Ten Eight

Today, my youngest sister married the man of her dreams. Who would have thought she would meet this individual far far away from where she was born? I find it funny when I hear people say that Filipinas marry foreigners for money. It's equally hilarious when people think that the only solution to have a better life is to get out of the Philippines and marry someone abroad. I'm just glad that in my sister's case, it just wasn't one of those things. It wasn't one of those things where a Filipina finds a non-Filipino and marries him so she can uplift her status/lifestyle. She was doing really well there even before she met him. Her status was legal and she was earning fairly decently. There are just bonuses in life destined for kindhearted people to earn. It's one thing to be happy. It's another thing to stay that way. I'm just glad it was love that brought them together. Even more for the fact that she is happiest with him. I can never ask for anything more for her. Sincerely. She is so loved by many even with all the funky swinging, roller coaster, unpredictably unending turns of emotions she oh so frequently exudes.

She will always be the princess of our lives, the crazy mood-shifting character that only she in the family has ridiculously mastered. 

To you Jamaica, 

I love you eternally and I wish for God to bless you and Nick the best of everything He can offer from this day on. Cheers to a great new beginning!
