My 8 Year-Old Little Christmas Tree

It’s not just a simple and typical Christmas tree. There’s a story behind it. A story that reminds me on how my relationship with my husband started. He didn’t have me at hello. He had me by giving me a very unique Christmas gift on our first Christmas Eve. Oooops just kidding! :p

It was the Christmas Eve of 1999 when my husband gave it to me who was my one-week-old-boyfriend at that time. I was literally weeping over not having the chance to celebrate my Christmas with my family for the first time, because I was already here in Bahrain. He was trying to console me by telling me it’s okay, we can celebrate here anyway blah blah blah…. Before we headed for the Christmas midnight mass, he asked me to go with him to town, but never had the idea that he would actually get a Christmas tree for me.

Call me sentimental but I still keep it as much as I value our relationship. It is very much in good condition. In fact, it was up yesterday and kept in the corner of our living room.

I could get a new tree, a bigger one, a fancier one. But there’s just something about my 8 year-old little Christmas tree… You figure it out! 😉

I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.

Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.

From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.

A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
