin however unofficial it is.

My 3-day weekend was really uneventful... except for the part where I accidentally razored off a huge chunk of my husband's sideburns :0P

More on that later. Gotta go back to work!

OMG moments of the day

* Reading about a summer package that includes airfare + 2 nights at The Bellagio for just $199 per person.

* Chris Daughtry performing with Live. 'Nuf said.

* High-brow artist, Prince, actually showing up on American Idol.

* Catching a glimpse of Coke Effervescence. Coke and coffee in one drink? OMG.

* American Idol Season Finale -- not Taylor Hicks' winning of the title but hearing Chris Daughtry sing again... OMG, how can they eliminate him?!

Mushu musings on season finales

Can't sleep. I think I overdosed on mushu pork :0P

Spent the whole evening watching all the season finales on our DVR -- CSI (both NY and Vegas) and Close to Home. All the shows that Mr.A and I watch are having their summer hiatus. Can't remember which shows we watched last summer or if we lived on reruns alone.

(I can live on Law and Order reruns but don't tell my husband :0P)

Last season's finale episode of CSI Vegas was still the best in my opinion although this season's episode has one hell of a cliff-hanger -- Grissom and Sara?!? Didn't see that one coming.

CSI-NY was so-so... I guess it was the feeling that the whole episode was rushed. The case tackled in Close to Home was interesting although the ending left me with a heavy heart.

That leaves me with just House and American Idol to look forward to next week. Oh, and CSI-Miami's never-ending finale ( c'mon, 3 episodes?!) But I watch Miami for it's comedic value -- Horatio's OA drama and my husband's violent reaction to it equals FUN! hehe :0D

What I still fume over is not having the chance to watch the season finale of Criminal Minds. It's stupid Dish Network's fault :0P

Which brings me to the news that we might be getting TFC soon. Hmm. That would give us something to watch over the summer.

Anyway, enough of this. Will try to sleep already. Hope I don't have mushu dreams :0P

the green card that wasn't green.

Hindi naman pala green ang green card. Puti sya. Ewan ko ba kung bakit green card ang tawag sa kanya. Sabi ng mister ko, nung nakuha nya yung 'green' card nya, pink naman daw ang kulay. Ang labo :0P

Whatever color it is though, I'm thankful that I've finally received mine. At least I don't have to worry about getting deported back to Manila (however remote that possibility is) when my spousal visa expires next year.

Iniisip ko nga na 2 years valid lang yung card ko. According to the regulations, when an application to adjust to permanent resident status is based on a marriage that hasn't reach 2 years yet, the status that will be granted is conditional. Meaning, 2 years valid lang yung card, tapos kapag natapos yung period na yun, one should apply again to have them lift the conditional status, dun palang ibibigay yung 10-year green card. E nung nag-apply kami, a year and 8 mos palang yata kami kasal.

Anyway, I was really surprised and delighted to find out that instead of giving me conditional residency, they actually gave me the 10-year card already! So that means, I don't have to think about applying again and renewing anything.

Hay. Thank God for lucky breaks like this.

Embarassing Moment #2068493564

You know how there are lay ministers who give out communion?

There's one lay minister in our church who doesn't look like the typical lay minister one would expect (especially if one comes from the Manila). Since he looked 17 to me, I was thinking he's pretty young to be a lay minister. Add the fact that he was sporting a hairstyle worthy of Dragon Ball-Z, you can't blame me for being a lil distracted.

So distracted that when it was my turn to receive communion, I said 'thank you' instead of the requisite 'amen'! :0P

Ang saya talaga!
