Tribute for Corazon Aquino

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 22:44:00 +0000

What do I know about her?

She is known as (Tita) Cory Aquino.
The first female Philippine President from 1986 to 1992.
She was a brave leader and known for her commitment to democracy, peace, and women's issues.
The widow of Benigno Aquino Jr, a former leader of Philippine opposition who was assasinated in 1983 at Philippine NAIA which explains why the place is named after him. (Ninoy Aquino International Airport)
She is famously known of her trademark - yellow dress.
She is 76 years old.

The reason why I know her this much is that she became the President of the Philippines after the People's Power on February 25, 1986. Since then, February 25 is declared a holiday every year. If that doesn't make any sense, February 25 is my birthday...

But today, August 1, 2009, after she had suffered a series of health problems and due to complications from colon cancer, she already passed away :(.

President Cory Aquino

May You Rest In Peace!

The Modern Wedding March

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 01:26:00 +0000

I saw this Youtube video via W@W's blog post and I find it really funny so I couldn't help myself not to grab it and post it here. It gave me an idea of doing this same stunt to our wedding but geezzh, my ever conservative and religious family would curse me and would never want to see me again. hehe. Well, I believe that the Catholic church would never allow this especially in the Philippines. The priest and my grandparents might have a heart attack seeing something like this so of course, I wouldn't want that to happen. :P

Overall, I find this really entertaining and one of the coolest and unforgettable wedding. :)

Enjoy!

Wedding Checklist

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 20:51:00 +0000

I know that wedding planning and preparation is going to be a tough task especially for a future bride like me who is never been an organize person. Thank God our target wedding date is a year from now. Although it doesn't really calm me down since I have to plan two weddings. We have decided to have a Philippine church wedding and a Norwegian garden wedding for the sake of our families in both sides. Sounds like we have to rob a bank first though :P. So to start with and for me to be able to avoid the hassle, I have made a checklist. Here is my tentative list:

Church
Reception Venues
Documents/Requirements
Theme/Motiff & Designs
List of Entourage
Possible No. of Guests
Bridal Car/Carriage
Wedding Coordinator
Videographer & Photographer
Wedding Gown
Entourage Clothes
Wedding Souvenirs
Wedding Cake and Wine
Save the Date
Invitations
Wedding Songs
Wedding Vows
Florists
Hair & Make Up
Honeymoon? LoL :D

List is incomplete I know! So what else? :P

Well, I'm using The Knot and been a member there even before he proposed to me. Hehe. It is very helpful to me coz it has a wedding planning tools that provides everything that a bride is looking for. It is one of the high ranking American based website but that didn't stop me from joining them. It has a checklist, budgeter, guest list tools and there you can browse from thousands of gowns and get ideas. Another helpful and informative site I joined is the W@W or Weddings At Work. It's like a Philippine version of The Knot but there you can join their yahoo groups or forums and talk to fellow Filipina brides or bride to be's. You can ask for their tips and suggestions based on their own experiences plus you can gain more friends online and possibly meet them in real life :P. Oh and they didn't pay me for this. I'm just having fun using these sites so I thought of sharing it. Might be helpful to some bride to be's like me out there too. :)

People of the Philippines vs. Me

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:28:00 +0000

''Ignorance of the law must not prevent the losing attorney from collecting his fee''

This quote exactly describes what I've been thinking lately and has been pissing me off for the past few days. Instead of us focusing in our wedding plans and starting out with our lives, we can't really do it because we still have some problems that we have left behind in the Philippines. The past that until now continues to hunt us and have left a big scar in me. My heart that is now full of anger and doesn't know to trust anymore.

Its confidentiality prevents me from voicing out what I feel and think about it. One thing that really annoys me is that I can't even write the real names of the people involve and the real story here. As my husband told me, ''wag na daw namin bigyan pa ng bala ang kalaban na ipambabaril saamin''. So what? I'll just keep my mouth shut, remain silent and let the evil prevail?!

I am one of those Filipinos who doesnt trust JUSTICE in the Philippines. Who is ashamed of our country when it comes to the politicians or government authorities, the policemen, the lawyers, even the taxi drivers. They all have something in common -- CORRUPTION. It sucks but it's true. Before, I thought that it's only a story in movies (kathang-isip). But after I have experience it all, I realized it's really happening in real life. It is true that with money, you can make a blind person see. With money, you can make the wrong things right. With money, you can make impossible things possible. With money, you can manipulate things and the people around you.

So much for this, I should be talking about our lawyer only. But I'm just really upset about everything and I couldn't just blame our lawyer. It's about all of the people who betrayed us and screwed our lives.

We were in the right side. We have all the strong evidences. We have the money. But what seems to be wrong? Our lawyer who doesnt seem to care about us?! Who only cares about money?! That we don't know if he's just taking advantage of us because of our weaknesses... I don't know anymore. :(

What makes me more upset is that we are thinking about settling down with our evil opponent. We are thinking about letting them win. Letting the wrong be right. So that I dont have to fly back to the Philippines and so that we won't be separated again. My hubby just wants to have a peace of mind and for us to be able to start a happy life together. I know he is right. I know that it's the best thing we can do but I can't. :( I don't want to. It's hard for me to accept it. It has left a big mark on me. A big trauma. Aside from the thousands of money that we've spent for nothing, all I think about now is, ''how about the damages it costs me?'' How about the 2 years that I was fighting alone, scared and miserable. How about my heart that felt hatred until now? How about the 2 years of sufferings and embarassment that I never deserved?!

In being practical and facing the reality, yes it was just all for nothing. It was all wasted. God knows how much I want to fight for this but I know I dont deserve another year of miserable life without him. :( I know when to give up. It is NOW. It is time to stop and leave it all to God. It is time to move on.

Although sometimes I wonder if there really is such a thing as karma. I hope karma exists, because there are some bastards out there who deserve some major payback. And if it really does exist, it is something I'll just hold on for now to live with a peace of mind...

Greys Anatomy: Alex & Izzie's Wedding Vow

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:21:00 +0000

Me and my hubby is a number one fan of American tv shows. Greys Anatomy is only one of those shows that hooked us up. I know I'm too late for this season but I can't help not to express my reaction to this show after I've watched its last episodes. I only watch this show with my husband. I can still remember when we were still in the Philippines I can't wait for him to download new episodes to sit or lie in our soft couch hugging each other while watching it . But then he had to go back to Norway last year so I had to forget my addictness to this show. It's never the same watching it alone. I dont know, I just love watching it with him. It's more fun and giggly when we watch it together especially when there are some scenes that we can actually relate with. So now that we're finally back and living together again, we were so excited downloading all of the episodes we missed and we're back to our every night routine watching it after his work. But now I'm sad that we're done watching all of the episodes already. We'll probably just gonna download more or another American tv shows for tomorrow while we're waiting for Grey's new season to come :)

While watching the last episodes, there is one scene that really catched my attention and really made me cry. It's when Alex Karev recited his wedding vow to Izzie Stevens infront of everyone. It's a tearjerker scene ever! Since I'm a future bride and planning my own wedding, I'm really catchy with all the wedding details I've come across with whether it's on internet, tv shows or real life. I dont know, I guess that's how excited a bride can be. :P Karev's wedding vow is soo sweet and touching. It made me feel that I want my groom to recite that same wedding vow for me. But well, when I told him that, he thinks I'm insane and he told me that he'll make his own wedding for me and that it is going to be a surprise. Well that's enough for me to fantasize it even more and I couldn't wait to hear his vows and promises on our big day. :)

Today’s the day my life begins.

All my life I’ve been just me.

Just a smart mouth kid.

Today I become a man.

Today I become a husband.

Today I become accountable to someone other than myself.

Today I become accountable to you.

To our future.

To all the possibilities that a marriage has to offer.

Together, no matter what happens, I’ll be ready.

For anything.

For everything.

To take on life, to take on love.

To take on possibility and responsibility.

Today Izzie Stevens, our life together begins.

And I for one can’t wait.

c'',)

I got sick the last few days so now I gotta catch up with this blog thingy again. We're also busy checking and looking for some apartments here in Gothenburg coz we need to move again soon, sigh :(. Unfortunately, it's so hard for us to find one. Seems this place doesn't have enough houses or apartments for all the people who wants to live here. Most of the apartments we saw was like too far away from the city or under our budget. We're gonna live there for like a year so I want it to be nice and accessible everywhere especially to the shops and to my school. I'm crossing my finger that we'll be able to find a perfect place soon or else I wouldn't really enjoy living in this place. hehe.

By the way, we already have a name for our puppy. Now we're calling her ''Jacki''. :) I have made up lots of reasons why. :P At first we wanted to name her, Jappy or some Japanese names since she's a Japanese Spitz but we couldn't agree about anything. Then I wanted to name her something that identifies her color. Snow white, snow, marsh mallow, all the crazy names came to my mind and I still got a NO from him. And then, since we got her when Michael Jackson died, I kept thinking of something that is related about MJ. So the name ''Jacko'' came to my mind and how I drooled for liking that name for our pet. Too bad our pet is a girl so I tried to just forget it and just think of another name. Until I've talked to my mother-in-law and she gave me some suggestions and we both laughed coz she suggested the same name, ''Jacko'' :D. So there, we twisted the name and got more ideas. From Jecka, Recca, Mecka, blah blah.. until she mentioned 'Jackie'. I haven't really thought about that name coz it's a human name for me plus, I have a friend called Jacky so I might offend her. hehe. But well, I started to like that name so who the hell cares?! :D So now, it's her official name and she's getting used to it now. She'll instantly run to us when we call her Jacki so for sure she likes it. :P

Anyways, we went out for a walk yesterday and we brought her with us while we went to check another apartment. It was soo funny how lots of people are staring at us (or just at Jacki). They all find her really cute. All the kids we saw wanted to carry her and play with her. All the people on the bus tried to get our attention and talk about our pet. It feels like we have a cute lil' baby and we are a very proud mommy and daddy. hehe.

Here's some of our pics while we are on our way home yesterday.

A nice walk with Jacki :)

A family picture ^^

One more time! :P

Smile baby Jacki! :P

She's tired..

Man's bestfriend :)

789...10 (July 8,2009)

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 17:24:00 +0000

On this, July 8th, 2009, I'm bored and I have nothing in my mind to write up here so I'll just offer ten things I’m grateful for today. :)

1.) Beautiful Sunshine.
2.) Waking up with my husband.
3.) His Good Morning kisses.
4.) Peace. That we're finally out or have less worries now.
5.) Privacy. Having our own place. Enjoying our moments together.
6.) Nice breakfast. A sweet meal I prepared and we've shared.
7.) Greys Anatomy. Our favorite show. We love it!
8.) Mail. Got a letter from our friend. A funny postcards and our pictures while travelling together.
9.) TFC. The Filipino Channel. It feels just like home while I'm watching my fave shows in Philippines.
10.) New found friends. I'm finally able to have someone to talk to and hang out here other than my hubby. :P

See? My day wasn't so interesting and so exciting today but at least I'm able to fill all these up to ten! Made me realize how lucky I still am. Wuhooo! :D

Thank's God for all the blessings and for giving me a wonderful life each day. :))

Introducing: Our New Pet!

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:38:00 +0000

Hmm, it's been awhile since my last post due to the busy-ness and adjustments I'm going through lately. Anyways, yesterday we went to Fristad, (outside Borås) here in Sweden. Well, what we did there is just to check and see a Japanese Spitz puppy, which is going to be our pet soon. :) It took us 2 hours to get there and another 2 hours going back to our place but it was all worth it after we saw how cute the puppies are. Papa Lars is a pet lover. He grew up with lots of animals surrounding him so that's why. Be it horse, cats, dogs, etc. geezz, he's so fond of it. In his family, they treat animals just like humans. Unlike me, I grew up to where we don't really appreciate animals. For us, they were just pets. I can say that in Philippines, most people are cruel to animals. It's not that I hate pets but I'm scared of them. Or should I say I'm disgusted of them. I think they're all dirty. I don't really like touching them and I feel like they'll always bite me. Aside from that, I don't really like the responsibilities of having a pet. But Papa Lars was so persistent and tried to convince me about it. Part of it is because he badly wants to have a baby now. He's been ready long time ago while I'm not sure if I already am but I will be when the time comes. :) So I couldn't say no to him when he ask me to get a pet coz I know it's just his way of longing to have a baby. But after I said yes to him about getting a dog, we had some disagreements about what type of dog we'll get. I want a dog that is white, small and cute coz at least I wouldn't be that scared to them. While he wants a real big dog. He wanted a husky, labrador or golden retriever but he knew I wouldn't convince me to those ever. He considered getting a Jack Russel terrier instead but I still disagree about it. But one day, while we were walking around the city, we saw a woman who has this cute white dog. I felt so giggly seeing it. I told him that that's exactly the dog I want. So we asked the woman of what type of dog it is so there, she told us it's a Japanese Spitz. So right after we got home, we googled about it and there we found out how perfect it would be for us. So then we started looking for those types of puppies for sale and we're so lucky to have found one and we excitedly called the owner.

Just as we get there, to the place where the puppies are, I was all freaking out coz I didn't realize how many dogs they have in their house. It was like 9 dogs including the 6 puppies. But I was right. They're really adorable and kind. Right then, we're both sure we're gonna get one of them. Seems like I forgot my phobia with dogs when I saw them. They're all really cute so we were confuse about which to choose among 6 puppies. They all look just like babies wanting some attention. I wanted to bring one of them home that day already but too bad we couldn't yet. :( Here in Sweden, they have regulations in getting a dog. One of them is that it has to be 8 weeks old before you can actually sell a puppy or separate it from its parents. They don't sell dogs in a petshop here too. They have to stay with their parents in the house of their owners until they're ready to be sold. It's a very good policy that's why dogs here are so behave and well disciplined. The first time I got here in Gothenburg, I noticed almost everyone go for a walk with their pet dogs. So our new puppy will be 8 weeks after 7 more days so we have to go back there again to pick it up. It's a hassle but we don't have a choice. hihi.

For now, we're just waiting for our new pet and I'm sooo excited to bring her home. Yup, it's a girl so now we're also thinking and deciding for her name. We're thinking of Japanese names like Yuna which means blessing, Yumi means beauty, Yuki means snow, and some crazy english names, like marshmallow, gummibear, claudia, winter, snowie etc. (lol) but well, I'll just announce it here in my blog as soon as we've come up for anything. We already have been shopping for her bed and toys too. I'm sure she'll be like a spoiled brat puppy coz we will treat him just like our own baby. Lucky her! :D :D :D

Til' next time! :)

Michael Jackson ''King of Pop'' - 1958 - 2009

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 23:22:00 +0000

A legend has died...

What a sad day today. After Farrah Fawcett, now is the ''King of Pop''. I'm not a big fan of MJ but I am shocked to hear this sad news. Michael Jackson died at 50 due to cardiac arrest. This is such a realization that life is really short and that we ALL come and go.

May You Rest In Peace MJ!!!

Our Hometowns

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:58:00 +0000

Just right after we got engaged, me and my fiance' instantly talked about our wedding. First things we thought of is ''where'' and ''when''. Since he's a Norwegian and I'm a Filipina, we've had a hard time deciding about it. It is very important for him to have our wedding in Norway. For one, it's gonna be the first wedding in their family. Everyone is excited for him and everyone wants to be there on his wedding of course. Aside from that, Mimmi, who is his grandma is very close to him as he is the first grandson. His grandparents can't really travel that far now due to their age. For me, of course, I want everyone special for us to be there on our wedding day. But my family would be upset if it's not gonna be in Philippines. I have lot's of relatives and we can't afford to pay for all their plane tickets and accomodations if our wedding is gonna be in Norway. We both doesn't wanna give in. We both want all our friends and loveones to witness our special day. So to make it fair for everyone, we decided to have two weddings eventhough we're not really sure about our budget. hihi. So goodluck to us. :P So now is the ''where's?''. We chose to do it in our hometowns since that's where we grew up and it's accesible for all our relatives to get there. But the purpose of this post is to brag about our hometowns. So here's a few pics of the places that is worth seeing, visiting and experiencing to where we grew up...

The Proposal

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:42:00 +0000

Filipino's are known as conservative. Specially those that lives in my hometown. In the early years of our relationship I was already pressured with all the gossips and to what the people would think about us. Not just from my family and friends but from all the people who knows me. For them, living together without marriage (live-in) is like a crime. I myself never thought I would enter to such relationship. It just happened. I was inlove and I chose to be happy. I can remember my parents would push us to get married before. I can understand them. But they knew they can't do anything about it. From the very start, we don't want anyone to control us. But as a girl, who wouldn't want to marry the guy you love? I admit I was ready long time ago. He wasn't. There was a time that I'd question him about it that leads to an argument. It happened more than once that almost caused our break up. But of course, love prevailed. :)

As the years go by, I got used to it. I don't care about what others has to say. Trials has strengthen our relationship. Year 2007 when we had to be separated. We didn't have a choice. He has to work in Norway while I decided to go back to school. I have missed him badly. It was so hard for both of us although I was liking that at least I can focus with school. But that long distance situation has made a good outcome for us. He had all his time alone to miss me, and realize how much he loves me. :)

Until after more than a year of not seeing each other, we finally had a chance to meet again. November 2008, we've spent a two weeks vacation in Thailand. For 2 weeks, we tried to make up for all the times we've lost without each other. But it wasn't enough. We had to say goodbyes again but he promised we will see each other again soon.

Christmas 2008, as he promised, I was given a chance to be with him again in Norway. It was just a tourist visa for 3 weeks so again, a limited time for both of us. But I never knew that it'll be the happiest xmas I'll ever have. Aside from I have finally met all his family and friends, on xmas eve, he popped the question! On bended knees, he's got a ring on his hands and he asked me to marry him. I felt too uncomfortable and sweaty that time coz his family was around. But of course, what do you expect me to say? I've been waiting for it for a long time so my answer was, OF COURSE YES! hehe. :D Right after I said yes, he hugged me so tight and kissed me happily. He asked his family to join us, as if we're gonna have a conference. And right there, he announced that we're getting married. Everyone was so happy for us. The next day, we called my parents to tell them the good news too. They're first question was ''when?!'' :P And their reaction was like, ''finally!'' or ''it's about time!''. I knew that both our parents were just waiting for that announcement. So now, they're all happy for us and they're excited for our wedding.....soon! :))

How We Met?

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:23:00 +0000

Most of the people I know wonders or usually ask me this question. Question should be, where we met. Some would guess that we met thru internet or online chatting. I don't know why they think that but they sound like as if online chatting is the only way to know or meet a foreigner boyfriend. I know that lot's of pinays nowadays do that and I know a lot of friends/people who found their love through internet but that's not what happened in our case ;-)

We met on December 27, 2004 in Hongkong. We were both young back then. I was 19 years old and he was 23. I don't wanna be so detailed here but it was a Cinderella type of story :P. I was working in one of the bars there as a waitress while he works in one of the US-based computer gaming company situated there. I was just there for 3 months while he was taking a break there for almost a year after he's been travelling around the world and enjoying his young and bachelor life. A Filipina and a Norwegian, came all the way to Hongkong just to meet each other?! I call it a destiny :).

From the very first time we met, we knew we like each other already. We started dating without talking about our feelings. I wasn't even sure if he's my bf already. I was clueless about our relationship back then. All I know is that we like each other. But we were tested with the time and situation. I had to go back to Philippines and I thought I will never see him again. But he made a way. He followed me :). He went to Philippines to meet my family and to get to know me more. That time I dont know what's really going on. My parents wouldn't even believe me when I told them that we were just friends. What should I tell them? He didn't even ask me if I love him and he never told me he loves me. But after his 2 weeks vacation with me, he realized he doesn't wanna live without me. To cut the story short, he brought me back to Hongkong until I realized that we're actually living in together already. Our situation, not being old enough and the visa problems that keeps us being separated is what pushed him to finally confess his true feelings for me. It was like a music in my ears when he finally said he loves me :)). But our trials and challenges doesn't end there. Ours is one of a long and tragic love story. If I could write it all and submit it for MMK (Maalaala Mo Kaya), i think it could win a most tearjerker story award! haha.

Anyways, that's how we met and that's how our love story started. I might blog more stories on my next posts but that's all for now. Ciao! :))

Hectic Season!

daze.lien@gmail.com (Aze) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 23:15:00 +0000

Year 2009 is really a busy year for me. After Papa Lars proposed to me last December 2008, there were so many things lined up in my to-do list. I'm always stressed and confused about everything so I don't know how or where to start with all of it. Starting with fixing all the paperworks, visa, getting married, school papers, and the neverending travelling and moving there and everywhere. It's just so exhausting especially that I'm trying to adopt a new environment too. I'm trying so hard to get myself organize but my days would always end up without any accomplishment at all.

So here's my MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and we'll see how it'll work out in after a year. :)

1. Plan our wedding(s).

May 2010 is the target date. Imagine how tough it is for me to plan and organize both of our Philippine and Norway wedding on the same month next year. I feel like a celebrity, I have to plan our wedding a year earlier. So these days, a bride-to-be needs to be organized. Whew! :P

2. Update this blog everyday!

My wedding plans inspires me to do this, so I'll try to update this blog once and awhile about my wedding planning process and whatever that may come up in my everyday life :)

3. Learn Swedish.

Yeah, I'm gonna be in school soon to learn this language and just by thinking about it, I feel like I'm nosebleeding already! I'm a Filipina and my fiance' is a Norwegian then I'll end up learning Swedish. Ugh. I badly want to go to a University here or get a job so I hope I'll learn their language asap. But I'm so excited for this language course, at least I'm gonna meet new friends with different races. :)

4. Learn cooking & (baking).

It's not that I don't know how to cook but I'm just not confident with the way I cook. I dont know much about Scandinavian foods and I want to impress my inlaws everytime they come visit us. I also want them to try some Filipino foods but geeezz, I'm so scared to try coz im worried they'll throw it out. :P

5. DIET!!!

Yep. In capital letters! :P I'm getting fat and I can't be fat. Since I've moved here in Europe, it's so hard for me to watch my diet. I gained like 3 kilos in 3 mos and my belly fat is arrghhh! I have to be sexy on our wedding you know, so I know! I should start working out now before it's too late :P

6. Go for a driving class.

I'll be taking it too so goodluck to me. Hope my brain would be able to absorb everything I have to learn and accomplish this year.

Got My Residence Card Today!!! :)

Today is one of my happiest day ever. After a few weeks of worrying, and bothering myself with so many questions like, ''Will I get it?'', ''Is it going to be approved?'', ''Am I going back to Philippines?'', and after checking our mailbox for like 2-3 times a day, crossing my fingers waiting for the letter from the embassy, now I can finally take a deep breathe and say ''Finally!!!'' After all that we've been through, it was really worth it. :))

The residence card I got is valid for 5 years which means I'm allowed to stay and travel in all the countries of the European Union without a visa. After 5 years, I can become a Swedish citizen. :)

The application process was really fast and easy. And hey, it's free! That's what I love in Europe, almost everything is free and very convenient. :) We were told that the usual processing time was up to 2 months, but it took us exactly 3 weeks only! And while waiting for the result, I'm already allowed to work, study or live just like a normal resident. I thought that was really cool! :P

I am very thankful and I am feeling so blessed for this especially that it means that me and Papa Lars would never be separated again and that this time, we could live happily ever after, TOGETHER. ^_~

Hello World!!!

Hello there :). Aze here. As you can see I'm starting from scratch again. I've had several attempts making my own blog long long time ago but I always end up signing up, posting a few entries and after awhile and not updating it, I've forgotten my passwords and couldn't retrieve it anymore. So we'll see, hope I'll make it up this time :P

So why am I blogging? I have so many stories to tell and so many experiences to share. Here I will write about my everyday life, my past and my future. That includes my love story(ies), my wedding plans, the places I've been, my feelings, my ups and downs and many more. Blogging is my way to overcome boredom. I'm infront of my computer almost 24 hours a day so better to have something to accomplish with. If this goes well, I might try to join the blogvertising which will make me earn money through blogging. :)

As for a lil' info of myself. My friends call me Aze. I'm 24 years old. I'm (secretly) married to

my Norwegian (husband). Why secret? It's for you to find out through my next posts hihi. I call him Papa Lars just so you know as for sure I'll always mention him in this blog. I was born and raised in Bicol, Philippines. I have lived in Manila for the past 3 years and now I'm currently living in Gothenburg, Sweden. I dont know for how long, but we'll probably move again soon. Yeah, I have a portable life since I met him and right now I'm seeking for stability. I have 4 siblings. Three sisters and only brother. I'm the second to the eldest.

I'm a very outgoing person. I'm funny, jolly and determined. I can be the nicest person you will ever know. I'm only snobbish to people I don't like and I'm only a bitch to people who ask for it :P . Well that's all, enough about me.

So welcome to me, and join me as I go through my LIFE - As I rise and fall. :)
