Yiipppppeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great happy news!!!! Sj just got a new job.He had been looking for one since a long time.He was in an Indian company and was here on a project.Now he is palced in an american company with a better pay and benefits.They would file for green card later for us with no cost of ours.This was ht echange i had mentioned in an earlier post.We were so busy looking for new aparments last week.We want to furnuish the new apartmnet really good.There is nothing much furniture and stuff in this apartment where we stay now cuz we never had plans to stay here for long... this is a great change to happpen now...The best thing is, the new place where we would stay would be just 8 miles from my dad's place...So he can just come and stay with us anytime.lala lala laaalaaa.
The company pays for our relocation and lease break and stuff.They would even pay a few bucks extra to us before we move to chicago.So its really cool..I love shopping.We both want to buy a good king size bed, a sofa and someother stuffs for the new apartment.AAAAhhhhhhh!!!! Im so excited.
Sj always wanted a job change.He had applied at so many places,but got very less interviews.Its so difficult to get a new job in US now.But last month, he had 2 interviews, one at chicago and one at Camarillo, California.Sj loves California.Always wanted to work there.But this Chicago job is more rpomising than the other one.So decided to go with this.Moreover we have no friends or relatives in CA. im so glad im moving closer to my dad.Wish me luck everyone.Will update about everything regarding my shifting.Have fun.

back from choicago

Hi.I am back from Chicago.I was at my dad's place and i really felt sad seeing my mum leave.I would have loved to see her stay back for some more time.We argue quite a lot when we are together.But still we have great love and respect for eachother which many others dont know.I bought a few gifts for mu mum.A lip colour and eye shadow and stuff... she usually doesn't wear much make up.But the ones i bougth were almost skin tones.So it was okai.Mum reached safe and thankfully the flight was on time.Another really lucky thing to happen was that mu mum could sent 2 baggages.Yeah, She had 2 almost over weight baggages and a truly over weight hand baggage.Incase they had made her open the hand baggage, things would have popped out of it as in an insan epopcorn machine.A friend had gifted her with a lots of kitchen wares which she was keen to carry with her.Then she had all these gifts she had bought for our relatives,mostly perfumes and stuff.Then she had bought her favourite brand of perfume for herself, J'adore.Well, I love it too.Its worth the $85 spent on it.I love it.But my mum love sit more.So all this had made her bags really heavy.We were really worried as she was travelling alone.But my dad knew someone at the airport.But we weren't sure we would meet her there.he just knew this lady, but wasn;t very colose to her or something.Thank god we met her at the airport.This lady works for the Indian airlines and she helped us by sending all my my mum's bags in baggage without even weighing them.All she had to carry was a laptop bag.Thank god .
I bought a mineral make up for myself.Find it good.But nothing to beat my Loreal 3 in 1 foundation stick.Its really good.Though they suggest that the moneral make up can be worn by itself, i use it like a compact after my Loreal stick and i works better this way for me.

In Chicago to see off mum

Hi.Im in Chicago now.My mum is going back on thursday and i decided to stay with her till then.Sj has went back today morning as he has to attend office.We went shopping yesterday and mum bought Jadore perfume.She loves it and had been looking for good deals on it ever since she came.I bought an American beauty mineral makeup for myself. I never had plans for buying it, I just tried and when everyone told me it was good on me.So ended up spending $25 on it.These things are expensive.I wanted a buy a good concealer i found later which was another 22 bucks, but decided against it as i felt i shouldn't be spending so much on cosmetics, atleast till i start earning some money.I watched Sex n the City last thursday and kinda liked it.Im a sex n the city fan n watch it regularly on tv.So i badly wanted to watch the movie.Though Sj is not very fond of the series, he still agreed to take me for it.The movie was kinda good.Im not sure if i really loved it.I felt it was a bit dragging.But i liked the stuff.
Im very sad now that my mum is leaving.Both my mum n dad very gloomy too.I even saw my dad crying cuz he doesn't wana stay away from my mum.My dad is on a greencard here and my mum can actually visit any time.She got a visa for 10 years.But she has a few responsilities there to take care of and she is working too.I'l write in detail about it later.But im sure my decision to stay here for a week has really helped.My dad wouldn't atleast feel very lonely after my mum has left.Its been almost 2 months since my mother came.But time seems to be in great rush.I hope evryone has a great week ahead.HAve fun.

Back to square one

Hi all.Last 2 weeks had been quite busy.A change i badly needed.My mum was here with me and with the dance practices in full swing, i had a great time.My mum returned with my dad yesterday and the dance got over on saturday.So its back to square one now.Im again here, sitting on my sofa, laptop in front of me,blogging with the tv switched on.Im watching [or atleast thats on tv now] american morning and these guys are discussing Obama and Hilary....Im not sure how much im listening.But the tv is switched on and would be so the wholw day.Do i sound a bit depressed?Well, incase i dont, let me tell u that im.Not exactly depressed,but im sad.Im sad that my mum left and that the dance is over.The dance good and we got hell lot of appreciation on saturday.It was a great feeling when it was over.It was a complete Indian bollywood and classical based dance.I'l upload it in youtube and then i will add the link here.Im not sure how many of you will enjoy it.But i cant explain the fun i had.Getting the costume was the most difficult thing to do.Finally we decided on draping a sari.But it was difficult to dance on sari.So my mum came up with this idea of a qiock temporary stitching of the saro to make it look like a skirt...It allw orked well and we all had cosrumes.We even made similar accessories with lace and other simple stuffs we bought from Micheals.Now a hint about the change i had mentioned to u earlier in another post.We might move from our current place soon.Nothing is confrmed.But we might.Moe details soon to come.have fun all.Have a great weekend ahead.

Quick update

Hi all.Im very busy these days for a change.We are dancing in the temple on june 7th.So its almost practice whole day.Friends come over in the morning and practice whole day.Then setting up the CD n stuff.We are doing an Indian cinematic dance.Its actually a medley.Its going good.Sissy, I had a great time at the weddding.We and this other guy were the only Indians there.The other guy was there just for half an hour.So in effect we were the only Indians there.Sissy, Thanks for the help in choosing my dress.Its was lovely and thanks for reminding me about the accessories.I bought a nice good high heels for myself.I was just disappointed that we couldn't wait to see the dance.To tell u the truth, i wasn't very comfortable to wait till that time.After the food, we waited for almost an hour and still there didn't seem to be any plan to dance any sooner..lol... It was just the people very close to them who were left by that time, all others had kinda left.So I almost was starting to feel out of place and we decided to leave.The bride looked gorgeous.I loved her dress.I'l post in detail later.Take care all.have fun.

Update

I went to Chicago last weekend.It was fun.On saturday we went to watch a show by some Indian artists.It was really fun.There some actors from India.Though i wasn't very interested in going and went just cuz my dad insisted that i did, im really am glad i went.I really enjoyed watching the show.On Sunday i shopped,shopped and shopped again.But all i ended up buying were 2 t-shirts [one for Sj and one for my brother] and a skirt n top.The skirt n top are for the wedding this Saturday.This is the first American wedding im ever attending. always wanted to attend one.The weddings over here are very different from ours.I love the white beautiful dresses brides wear.Im hoping to buy one for myself when i have a job abd can afford one.I knows it sounds insane.But i really want one.The new skirt i bought is black, knee length and the top is white.I loved the skirt and the top, i just liked it.I cant say i loved it.But it was all i could come up with after shoppung for 3 hours.I went mad.Everything i found was either too short, or too deep at the neck or with string sleeves and im not comfortable wearing them.I wish i was thinner.Im 129 pounds now.sob.. sob.. There was this black dress i had liked and had a good fit too.But somehow i didn't buy that.I think too many black dresses i found there got me confused.Whatever!i have somemore shopping to do.There is a function at the temple on June 17th.We are dancing for the function.We started our practice yesterday.I have to go for rpactice today too.Hope u all had a great week end too.Have fun.enjoy your day.
