A mother of two kids and a wife.

Adopting to a new way of life in North America in my late 20's had been a lifetime experienced and daily struggle. Everything was new. Even myself I found it new. I learned to live a somewhat fast pace kind of lifestyle. I was given a priveledge to learn how to drive a vehicle that I also learned how to pumped gasoline into it. As a child growing up in third world country, I dreamed to be holding on to stirring wheel everytime I see a car go by.

I also learned how to clean house using a vacumm cleaner,please don't laugh at this but when I was growing up, there was no such thing as electricity. So, I was given so much stuff here than I used to have and I surely, appreciated everything that comes my way.

Parenting is not an easy task, let alone finding yourself in the blended family. Imagine the kids saying to each other " that is mine and you can't play with it" was just one of the MANY things to settled with compromise.
Every family have their own challenges. My kids are the mirror of me and who I am and therefore to challenge myself to the max had been miserable! I am just saying it out loud.

I learned how to accept the reality of: you can't live your dreams off of your children! They will be who they want to be and not who you want them to be. very simple yet hard to accept!

I learned how to wash clothes not with my hands anymore but the helped of washing machine and drying machine too. I don't need to hang them outside on the wire and wait for days to dry..and smelt them with car fumes.

I appreciated what my life has been here in North America. I yet have to apply for my citizenship and able to vote.

I love to garden almost anything that can grow on dirt. I love the great outdoors and not afraid to try bazzar foods. Love to talk to friends over coffee or even issues over coffee with friends. I would love to be able to go home every year but I know I can only dream it and don't cost a penny.
