My side of things
Sam just posted his first post, I’m not sure if he actually read the first one I put up, but he suggested I write about us.
To make the background short, I didn’t think I’d ever get married…. then Sam came along and now I’m engaged. On some occasions I wonder what in the world got into me- or perhaps, what I’ve gotten myself into. Here’s someone from a totally different culture and country, haven’t known for very long – but well, hey- my parents and family really like him and so do I. While there are many things we both see eye to eye, I’m sure there are countless things we won’t be seeing eye to eye with. Despite the major cultural and racial differences between us I think and hope we’ll be all right together.
It’ll be at least a few more years before we marry because we’re both basically working students. And while I feel that there’s so much more to do before actually settling down and marrying – I’m happy and feel lucky knowing that I have him. I’m involved in many humanitarian projects and am loving it. I have many other things I’m trying to run but humanitarian work is my biggest priority.
Right now he’s back home in New Zealand and I’m here, home in the Philippines. It’ll be a long time before I see him again. Thank God for technology! I’ll post some pictures of where I’m from sometime soon.
