B-Day present.............

Let’s update what happened in the past week. There was not much as usual. It was flood in many provinces, politic chaos still going on, and bad economic affect. Listening and watching those thing could make me stress sometimes..lol..

Sep 19th was another special day for me and my husband. Yes, I got another year older. I reach 17 year old..LOL.. I didn’t do anything special. Before started Sep 19th, I went down to 7-11 and got a cup cake.. Yes, that was my b-day cake. Then I came back to the apartment, stick the candle in my cup cake, made wishes and blew the candles.. The cake was good..lol.. The next morning, I went to the temple, made some merit. Then I bought some fishes (cat fishes and eels) and let them go in the river, gave lives and freedom to them. After that I went to the mall and got many stuff to cook for myself. Of course, I stuffed myself pretty good with all the food I cook. In late afternoon, my family called to wish me a happy birthday. My husband? He did that before everyone.

Many of you might think that I had a very lonely b-day. No, I didn’t even have those feeling at all. It’s true. Even people I love and love couldn’t be there on my b-day but I know they love me ,miss me and wish me the best every day. Many people expect the b-day presents when their b-day arrive. But my thought is , when your heart full of love, the things you will make a wish for on your b-day is nothing more than you wish for your love ones safety and happiness. I feel like that, I really do. Even I don’t have any object presents on my b-day, but I already have the most wonderful all time present that suit for every special day.

Oh….don’t get me wrong.. I did get a super surprise special b-day present from my husband…take a look at it..

Yes, my husband bought me A CAR!!!! Acually, we did look at cars before but I didn’t know he would get one this fast..LOL… It’s Nissan Xterra 2003. It’s in great condition. I love it. I don’t even know what to say when he said “ It’s all yours honey, Happy Birthday!!!” I loooooove my husband soo muchhhhh…..everyday!!
But don’t laugh if I am going to say………………..I don’t know how to drive yet…LOL… It’s going to be interesting to see myself learning how to drive…LOL… but now , I just keep dreaming about driving my car…

My husband got to go to work in Zakho last week. It was good that he had the net up there. Talking about the internet, three days ago I was soooo mad. The internet was dead from the evening till the next morning. I was like “Great, net dead on the day my husband don’t have much thing to do!!!” Well, they fixed it in the morning.. I called them the first minutes their office opened….LOL
My husband is still working hard. We both misss home so much and ready to go home….But we need to get to our goal….so we can wait!!!!

That’s all for now. I am going back to Battle Stars Galactica…. We love this TV shows……

P.S the cross stitch is almost done!!!!

Home......

Lately, my mind doesn’t quite with myself…why? Because it’s with home…I am homesick..lol… why don’t I go back them you might ask. I just can’t go yet but hopefully soon though. Which home? The home in US. Why am I homesick so much? This house is the house I can proudly say it’s “our house” The home that is actually home. No rent no landlord. The home that I can screw the wall and hang the picture and don ‘t need to pay for that. I am not afraid to live in the house that still doesn’t have anything set up yet. I have lived in one room studio house before. What else I have to be afraid of. Only a house and my loved one, and together we will make our home as home. To be able to do stuff in our own place our own land without any worry would be so nice. They might call this feeling “secure’? I know there will be tons of work waiting for me. I strongly believe it’s going to be great. It might be tired but it’s going to be good tired, worth for hard work. And more than anything I will be able to be with me love. I would love to thank my husband so much for this feel.

We still don’t have the travel date yet. We are waiting for the work to be sort out. I know my husband feel the same way. I know he wants to go home. He hasn’t seen Kenny for about a year now. Thanks to the little Kenny that understands his father very well. I can’t stop compliment Kenny because he really is a good kid. He really understands things well. But I know he is still a kid. He can understanding things easy, doesn’t mean he won’t need the farther love. Kenny is handling it pretty well. That has to thank to good people around him as well


OK ,let’s talk about my cross stitch abit before I head out for some food…LOL. I have done almost half of it. It comes out very nice…LOL..Well, for me though. But last couple days, I haven’t done any table of it. I did it a bit, then my husband called. After that my mind and though would be with him and home.. I put it the cross stitch for a while..LOL… I haven’t been lazy yet. I will get it done…that’s my mission.


My stomach is screaming now…need to get something to feed it…LOL

New hobby and an excitment.....

As I didn’t have much things to do for a while, it made me think that I needed to do something at least to kill time and calm down my excitement to go home . I was sitting and thinking about what I would like to do… Then I read the board and had come across to where they talked about cross stitch. Yes , I would try to do some cross stitch. Well, I didn’t feel like having the easy or same pattern as other. So I searched on the net and found the program to converse the picture into the cross stitch pattern. I made like 5 patterns. And then I had to choose which one I wanted to start first. The program was really good, it told me which color code I need for my cross stitch. I was so excited and couldn’t go to sleep till 5 in the morning…lol..

The next morning, I went to the shop that sold some of these stuff. The owner took me to the cross stitch section. Oh my god, they didn’t have some of the exactly color I wanted. I had to use me talent (..LOL.) and compared the color by my own. I don’t know how the picture gonna come out from this color..LOL.. but we shall see soon. Right now, I have stitched some and the colors come out not too bad…we will see..

30th Aug, there was some excitement happened in this apartment. I was doing my cross stitch and watching TV. Suddenly, somewhere somehow the fire alarm was going off! I was so panic and didn’t know what to do. I put a sweater on and then ran into the bedroom gapped the passport and the visa package first. Then I picked my purse and the cell phone, unplugged everything, put the shoes on and locked the door. After that I ran to the stair, this was within 3 minutes..LOL.. I ran from the seven floor to the first floor very quick and on the way people came out and asked what was going on. “ I don’t know but better be out of here” Yep, I didn’t think I was going to stay there and found out. I saw some people came out of the apartment but some were still there. Why? I would want to ask but I better stayed quiet. LOL..

The security guard was running around busy. Not long, the apartment manager got to the site. They went up to the 6th floor and looked but it was nothing. And then she came down and told us that everything was ok. She said someone just made a joke by pulling the fire alarm. Well, that was not so funny, you think. They didn’t know who did that yet. My hands were still shaking after I came up to my apartment. So I needed some support. I sent an sms to my beloved husband…

He was on a mission and didn’t get the text (until the next day) But something had to tell him or he could feel my feeling. He called me not long after that. I told him what happened. And he asked if I was ok , I told him I was fine. I was laughing at myself about gapping the visa before everything..LOL.. how could I lose that when I had waited for it for a long time! That was it for the excitement.


My husband is still working hard and busy. He has been steady busy since he moved to the new place. Not much time to rest before the mission like before. Why is it so much work? Because of some lazy people there don’t do their job well. And now my husband is there and can take care of stuff well and get things done excellent. Even though, he is so busy but he still calls, gives me text, or chat with me whenever he can. I am very happy about that. We just miss each other so much. It’s better now he gives me the mission schedule before he is going for one. So I will be able to know where and what he is doing. Sometimes, I feel down though when I see he works hard but I couldn’t help anything. I would like to help him some , so he could have less work and have more time to rest. Talking about this makes me want us to go home real bad!

Well, I think that’s it for today. I will have to go back to my cross stitching as I haven’t started any yet today.

See ya!

Flying day and my aunt and uncle....

Today is really the flying day. The air force base was having the practice early morning. Well, my early morning…LOL… F 16 jet was taking off, landing, flying around over and over again. I couldn’t complain all about that much though because it was my choice I chosen to live around here. I had to admit it…lol… When it’s peach, keep practice to be ready for unexpected situation, right?

Well, let’s update what has been going on lately. Let’s see, my husband is back from the mission. He did an excellent job and the clients and the boss were happy. He got good compliments from them. (I wish it could change into a big raise..haha.. ) Well, after getting back, he still has to prepare for the next mission. At the end of each day, he will be so tired. I wish there is something I can do over here to make he feels a bit better after a long tiring day. I would love to be there and give him hugsss. I just miss him so much. I know being his wife, a lot of patience needs…LOL…( from his work though)

On Monday, I had to talk Aunt Ann and Uncle Michael. I told them about the visa and were so excited about it. Aunt Ann said I always could go home in NY while waiting for Chris’s work to get done. Uncle Michael supported that idea and he thought it would be good for Aunt Ann and my self to have each other as a company. I told them both that I would think about it and had to talk to my husband about it also. Of course, my husband didn’t have any problem with that if I would like it. Well, I don’t know and haven’t decided anything on that yet as I still have something to do here.

Also, Aunt Ann told me she went for the physical check up last week. She told me she would let me know the result. I am worried about her though. I know she doesn’t want me to feel like that. But I know she is a very strong woman. I know she will be fine.


Talking about my aunt and uncle, they are my real family. I have known them for many years now. Whatever happens, they are the ones that I could run to. They always give me good advice, take good care of me and also the ones who could stop my super stubborn behavior..lol.. I am so happy when I see them happy.

in a few months they will be married for 40 years. Yes you hear me right.. 40 years is a long time. They got married when they were in early 20’s. They told me once that one of the most important things for marriage life is “Understanding and accept who he really is”

Ok, let’s update about today before I forget..lol.. After I woke up, I went to Tessco Lotus (went further than any day huh..lol..) I got some fish balls, streamed red snapper and some fruits. Yummy!!! But again, I couldn’t eat them all. After finished my breakfast, here I am, sitting here watching TV and waiting for my husband to be online.

Well, I think that’s all for today. I just want to update a bit just to keep the laziness away…..

See ya!

Just another day............

24 August 2008


Today is just another day. I don’t have much thing to do as usual. After I woke up for a while, my husband called me. I was so happy to hear from him.


After that I managed to go to the fresh market near the apartment and got some thing to cook for myself. Seemed very active? LOL Then I cleaned the house and washed the clothes. It always feels good to see the house clean and in order.


In the afternoon, my Bubbeelze called me again and told me what was going on in the mission. I don’t feel so relieve though because the town he is passing is not a very good place. But then again, where is the safe place over there?


I would like to have a good tracking system to give it to my husband, so I will know where he is and what zone he is in. Hmmm..Maybe it’s not a good idea? I might drive myself even crazier? LOL


As I said before, my husband is the team leader for this mission. I am proud of him so much. I know he will do good job being the leader. Of course, I still don’t like him being the boss there. If he gets to be the boss in the US, I would set a huge party to celebrate for him.


Later on in the evening, I sat and watched the Olympic Closing ceremony. They did a great job on it. After that for awhile, my cute young man was online. I hadn’t talked to him for a long time. I immediately IM’ed him the minutes I saw him online!


Who is this cute young man? He is Kenny, our son. I have known him for about 4 years now. But believe it or not, we haven’t met in person yet. I hope soon we can though.


Kenny is a very smart kid. He can learn thing so fast. The only thing though, he doesn’t eat meat so he is just a little bit skinny. I wish I could go to see him now!

Hmm…for now I think I am going to go watch TV and waiting for my Bubbeelze to call. It’s kind of late, I don’t know if he will call though. Seeing my husband works so hard, I just wish I won the lottery. I won, he wouldn’t have to work over there anymore!!!

See ya!

Talk talk talk.......

It’s another lonely day for me today. It’s cloudy and about to rain. It would be good for a snuggling day. My bubbeelze is not online today. He has a very important mission to get done. I miss him so much. Yesterday we didn’t have time to talk much. He had a very busy long day and he was assigned to be the team leader for this mission.
I don’t know maybe you might think I am weird that I don’t like my husband to be in the higher position or the boss over there. If in US, I wouldn’t say much. But it’s a lot different being the boss in US and the Middle East.

You would think people who work there are the experts and know what they are doing. Well, a lot of them are the experts who know the procedures and all the paper works like my husband. But tons of them are not like that. There are still the whining and lost kinds of workers who think they know everything but they don’t. These people are on my nerve because they cause my husband more works that he shouldn’t have to do! Of course, more stresses and headaches come from that but still get paid the same. Being the boss sometimes means more money but it is not the whole lot and not worth for a lot of things. Importantly, we value the time for each other as priceless. Talking about those weakers wants me to poke them in the heads to wake them up and be the man! I can’t wait for my husband to go back to Zakao. I just miss him soooooooooooo much!!!!


Ok, enough of that…lol… Well, yesterday I ate some tamarind, mango, and sliced young galingale mixed with hot and spicy Thai sauce. That was soooooo gooood. But well, I had to pay the price later on. I kept going to the bathroom from the night till the morning and continue to this afternoon. Don’t feel pity for me huh..lol..
After I went to get the vaccine shots, I feel not normal recently. I think my body hasn’t adjusted to them quite well yet. I hope it won’t take so long. I feel sick so easy and I don’t like it.
One more thing, I have been complaining about gaining more weight. But again I haven’t stopped eating snacks yet. I can’t hide them and just can’t resist them…lol… Ok, I will try harder to be in the routines again starting this coming up Monday. I need to do it to gain my confident back!

That’s about it for today. I am going to lay on the couch and watch the sport games.. lol…. But before that I would like to say it one more time…… I misssssssssss my husband ssssssssssssooooooo muchhhhhhhhh!!!!

Later…

Start the blog again, see what will happen :)

I have been reading other people blogs for a long long time and had thought about having one as my own (again). I know it took me so long. The laziness played the big role in it ? …well, yes some of that and the feeling afraid of something might happen like after I started to write the previous blogs or diary. Am I too super specious? LOL

Now , I feel like “what the heck, I just want to write” Maybe my next generation will get to read about me also ( if the lazy won’t get me too much..LOL)

So where should I begin to write? Hmmm.. I couldn’t write about me since I could remember things you know..lol…

Ok, then let’s begin from today, the present time.. sounds good? I have been married to the most wonderful person for more than a year now. Thank you to my Bubbeelze.We have been through up and down in life and have a long story of life together. But you know all of that makes me truly understand and know what true love is. No matter what the future holds, I just know I don’t want to live without him anymore. He is my everything and I can’t say enough how much I love him and how much he mean to me

I am still in Thailand and haven’t gone anywhere further than Lao…lol… My Bubbeelze is still working and playing with the guns in the middle east. We see each other when he finishes the work rotation. But we talk to each other everyday in anyway we can. A day won’t pass by easily for me if I don’t hear from him.

I am staying home and nothing much today. I spend each day talking to my husband or waiting for my husband. But I also take care of our financial matter. Yes, I was about to pass out every time seeing the stocks went down. My husband always says “ It’s going to come back honey” to make me feel better. I know he was stressed to see it went down also…lol…
My Bubbeelze is a good writer. He likes to write, read and collect the good quotes. I like to read what he wrote on his journal over and over again. But for the past few months, he has been busy with work and no time to just sit for a long time to update it. Most of the time when he Is not at work, he talks to me and then sleep.





Well, I am proudly to present my husband’s journal http://bubbeelze.livejournal.com/

I think that’s all for today. P.S I have this blog into two version, Thai and English.
See ya!
