Calaguas is so beautiful, the sand, the water, food is really yummy and people are really great!.. another one big check from my bucket list! enjoy watching :)
That was one trip I'll definitely treasure. The pristine water and beautiful beach of Calaguas is truly something to be experienced! I love Mayon Volcano of course as our backdrop on our Photo shoot hahaha :) I was so blessed to see this wonderful nature. I just couldn't and still can't get over how captivating it was!! It was a best birthday gift from my hubby!! a wonderful trip with my friends!!! I love Philippines!

I'm a type of girl who really loves fun and adventure, trying out wakeboarding is really new for me but hey! I did it and it was so fun 😊. It was not as scary as I thought but a little complicated for a beginner like me, but other than that it was a fun experience. Another check on my bucket list! Wake boarding makes my trip to Bicol Region so memorable and fun! 😊 You can visit their site here: Camsur Watersports Complex CWC
Nag-paangkas ang trip ko 😉
We were so lucky that time because the place is not crowded and we have so much time to enjoy the activity (as in want-to-sawa kami as in wakeboarding till you drop). When we visit the place is it currently under renovation due to the typhoon. I've noticed some broken cottages,the restaurant roof are unfortunately not well maintained and dilapidated,the glass door on the front desk won't close properly and the wood is rotten. Sink is broken and wooden locker room is not available. I must say they need a major upgrade and repair of that place. Restaurant was very slow and most of the food in the menu wasn't available (btw the Chinese Adobois really yummy and affordable). Some of the rooms are close and some of the lake is not operational (under maintenance I guess) in addition for that, the Mayon Volcano is in alert level that time so the place in not jam-packed. (see picture below)
What is Report of Marriage (ROM)? Report of Marriage is a requirement for Filipino overseas who have contracted a marriage abroad whether to a fellow Filipino or a foreign spouse. Some of us who have gotten married overseas are unaware of this step. Some couples forget to process it and some tend to skip on doing it because it takes too much time, money and stressful days (I must say LOL!). It was a bit hassle, though, but in reality, doing this will save you from any trouble later on.
Just a heads-up guys! You should report your marriage within a year or it will be considered as late registration. You have to do it as in NOW!! don't waste time, because Report of Marriage (ROM) is one of the requirements needed for applying dual citizenship or if you want to change you Philippine passport to your married name.
I could only imagine the hassle my husband and I went through just to Report our Marriage in Phil. Embassy in Norway, whereas me was in the Philippines while him is in Sweden (we're back in LRD that time since my visa is already expired. We are in the process of applying my RP visa too and processing all the documents is like a pain in the A! ugh! so much stress that time and I'm glad that I get over it! ). Anyhow! I hope to reach out and help out people who are confused and clueless about the process. I hope my step by step procedure will help you out 😊.
Since the Embassy of Philippines in Stockholm is now closed, we just; follow the instructions we found in the site of Philippine Embassy in Norway (Oslo). According to the instruction of the Philippine Embassy in Norway:
Check this site (below) for further information/REQUIREMENST and FEES of application.
TAKE NOTE: All documents NOT in English must be accompanied by an English translation. So kung hindi english ang Marriage Certificate mo, kailangan mo muna itong ipa-translate sa legal translator at ipa-notaryo at ipa-authenticate sa Ministry of Foreign Affairs kung saang bansa kayo kinasal. If everything is set at completo na lahat pwede na kayo magpasa ng documents nyo.
Check my post (below) for further information how we translate our Swedish MC
After we gathered all the important documents needed, we sent our marriage certificate (English version and Swedish version along with other required documents) in Embassy of Philippine in Oslo Norway. This is how the Report of Marriage looks like (picture below). Pwede nyo po i-download yung form sa site ng Philippine Embassy at kayo na ang magfill-up sa bahay nyo. Pindala namin lahat ng requirements sa Philippine Embassy sa Oslo via regular mail / payment included in the envelope (Norwegian Money) po.
The Embassy will forward one copy of the Report of Marriage to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in the Philippines. Another copy will be kept as part of the Embassy’s records and a third copy will be given to the applicant.
They will return back one copy of your ROM na may signature and seal na natatak na siya (that is your own personal copy)

Well, my husband lives in Sweden (Västra Götaland, Sweden) a country where my heart is. We didn't meet through a chance meeting while Me or Him was traveling for work or doing stuff, we just met online (yeah online dating site!) and found out that have mutual interest, learned about each other, fell in love and the rest is history lol. After almost a 2 and a half years of planning and LDR, he finally invited me to visit him. I went to Sweden year 2013 (btw that is my second time I visited this beautiful Country the first one is year 2009-2010). We got married the next year 2014 and we plan everything like: Me studying, learning and moving to Sweden instead of him moving to Philippines which I know is the best for us. I am now a Swedish citizen (Hallelujah!) and I just want to share to you guys our experiences on how, where and what we did to be able to go this far. My journey is one of many.

Lumpiang shanghai :) one of my favorite easy to make pinoy fika-fika food. Lumpiang shanghai is common dish during celebrations (birthday,new year, Christmas or simple meryenda! ) It is best if combined with sweet and sour sauce or a ketchup. It also best paired in rice, pancit or spaghetti :)
I just want to share to you guys how to make a simple pork shanghai. All of the ingredients can easily be found in any supermarket. Its easy to make.
Visiting Dampalitan Beach in Quezon Province was a great experience, along with my office friends and newly found friends from SFC hehe :). I thought, camping can only be done on the mountains, but it's not! We had a great camping experience in Damapalitan beach.
Boat rates!
Our first destination was in Dampalitan Island where we had our overnight stay. The Island was just 10 to 20 minutes boat ride away from the main port and from afar the beach looks really inviting with its white sand and crystal-clear water plus the tropical view of the island with lot of coconut palms and evergreen trees.
KATIBAWASAN FALLS - (Camiguin Island, Philippines)
Katibawasn falls is located at the foot of Mt. Timpoong, 5Km(3.1 mi) southeast of Mambajao, it measures 250 ft high. down into a man-made pool surrounded by orchids and wild greenly ferns. Water is superb relaxing and really cold but not good for diving :). From downtown Mambajao, you can hire a habal-habal or multicab that will takes 5-10 minutes travel.
You only have to pay 20 php entrance fee (per person) to be able to see and experience the Katibawasan falls.
beautiful isn't it? :)
The waterfall is the best back draft for your photo shoot :P hahaha!
Kawasan Falls is located inside the mountain of Barangay Matutinao, Badian Cebu. From City proper it will takes about three hours bus aching ride to get there but if you have your own car or rented van I guess your time travel will takes only an hour or two. I so love this place, the water is so clear and cold.
This peaceful place is really worth a visit where you can enjoy many waterfalls!! yeah right! Kawasan has many waterfalls. From the entrance you will have to walk uphill to get to the first waterfall (picture above) is the largest one and on peak season it usually crowded. You need to climb uphill to see the second falls and the other remaining falls. Take note for the environmental fee cost 10 php per person. Don't take guide at the entrance they might charge you a hundred bucks!! believe me!! (everything has a fee!!..:P)
I just want to share how I made my wedding arch I used in my wedding day :) Yeah! right! its kinda late again! but anyhow I know I can give ideas for everyone right?. Using a wedding arch is very useful and it helps your wedding reception as beautiful as ever. I know wedding arch can be made from different kind of things whatever you want or what theme you have. You may choose bamboo, wood, flowers, vines and metal etc!. I choose metal as a frame for my wedding arch and i just added plastic vines and plastics flowers on it.
this is how it looks like!
The arch must be eye catching with good theme related on it. Do not overdo with your decorations in this case as it will not look good. Make it short and simple as possible. If you have more time before your wedding, you can even DIY the wedding arch yourself :). Just like what my arch I put purple Christmas light (picture above) because using lights can also enhance the decor a bit further :)
Just want to share this to you guys! I found it over the net while browsing .. :) worth reading stay inlove
10 Golden Rules for staying happy
with the One You Love
1.
First and foremost, love each other. Realize how lucky you are to be
in love with someone who loves you. Say, “I love you” often and in
different ways. Surprise each other with gifts of praise to show your
love. Remember that love grows in an atmosphere of freedom and trust,
not from restraint and obligation. Do things to keep your love and
romance new and alive. Don’t take love for granted, ever. It’s such a
blessing.
2. Listen objectively to each other, as you would to a
friend. Acceptance is a key to understanding and a buffer for tension
and resentment. Don’t take things personally; give each other the right
to have different opinions, the right to disagree. You don’t want
anyone to control your feelings, so don’t try to own someone else’s, not
even the feelings of the one you love.
3. Never stop treating each other like sweethearts.
Talk to each other as sweethearts. Do things that sweethearts do. Work
together in achieving your goals. Do things just to make the other one
feel loved, especially when he or she might be feeling a little down.
Take pride in the way you look and act, for yourself and for your
partner, but never let external values have more importance than the
internal feelings of your heart.
4. Take care of each other. Go to the doctor with each
other. Put the other one first, but don’t neglect your own needs
either. Do the things that show that you’re interested in your partner’s
needs and desires and problems.
5. Look to each other for help. Don’t let your problems
or concerns get out of hand and make you go in opposite directions. Be
joyful that you’ve each made a commitment to the other…through sickness
or health, poverty or wealth, or whatever comes along. You’re in this
life together. Be thankful.
6. Talk about things together the way you would talk
with a friend. Absolutely refuse to say anything negative about your
partner. Share your most important secrets, and never betray the
secrets of your partner; treat them as almost sacred. Keep your own
identity, but walk together as one. Don’t ever give up on your love.
7. Settle the fact that you’ve made your choice and
you’re no longer looking for anyone else. Don’t flirt. Think of the
consequences. Don’t even consider it.
8. Be in agreement about how your money is spent. Big
items should have the approval of both. Talk about how to manage your
finances.
9. When in doubt about your actions, ask yourself how
you would want to be treated and then act accordingly. If you’ve
argued, never go to sleep without asking the other’s forgiveness, even
when you don’t feel like it or want to. Be faithful about this; you
won’t be sorry. Do what will make you both the happiest in the long run
and be the best for your relationship.
10. Have fun!

A happily ever after for me :). I so love castle they are so stunning and rich in history. Look at this ruins of Bohus fortress, still standing tall after almost 700 years of it's era. The walls looks strong and brave made out of grey stone and bricks. It was under renovation when we went there :( little bit sad but at least Matt and I we're able to check and roam around the place *wink!
Whenever we went to Gothernburg, we always saw this fortress from the highway. We've never been there although we've always passed on it so many times ( hmm how many times I did went to Ullared?? *counting!!) hahahahaha :)
when we get there, the Castle is under renovation so what we did is just roam and check the outside views :)
I could't wait to do a blog post about my wedding day and share everything with you guys 😊
"Kärleken är tålmodig and God. Allt bär den, allt tror den, allt hoppas den, allt uthäadar den"
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
New International Version (NIV)
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres.
My wedding is a traditional church wedding and I'm glad that Matt and I is Catholic, so it's easier for us to choose the church wedding. Marrying in other country is quite confusing for me because of lot of rules, regulations and guidelines to be considered off.
Our wedding took place at Västra Tunhems Church.
The church is located in Vänersborgs municipality in Västra Götaland country. This church is really beautiful with medieveal touches. I fell in love on the ceiling with paintings, the altar and the pulpit. It remind me the old Betis Church/Parish Church of St. James the Apostle in Guagua, Pampanga.
Let me just share you guys, before you can get married in Sweden, specially if you're not a Swedish citizen you must first apply for a marriage licences and they called it Hindersprövning. Just set an appointment or simply visit "skatteverket" (swedish tax authority) to file for a marriage licence. Don't hesitate to ask everything because they're willing to help you. It will takes a week before you get a result just make sure that all your requirements is original and updated. We did that and it took I guess ...hmmm 3 weeks before we received the good news and it was "approved".
Anyway, after that we arranged to meet the priest of the church and discuss to HER our wedding plans. Yup! Her...In my surprise, our priest is actually a woman and it really amazed me :) We ended up sitting with her having coffee for well over an hour, and we talked to her about everything from how we met to what marriage means to us. It turned out wonderful. She was warm, friendly and very accommodating. We like her instantly and how we felt comfortable saying her our love story and plans together. We decided to have mixed English/Swedish ceremony because most of his relatives and visitors are pure Swedish.
Inside the Church. The Priest gave us her advice, said her prayers, sang psalms asking God for her blessing.
You may now kiss the bride!!!
In Swedish wedding, there are a few things that are a bit different. First, I noticed that before the wedding, everyone assembles outside the church and walks arm in arm to get into the church. As I arrived in the Church, they let me stay in a small room to have my last minute retouch. :P . Second, Matt and I walk down the aisle together. I don't wear garter belt (yung nilalagay sa legs ng bride). I didn't insist to have/wear it because people would might just be little freaked out if they saw Matt rooting around under my dress searching for that garter belt and throw it... hahahaha
When the wedding is over, everyone filled out in the same way we went in, arm and arm again 😊 lol!, they waited us outside the church. They individually congratulated us and took some photos before going to the reception.
The reception was held in Särestad Bygdegård they called it community center, we rented the whole place and with the help of my creative mind Lol! hehe I was able to make it much more like a wedding reception. Yup! I decorated it myself, I do research online hehehe. Click here to see how I made my DIY giveaways 👉 DIY WEDDING GIVEAWAYS
I did my table arrangements and decorations. I know it's simple but for me its perfect 😊
"I did a few DIY projects that I found over the net (see picture above). Matt and I did all the planning ourselves, with the help of his family. His mom was the one who made my wedding dress. I made about 100 tissue flower and pompoms in different sizes, they build the table arch and I decorated it with some plastic flowers, violet Christmas light and vines. I wrote all the addresses on our invitations and sewed a linen flower for wedding dress"😊
My cake is missing Lol!! still on the fridge!!!! 😊 oh my princes cake Lol
I like princess cake and I requested it as my wedding cake 😊 It's home made and so perfect!!
It was very structured and very formal dinner, SKÅL!!! 😊
My wedding favor 😊
I also altered a few wedding tradition I knew like opening our gifts in front of our visitors and we cut our cake together. I skipped throwing my bouquet.
Because my family and friends from the Philippines couldn't make it, we're planning on having another 2nd wedding when we come home. It'll be fun to see what come up with for my Pinoy style wedding ehehehe. I know the difference were so many, but in the end, the wedding are still the same. It's about bringing out the families together, with his relatives and with his friends. The fact that they spend their time to share the special moment with us. Thank you to every single person who was involved in making our special day more incredible than I ever could have dreamed of... SkåL!!!! 😊 hehehehe
