Alex Polar Bear & Kimi Honey Bear Original Characters!

Hey lovelies!!

Guess what??

Our official Original Characters are here!!!

Ow yaz!!! Many thanks to our amazing artist Kiwi from DeviantArt, she brought our cutie bears to life. I'm so happy and excited. Now you'll be seeing these cutesies on our image watermarks and blogs.

I've always wanted to have original characters based on Alexbear and me, but I'm not really satisfied with my drawings and don't have a tablet to actually make any! Hmm, which also makes it a goal to get my own tablet because my bro's don't work on my laptop T.T

Anyways, I was browsing around DeviantArt and came across Kiwi's profile. She's got really awesome cute stuff! I actually had to contemplate if I was gonna commission her to do our characters. Maybe after about thirty minutes I've made up my mind!

Lo and behold the Official Polar Honey Bears!

Kiwi made the bears while I did a bit of tweaking and added our watermark and background. She also made these headshots with backgrounds.

Aren't they super cute!??? They sure are!!

Expect more of these cutie characters from us. I'd definitely get more work done by this artist although I'm also planning to make my own versions based on these awesome cutie babies.

I'm just gonna be busy for a while these coming weeks due to my visa application. I'll be posting more updates soon. I'll  be giving insights in applying for your Birth Certificate and CENOMAR online.

I hope you enjoyed our new look!

xoxo

Topic Ideas & Our Original Characters! (OCs) ^.^

Okay, I'm super excited!!

In a few weeks time I'll be having my medical exam and will schedule my visa interview so this is really nerve-wrecking. I might get everything done by the end of July but I would be leaving by the end of September. Yes, I'm finishing all preparations and spending as much time as I can with my family. It will be while before I can visit them.

I'll be doing a few more entries to be specific on the process we made to serve as a guide for anyone who wants to know details based on other people's experience. I've had some personal mails getting positive feedback on the NBI procedure so it's pretty cool!

Topics to Tackle:

Fiance Petition Application

Steps After Petition Gets Approved

St. Luke's Medical Procedure

Visa Interview

...and our own ORIGINAL CHARACTERS!

I've always thought that the Polar Honey Bears is a cute idea. Now, I've finally decided to have our own characters made to represent us and of course, this blog! While I enjoy using lots of free sparkly and glittery stuff that I find online, won't it be nicer if we have cute and cuddly characters that I can call our own?

So I was on DeviantArt a few days ago, updating my profile and blog (since I barely do) and came across an artist whom I think has the style and talent that fits my ideas! Now I'll have her do some commissioned work for us and can't wait to finally see them. Well, of course I'd give her all the time she needs to make the perfect Polar Honey Bears!

That's it for now! ^_^ I'll post the OCs once they're done. It'll be a surprise and will definitely introduce you to this amazing cutie artist!

The New Online NBI Application Process

Hello lovelies!

Have you ever applied for an NBI Clearance before? If you have, bet you still remember the long lines, annoying cut-offs and the need to return if your name has a hit. And now you've probably heard of the online application. Well, here's a quick overview of the process to make it much easier and to set your expectations.

US Visa Requirement

The NBI Clearance is useful for many applications. This is also a must for the US Visa and will be presented upon the interview. This basically verifies that you do not (or do) have past criminal records or convictions. Note that this does not include civil cases. If you were previously involved in a civil lawsuit or currently in one - it will not be in your NBI Clearance.

The Online Process

To save time and avoid long lines, here's an overview of the steps to take in order to obtain your record.
