Renewed my Permanent Residence Card

It has been almost 10 years since I got my permanent residence card, and it will be expiring in Sept. I renewed my permanent residence card online, the process online is quick I think and already got my appointment for my biometric .I had to pay $370.00 for processing and biometric. My biometric appointment is set June 1'2009 at 8:am. So I have to freshen up and ready my big smile for a picture (lol). My appointment is early in the morning, that is mean i need to wake up like 6:00am! What... I never woke up that early unless there is an emergency. Oh well! It's better to get it done and get over with.

The next step I am trying to pursue is my US citizenship. Next week I will be going to Edmond College University to see how much it will cost me to purchase the book. And then after studying, I would be preparing my self to get my US citizenship test. I hope I will pass. Well see what is going to happened anyway.

Shop Properly

"George Washington had a vision for this country. Was it three days of uninterrupted shopping?"

If we are all going to shop so much, we might as well know how to do it right.

List the stores that you really want to visit and go to them first, don't stop in at a store just to look at something, that would be a waste of valuable shopping time! You can visit those stores when you're done at the stores you need to go to.
If you see something in a store that you want or need then buy it now. Don't wait and get it later because chances are, when you come back it will probably be gone, and another store wont have the exact same thing. When you find something you like try it on. This will save you the trouble of taking time to return something later---time that you could otherwise use for shopping. Check the durability of your item. It is important to know how well it will last you. Check washing instructions. You will want to factor into your buying decision, whether you are going to need to have something drycleaned, or whether you will have to hand wash the item.

Understand the vanity sizing system. Just because you're an 8 in one shirt doesn't mean you an 8 in every other shirt you buy, remember different designers have different size scales intended to make shoppers feel comfortable as the the population grows larger year by year. If you have a hard time making decisions, it may be better for you to buy all of the items that fit and that you like. Then, go home, try them on and decide there which ones to keep. Trying on things you own, in your own home, gives you a whole different perspective that will let you see more clearly what you really need/like and what you don't.

Tips:
* Go to your favorite store frequently. This way you can see what's new and when there are sales.
* Sales are usually schedule for the back-to-school season and Christmas seasons.

NEVER buy anything a size too small, even if it's the hottest thing you've seen in your life. Buy well-fitting clothes.

Not Ready to be a US Citizin

People asked me "How long have I been here(US)", "Are you already a US Citizen"? The answer to those question is: I been to US since Dec of 1994 so that makes ...almost 15 years and no I am not a US Citizen yet. And they asked back after my responce." How come, you can be a US citizen you know, you been here a while". Yes that is true. Right, I am enjoying being a Filipino citizen. Beside , I am a permanent residence.But, I am putting a lot of thinking about becoming a US citizen,and researching how to become a US citizen. You never know, one morning I would be waking up and telling my self, that it is time to get my citizenship. You never know!
