Address Change And Meeting Two Filipinas

I was lucky yesterday. I met two Filipinas in McKinney. The first one is working in the Department of Public Safety (DPS). When I called the DPS yesterday afternoon to ask about the change of address, she answered and asked about my residency status. When I told her I am from the Philippines, she started to speak Filipino and told me to come in the office since they are not very busy. I arrived at the DPS about 3:30 P.M. She processed my change of address application. I had my picture taken again and I was given a temporary Driver's Permit. The new Driver's License will be in the mail in 30-45 days.

The second Filipina is working in Walmart. I stopped by at the store to buy an additional pillow for the guest room. She checked me out. I was curious so I asked if she is Filipina. Affirmative. Now she is my friend in Facebook. Isn't that wonderful? :)

Filipina Neighbor

I am so happy because I met a Filipina in Super Target. When I was in the vegetables section looking for some ingredients for the dinner meal tonight, I already noticed that she is a Filipina. Her husband looked and smiled at me. Then after a while, she came near me and asked if I am Filipina. I said “Yes”. We started to get to know a little bit about each other. Her name is Nori and she is from Samar, Philippines-the province that is a couple of kilometers away from Leyte. Her husband is from Chicago. They've been living here in Texas for a year now.

Then they gave me a ride back to the apartment. What amazes me the most was, Nori and her husband are living in the apartment complex located at the block across the street where ours is located. Nice! Now I have a new place to hang out. We agreed to get together some time during her off from work. She is working in Super Target by the way.
