My immigration status is over

I am already a US citizen, and on August 14 I applied for DUAL citizenship, and took an oath to remain a Philippine citizen. Now I can stay in the Philippines anytime I want. Not only that, but in being a dual citizen, I have many advantages. I can buy property in the Philippines with my name on it. Finally, the long journey of my immigration status is over. I'm NO longer an immigrant in this country. I am proud to be American, as well as a Philippine citizen. I am very excited about voting in the coming (US) elections. Also, I want to vote in the Philippine election; this is my first time to vote. I never voted before, mainly because I was discouraged about the candidates. We all know that there are a lot of corrupt people in the goverment, but now I've changed my mindset about it. I realize it could be a lot worst if I don't participate; as an American and a Philippine citizen, I should participate and vote.

Trip to Philadelphia

On the way home.we bought Lots of margaritas for that night. I rarely drink, should I say I drink occasionally, my favorate is "margarita on the rocks". he drink at least 3-4 times a week. I don't have problem with it. he drink mostly during weekends and he is responsible enough for himself.

I had chicken soup with some wild rice in it;and boiled clams supposed to be appetizer but to me its considered a side dish.

We had dinner at The Grog

We parked a long the street which is a typical parking lot in larger cities
