As of this writing, it is now ten days since Elena arrived in Las Vegas.
We have been to Walmart’s a few times buying things she wants for the apartment and herself. Elena enjoys how the store has so many types of items including a food market. Continue reading
Elena finally arrived here Tuesday August 9th. Her flight arrived at 6:30pm and everything went fast through Immigration and Customs. At 7:15pm Elena walked out of the terminal and into my arms.
As we left the airport I drove Elena up Las Vegas Blvd to see the hotels, then we stopped at the super market [...]
It has been a long time since I wrote anything here. As I had apologized before many times, one reason is the long hours I work and on my free time catching up on chores and much missed needed sleep.
About me, I was working the 5:00am to 4:30pm shift, which I liked, since it [...]

Well all, the time is getting close.
When we got her approval from the National Visa Center, we were told Elena had to bring two items with corrections. Then looking online at the the Travel.State.Gov site, we saw Elena needed to go in advance for her medical exam at St. Lukes.
To make sure everything [...]
I again apologize for the long space between updates and posts but not a lot had changed since last post. I work 12-hour days five days a week and if possible work on my days off. Friday March 18th, the weekend of “March Madness”, Thursday and Friday March 24th and 25th during Conex (Construction Expo) [...]
As you should know from my past apologies, it is difficult to work the 12 hour shifts, talk to Elena and get enough sleep to write often here.
Most days off are filled with laundry, house hold chores, banking and other errands. Also when life becomes routine, you have trouble thinking about what to write. [...]
Getting Elena here is now at the next and easier hurdle. Last week I received a package from the NVC (National Visa Center). They asked for payment for the Affidavit of Support processing. They now have an online way of paying. Once that was paid, I received and invoice for the Immigrant Visa Processing. I [...]
Last Christmas, Elena and I held our first Christmas party for the kids at Agdao Public Market. We are looking to do it again this year but bigger and better. These kids, from 8 to 12 years old, work at the market every weekend trying to earn some money to buy their lunches during the [...]

Well all, it is Monday, May 4th and I have one night left in Davao City. I have packed, organized, adjusted and now waiting for my flight tomorrow in early evening.

When this is posted, it will be less than a week before I leave Davao and so much to do. I am writing this on Sunday.
When I moved here over two years ago I had shipped many of my belongings and had all my clothes packed for almost a month before I left and [...]

A while ago an old girlfriend found me on Facebook and then this site. Since then I get comments from different names that are either shallow comments, weak questions to abusive remarks to me and some of my readers. Through my checking, I am almost positive it is the from the same person.
They use [...]
