Legally Blonde

Yep! I am finally legal in the land of blondes. :)


After weeks of waiting, calling, begging and some crying, I finally got that one piece of sticker saying that I am an official, tax-paying resident of Finland. :)


Now, since I got my visa and I can go in and out of the country without hassles, I have booked my flight to Manila and will be leaving on th 19th for a 12-day vacation. I will finally be eating (real) Filipino food for the first time in more than 2,5 years.


Of course, important matters await me there as well since I will also need to attend to the business, my sister and I are trying to set up. So I guess the vacation will make me more tired than relaxed but it will pump me up positively since I will finally begin my new business. :) Yeeha! Anyway, I have come to realize that what I want to do in this world is to add extra value to a child´s childhood and if possible, to add faith! :) So the new business is connected with those. :)


Anyway, the whole visa process goes to show one thing: when you decide on something and you know that the decision will make you a better person and will enable you to live out your (chosen) purpose -- nothing will stop you. All you have to do is look up and have faith. :)

    Congrats Ekay. My, what a difference a piece of paper or in this case...a sticker makes!

    Nakakainspire ang blog mo in more ways than one..really.

    Here's hoping for my own version of your Finnish-sticker-moment in the future :)

    Toivon tapaavani sinut uudestaan

    (My Korean professor mentioned that some Finns believe that their language is somewhat related to Korean? Or the two cultures have some affinity of some sort? He even told me a story about this. Is this true?!?)
