One, my form is already complete. All I need to do is print it out, submit it to BPI and pay the fee ($131) so they could give me my schedule for interview (my employer says this will take another two months).

Two, my contract with my current job will end on July 8. JS said he could renew it for another one or two months (definitely the regular post is out) so I will still have something to do while waiting for my papers.

Three, my employer abroad has confirmed that I am supposed to start my work for them as a program analyst on the 1st of October and the only time that my visa is valid for travel is mid-September (hence even if I get my visa earlier, I cannot travel --- my surrogate families will have to wait then *hehehe*).

Four, my visa was given and secured by the US INS-- I shouldn't worry too much about the interview. It will only take about five minutes according to my employer (a boost for my confidence).

Five, I need to enroll myself in a short course for Dot NET or buy books (lots of it). I need funds for these hence I might give up on my PT soon. *sigh* Sacrifices I need to make. Anyway, I have to learn everything in our program so I could do things on my own soon.

Six, Kuya RR said I should learn how to drive soon. Meaning, I have to renew my driver's license which has expired in 2004. *magkano na kaya penalty ko?*

Seven, my Kuya (and family), who left for the U.S. in October 2002, has already applied for their citizenship.
