yup tama, di lang sila magaling in showing emotions pero they do feel sad too. nung days bago ako umalis my hubby was so alright,parang normal lang sa kanya na aalis ako, lagi ko siya sinsabihan na ang manhid naman niya, then the night before i left niyakap nya ako then told me magiingat daw ako lagi and mamimiss daw nya ako, and umiyak na siya. Sa airport hindi na kami masyado umiyak, basta nung papasok nako to board i just hugged evryone (hubby, parents, cousins na naghatid) and umalis na ko without looking back pero nung malayo nako sa line na papasok, umiyak na ako. Yung hubby ko naman nung umuwi sya and only our dog was waiting for him sa house, tapos nakita nya ung mga stuff na ginamit nung nag empake ako, bigla na lang daw siya naiyak kasi nung time na nakauwi siya, un ung time na we go out for a walk with our dog. then that night ayaw pumasok nung dog namin sa room he was waiting for me daw sa pinto. huhuhu (tears while typing this) .

Now hubby is always saying to me na i-promise ko daw na ito na ung last time na magkakahiwalay kami, na ayaw na daw nya ito maulit pa. Being away made me realize so much, na sana pala di ko siya inaaaway o di na lang kami nag aargue over petty things nung andun pa ako, na sana hindi ko sya pinagiinitan ng ulo nung nagpprepare kami ng docs at naiinis ako na ako ung gumagawa sa halos lahat...

hays... anyways... now we couldnt wait to be together again, im always telling him im excited to show him around, first time nya to experience ang winter this 2012, shopping, and idagdag na ung excitement over having our own place here, as of now kasi nakikistay pa lang ako sa relatives ko pero bago xa dumating lilipat na ako. dadalhin din namin si PELI (thats our dog) so we are excited for him too.
hehe... naiyak ako naalala ko din ulit nung umalis si hubby ko.... :'(

if cic stands true to the number of the days for sponsorship approval they are posting, or better yet, the number of days become less as they update it weekly (lets all pray) then we will all be approved within March. and i believe you , Xavier, will be the first accdng to our spreadsheet :) :) :)

Hi sis, I was able to use the most recent forms December 2011 when I double check everything before I sent to hubby sa Canada yung mga remaining documents here sa pinas, though nung nandito si hubby nung November-December vacation we did first fill-out the old forms. Not sure if it will be an issue, but with other thread kasi that i've read who failed to submit the updated forms the immigration officer required the applicant to re-send using the new forms. I don't even noticed nga kung ano yung difference nung old to new ones. But with minimal changes I hope there won't be an issue...

thanks sis. ive read posts like that too pero ung mga forms na pinapalitan ata sa mga cases na un is months old forms na or with drastic changes like the 2d bar codes. i compared ung nov and dec forms and parang wala namang difference. i hope walang issue, guess we'll find out in a month or so :)

I think ganon din naman ang nararamdaman ng mga hubby naten. Di lang talaga sila ung tipong umiiyak agad. Twice na ko umuuwi ng Pinas, nung una bf ko pa lang sya so hindi naman ako masyado nalungkot..pero yung pangalawa, sobrang iyak ako ng iyak nung magboboard na ko para sa flight ko. Iba na pala yun pag asawa mo na yung maiiwan at wala kang choice kundi maghintay sa tamang panahon. Naging strong naman hubby ko sa airport pero nun tinawagan ko na sya when I landed, dun na sya sobrang umiyak sa fone... :(
We came to realized that there's a big difference when the boyfriend then is now our husband na... the level of commitment is higher of course and there's a BIG emptiness since we're going through our daily life alone... with only our respective husbands to complete us.

Though in my case we really put the effort to see and talk twice each day on skype and YM :-* ( my lunchbreak at work = before hubby's bed time in Canada) and (my late evening before my bedtime = his early morning getting ready for work). We've been in this situation for 3 years already... I hardly go out with my staff or co-managers for lunch time or even gimmick at night kasi I value more the time me and my husband spent on-line, somewhat boring for others to think but for all of us here on this forum we all have same sentiment and we all understand each others situation. God's will, I hope this is all our year. :D

Hi everyone!

Help please.. Sorry I'm not a Jan 2012 visa applicant but I and hubby are planning to submit our application soon..

We recently got married - dec 28 last year and we have a BIG concern with the NSO marriage certificate.. Did you guys submit it with your application? Or can we submit it a later date?

We can't proceed with the application coz we dont have it yet.. :( I read somewhere about 'advance endorsement' but Manila city hall is not included in that process.. I tried to request online sa e-census but got a note saying 'marriage is too recent'... We tried entering diff dates and November 5 un earliest w/0 the note coming up.. That means 3 months from the current date!

Anyone here who knows how to get it faster? Or how soon can I request? Any tips? please.... :(
