Sorry Everyone..

Wow, it has been 2 or 3 weeks since I last visited my blogs. I was busy and lazy, but I think I was more lazy than busy.. hehe..
I am preparing myself and the baby things too. I want it all to be in order before I will have my delivery. It is my first time, so I'm a bit scared. Please pray for me and my baby, hope I will have a safe delivery.

Thank you for all the visits, please keep on visiting in my site.

P.S.: to all who wanted to email me about the exam and visa processing, my email add is khissie@gmail.com .

Winter in Elburg

Infront of our House with snow. Down is the Lake turned into Iced because of Freezing weather.

It is my first winter and I am really amazed with the lakes that turned into ice. I wanted to walk there and feel the ice, but It is so dangerous for me and my baby. I might slip, we don't want that to happen. I am just looking on the kids while they are enjoying playing above the ice.

I love the snow too! Even it is so cold, I love to touch and play with it. I am enjoying my first winter in here..

Last day of Vacation

Today is our last day of vacation from school and the weather is bad. Snowing and raining. I wanted to go out today and walk around but I think we can't. It is so cold outside and wet. Tomorrow I have to be at school again, that will be everyday until end of february. I have to stop by february for my Maternity leave. My due date is March 30, 2009 but I think it will be better to stop earlier than labor at school.

Enjoy the day everyone!

Oliebollen

Oliebollen is a traditional food for dutch people. They usually eat this during New Year's eve and during funfairs. It is sometimes called Dutch Donut in english. The dough is made up of flour, eggs, yeast, salt, milk, baking powder and raisins or apple slices. They will cook it in a hot wok or deep fryer until golden brown. And it is serve with powdered sugar.

I tried my first Oliebollen last month when we bought it in the bakery. It taste like donut with raisins. It is yummy. This coming New Year's Eve, my Parents-in-law will make Oliebollen. Im sure it will be yummy!

Discount coupon codes

Shopping is girls best friend. I love to shop a lot specially my shoes. It is my hobby even Hubby doesn't like it. Nowadays I don't have time to go out and shop. I am so busy with school, house, my coming baby and hubby, so internet shopping is the best option for me. Good that internet is available twenty four hours a day, everywhere, we can shop and choose the things we like without any hassle.
A lot thinks that shopping in the internet is expensive but I found Findsavings.com which is giving Discount Codes to all. YES you read it right. Shopping will never be good without having discounts. I love to shop and save money at the same time.
One of my favorite shoe shop is the Famous Footware. It is mom's or ladies who are fashion-value minded but with latest styles. Their discount coupon code is :1208798 that is for every $100 purchase you will get $20 off. There are still lots of coupon codes on Famous Footware store.

They will prepare gourmet (its a meat you will cook in oil in the middle of the table while you are eating), Gebak (Cake), wines and some other typical dutch foods. Its my first Christmas here with Hubby's family. It's a bit lonely because I can't be with my parents but that's life right?

Been busy

I was really busy in the past days. Hubby has flu. I am not feeling well too. I am under observation with my UTI. The midwife told me that I have to go to the doctor right away because UTI can cause early delivery. I don't want to risk my baby's life.
Second is, Christmas is coming. My in-laws will have Christmas with us so I have to prepare some foods too.

MVV Application for a dutch Wife

To all the Filipina/Filipino who are married to a dutch man/woman and planning to apply for the MVV. All you need to do are:

• After marriage, wait for the Marriage Certificate from NSO (National Statistics Office). In my case, it took 21 working days before I got it.
• Go to DFA main office in Authentication Department for the Red Ribbon. I suggest you to authenticate 2 Marriage contracts and 1 Birth Certificate. It will take 5 working days before you will get your papers back.
• Go to the Netherlands Embassy or Cebu consulate for the Legalization of papers. Check in Netherlands Embassy website for the payment. It is on the Tarrif Section. It will take 5 working days.
• When you got the papers, send it to your husband/wife in Netherlands for the Gemeente (City hall) Registration. It will take 8 weeks to be fully registered because Gemeente will send it to IND and the Politie (police) and check if the marriage is real. They will make some few investigations.
• Take the Basis Examen in Netherlands Embassy Manila. (Click the Home to see about the Exam and procedures).
• You can apply right away your MVV in the Netherlands Embassy Manila and it wil take 3 months before the result.
• OR you can file advice in IND for more secure result. It is a free paper checking and you will get result after 4-5 weeks. If it is a positive advice, you can get your MVV after 5 days or 14 days if you will take D+C visa.

Hope this clears your questions. Goodluck! Just leave me a message for more questions or read my other posts.

TaalMarkt in Landstede Harderwijk

Yesterday was the scheduled taalMarkt in preparation for the Inburgering examen. The said activity is so important for allthe students. We had our taalmarkt at Landstede Harderwijk. Each of the student will be given envelopes with their names and class level. I am A1-A2 Level. You need to talk with the teachers in dutch with some situations and you have to answer them. It was a little hard for me. After 3 situations, you can go to the other room for the reading and writing skills. I finished the reading in writing in just 10 minutes, quite easy for me. I was all finished by 10:30 am.
