Bumoto Ako and USA!!! A-OK!!!

After reading Emily's latest post, I was reminded that November is National Blog Posting Month. I didn't blog yesterday, which means I'm already a day behind, so I've decided to use November as post more than once a month month.

It's Election Day in the U.S., and I'm so happy that this means the end of all those annoying commercials on T.V., and those obnoxious mailers filling up my postbox and wasting trees. This morning I voted and was rewarded afterward with the rad, multilingual "I voted" sticker:


For anyone else reading this in the U.S., is it commmon to have "I voted" in this many Asian dialects, or is it a San Gabriel Valley thing? (Btw, Bumoto Ako is Tagalog.)

In other personal news, my boyfriend in Buenos Aires obtained a B-2 Visitor Visa last week! Even more exciting is that it's valid for 10 years! We were both stressing that for the past few months and it's such a relief that all the paperwork and interviews are done with. I can't wait to take a road trip with him to Vegas.

Yeah, it's the same guy you met when you came to BA.

And instead of voting for one of the candidates for CA governor that were on the ballot, I wrote in George W. Bush just because I miss him so much.
