OMG We're Moving!

So.. this is what moving everything is like!


All my life I've lived in just one house - the one where I grew up in the Philippines. We had it remodeled when I was around 14 but it had always been my home sweet home. I moved out when I was 16 to live in DasmariƱas, where I was taking up my college studies but every weekend I still went home to home. When I started working, I lived in several apartments but they were all temporary, weekends I'd still go home to Cavite City and I never really brought all my things with me whenever I lived elsewhere.

Gossip on Immediate Struggles - I Don't Wanna Lose My Dog!

Sssshhhh... Do you like gossip??


No? Well, actually, neither do I.

Oh, you do? Uhm... well... Okay, so this is just a short novel. A real life one, I guess. I wouldn't really say that this is a gossip - it's just a little peak into my life's reality. As I've said before, nothing is really glamorous as it seems - and even the sweetest moments have their heart piercing seconds.

It all started in the city of Oshkosh, where Honey Bear (me) have recently moved from the Philippines. Everything was amazing - the people were kind and nice, the place was not too crowded and just perfect for a simple and quiet life.

Until one day... we got a dog. And it changed everything.

Catching Up : Scrapbooking for My K1 Interview

Mode : Backtracking

Ref my previous blog - I'm back and yay! It's time to catch up in sharing updates, tips and experiences from my visa application, travel and settling in the USA.

The moment of truth has come. I was about to have my interview and all my documents are ready! Okay, "kind of" rather.

Well, everything was ready until I decided to make something special - a nice scrapbook!

During this time, I had just started posting charms and kawaii jewelry on my Starr&Sparkle Shoppe. I was also experimenting in decorating boxes and many other random stuff using quality clay. With only three days left I challenged myself.

Make a kawaii scrapbook!



And a scrapbook I made ^.^

Cry. Just When It's Too Much

I can't cry. Not in front of you.

In a place that's thousands of miles away from home, is a place that I also now call home.

Flying all the way across the Pacific to come here was my biggest challenge. Leave the country I love and my comfort zone which is my family was something I never planned for in my life. Traveling is a part of me, but moving permanently in foreign soil is completely different.

It's been two months since I arrived in the USA. Everything seemed to be going well, until a month later things seem to be spiraling down. There have been changes in work, environment, and everything else.

The emotions are taking its toll.

But what to do? What should I do??

Alex Bear is a strong man. He is a man of virtue, integrity and honesty. I have always adored his principles, his being responsible, and his will. Behind this almost invincible image is a soft and kind husband. Like me, there is a fragile piece that lies within our hearts.

I've sealed my fragile piece a long time ago. As emotional as I am, I try not to get broken. It's had to be strong all the time tho. But right now, I can't cry. I have to be reliable. Strong. Courageous.

I have to cry.

Happy 1st Anniversary Bebe Bears!

Oh yay!!

Happy 1st Year Anniversary!

During the past year, Alex Bear and I have been celebrating our special occasions online. While many people disdain technology's effects to today's society, we have to admit that we owe so many things thanks to the internet and the power of online communication. I'm really happy that we're able to be together, even if not physically, through Skype or Facebook.

A few weeks ago, we celebrated our big day.


The 4th of July

This day commemorates three important things - The American Independence Day, the Filipino-American Friendship Day... and the Polar Honey Bears Day!

On this day, exactly one year ago, I agreed to become my Polar Bear's girlfriend.

Here's a short dedication video for my (literally) White Knight




So I guess I said everything about us in the video, I hope you liked it! Oh and if I talk too much, you can skip to 6 minutes for the fun part LOL!

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!

Random Update #01

Hello lovelies!

Arrrghhhh!!

I know it's been so long since my last entry so in case you guys have been wondering what's up ----- well nothing much but regular life O.o

Well, not really.

Okay, so I noticed that I haven't really put something up for a month! Life has just been pretty hectic the past few weeks. I've been working hard giving me not much time to update my blogs or videos, which is quite sad to be honest.

I'd really love to spend more time to update about my travel and makeup, at the same time about the Polar Honey Bears. However, time is just too fast with so many things to do. Don't you just wish you can freeze time?

I will be working on some of my personal documents next week for my visa. I'm also hoping that fortunately I'd be able to regularly blog and make videos again the week after.



So in the mean time, keep the positive vibes coming! <3
xoxo

The US Visa RFE - Letter of Intent

Note : Download a copy of a Letter of Intent Draft later on this entry!

Evidence. Proof. Something to make them believe that I am not a mail-order bride, and that I will not be a burden to the US of A.

I love Spam! I love Vienna Sausages!
O_o

I don't think I'll ever be a burden... consider that I am already working for a US company, right? Oh well, that's not how the consulate determines one's qualification. No matter how much you love Spam.

Okay, so a month ago Alex Polar Bear received a notice that we should provide further evidence (RFE) of our relationship and they have requested a Letter of Intent to support this fact. I was quite busy during that time so it took me a while to send the document.


So what is this so-called Letter of Intent?

Someone To Lean On + Happy 8th Baby!

OMG it's been eight months!!

[Credits to Photographer/Owner]
Who wants some Grolar Bears!? They are a mix of Polar and Grizzly bears, but I'm not a Grizzly so Alex thought that we're gonna have future Poney Bears as babies!

Anyways it's so unbelievable, time flies so fast. I still remember our first conversations! I was hanging out with one of my friends while Polar Bear and I chatted through WeChat. We didn't really Skype before, we just really talked a lot. We both had a drinking sessions halfway around the world! Guess what? It was so cheesy!!

Those Awkward Sweet Moments

The first few months of being together was amazing. In fact, it's not really that different from what we are now except that we're more open and a lot stronger. When I decided to become Alex Polar Bear's significant other, I knew that it was a serious thing. It wasn't a game and it was something that I will fight for.

However, it felt weird. OMG! I'm one weird girl, how do I keep up being myself??

OMG how do I show him that the real Honey Bear is childish, funny and nonetheless, undignified??

I'm one unique girl with a twisted sense of humor. I'm also awfully blunt and I barely sugarcoat things. I know that he loves me but I was afraid - what if he doesn't like the rest of me? I've always been honest with who I was, my past, my present and my ideas for the future. But then what if I say or do something that he finds distasteful?


Making funny faces - ✔

Well, I guess we're just both crazy ^_^

The Bear Bear Site! Yay!

Hello lovelies!
It's me Kimi from Kimi Goes Places!

Welcome to my site solely dedicated to my adventures with my dear Alex Bear

Everything is still under construction at the moment but I will be updating soon. I think this is just perfect to document our journey, including our travel and visa application process in order to help others who are also wondering about the same thing.

Being in an inter-racial and long distance relationship can be hard. The both of us face struggles of many sorts from cultural differences, the miles between us, to the mere fact that sometimes my tongue gets hard and I can no longer speak proper English. Uhm, yeah I do get tired after six hours of nonstop talking O.o


I will be putting up more updates soon!

xoxo
