Free-Spirited Couple

Our relationship started as online friends in 2003. He was working in Qatar back then while I was on my 3^rd year as a government employee. We met personally during his vacation the year after and the formal courtship started. “Getting to know” stage wasn’t difficult for us because we already knew even during our first date that we like each other. I think it’s magical, and the rest is history as they say.

We are married for 4 years and blessed with a beautiful and witty daughter named Yasmin Althea. As a couple, consider ourselves as free-spirited because we still enjoy our independence while having fun and quality time for the family as much as we could. He managed to survive independent yet challenging life as an OFW. I enjoy my hobbies such as blogging and hanging out with friends while enjoying mother and wife duties.

The photo below was taken last January 31, 2010 at around 5pm, few hours after his arrival from Oman. He’s been away for more than a year and that day was one of my happiest moments in my entire married life.

CONTEST SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS
Special Thanks To The Following :

I would like to thank all my blogger friends and supporters for providing whatever they could to make this contest bigger and better:

___________________________

This is my contest entry:

1. How did you learn about Earthlingorgeous.com?
I first came across Earthlingorgeous.com through my regular bloghopping and link exhanges a couple of years ago. Since then, I became one of Earth’s avid reader. We met in person last November 14, 2009 during the public launch and official weigh-in of the Nestle Fitnesse 14 Days to Show of your Shape Challenge where Earth and I together with other two bloggers (Kessa and Belle) were members of team Earthlingorgeous, obviously spearheaded by this blog’s author.

2. What is your favorite post here and why? (entry should be January 2009-December 2009) Link to said post.

All entries in her blog is interesting and informative but my favorite post is Looking for a Fitnesse Partner/Team. This is Earth’s initial call to form a team for the contest Nestle Fitnesse 14 Days to Show of your Shape Challenge which I’ve mentioned above. If not for this post, I will not be able to win two-pieces of designer wardrobes (Rhett Eala peacock-eye gown and Jun Escario top) as a reward for successfully losing weight during the 14-day diet program. This post served as the starting point of the long journey towards our victory. Yes, our team won the challenge… a truly once in a lifetime experience. Moreover, the contest extended our online connection into a growing friendship.

3. Include a screen capture/print screen of the page you are reading at Earthlingorgeous.com or a photo you are browsing at Earthlingorgeous.com on your computer screen (make sure my logo appears anywhere in the photo).

4. What topics would you like to read at Earthlingorgeous more often?
I admire Earth’s courage and commitment in raising her one and only precious daughter. I also read product and movie reviews written here at Earthlingorgeous.com.

This is my entry to Earthlingorgeous.com 2nd Blogversary Treat.

So, what are you waiting for? Join this exciting Earthlingorgeous.com 2nd Blogversary Treat. The contest runs until March 14, 2010 only.
