I admit it. I became a little bit paranoia in the past weeks. Why? Here are the reasons.
December was the best month of our 2019. We've been to my husband's place, enjoyed time with the family, saw our friends again and all are happy memories. After our stay in The Netherlands, we then spent a few days in Taiwan, which is another awesome experience for us. It was all perfect. Then, we came home in The Philippines safely. We saw our family again and our friends. There are news ones, there were old.
Current Obsession: Vintage Cards and Snailmails
This is not suppose to be an appreciation post but I would like to extend my thanks to my friend Geraldine, for sharing me things I would be obsessed of. (This is all your fault my dear. Hahaha) She has been telling me about journaling (and now I am eager to start doing it, I hope), most specifically junk journal, also snail mails, and whole lot more. My artsy heart has been sleeping for the past year and now it has been revived to life. Thanks too to my husband, GJ, for always supporting me in every thing I do, even the simplest, teeny-tiniest thing there is.
Today, I've finished making three individual cards for our international friends. I don't know if they're into these cute things but yeah, I'm taking the risk. They are all girls so I do not see any reason why they'll not gonna love it. I even want to receive one as well. (I might make a letter and send it to me in NL.) Haha.
How to Get PSA Certificates 2020 (Birth, Marriage, Death, Certificate of No Marriage)
Disclaimer: All procedures and requirements that I will share in this post are my own experience when I obtained my PSA Certificate. I am not, in any way, affiliated with PSA or any Census Serbilis Center.
PSA (formerly known as NSO) certificate is a requirement when enrolling for school, applying for passport or even getting a visa. The process is not as complicated as others think. It is just plain simple. Like what I've mentioned in my previous post about PSA Certificate, there are three ways on how you can attain it. First is through walk-in or personal appearance at their office. There are several locations throughout the Philippines so you can choose one. Second is through an online application. And the last one is through an accredited PSA store like SM Business Center.
Me personally, I always opt to go to their office which opens at 7:30 in the morning. (Just a heads up, there are always a long line so make sure you have snacks and drinks with you.)

We Are One in Taiwan!
So here's the thing. We only stayed 4 days in Taiwan and obviously, it wasn't enough. On the first day, we roamed around the city by foot, attended a meeting, ate noodles and dumplings and the last time I remember, I was laying in the hotel bed, feeling tired and sick (expecting the long flight from The Netherlands to Asia, that was like 15 hours). But that did not stop us. We were just starting our trip.
The second day, we were able to have authentic Taiwanese breakfast (which I have been waiting for since we booked our ticket going there). We walked for ten minutes to the food court, arrived there expecting a long queue of of hungry souls, but fortunately, the line moved so fast that we did not even realized that we were inside looking at the fresh sesame buns they're baking on the spot. It was something that I will always cherish, our awesome second day.
After that, we had a little tour outside the capital city and was able to see what's laying in the outskirt of Taiwan. It was still amazing. The people, the food, the scene, the neighborhood. Also, there's this technology mall that G cannot miss in this trip. It is called Syntrend. They have 9 floors of so many stuffs that you will want to take he building in your pocket and take it home with you (if you will not be caught in the immigration). We had the chance to go to one of their night markets too. Ugghh, that was the best! For dinner, we ate at a toilet restaurant and that was so fun, food's good too!
Finally, we needed to leave and go back to our normal lives in The Philippines.
Don't think that we did not bring anything for you guys. We actually filmed a lot for you to see what's in the island of Taiwan.
You can watch the videos at our YouTube channel "The Dutch Pinay Couple" or just click play below.
Enjoy watching! And please don't forget to share love always!

Few Days Left, Asia Soon!
Here I am, sitting in front of the computer, blank.
Actually, not. There are just too much and too many things running in my head and I do not know where to focus.
First, we only have very few days left in The Netherlands. I am happy we were able to scout around the capital city even for a day. It was surely worth it. Things are more expensive though (ohh hilariously expensive). After three months of stay (work work work), we are finally going home to see our family and friends in The Philippines. It's always exciting to see them again after few months.
But passing to Taiwan is another thing we are looking forward to. It has been one of our dream destinations in Asia. And now, it's happening! For the longest time, we can finally have our honeymoon (sort of).
I am happy that I can bring my new printer which was mentioned in my previous post here. But I am sad that I need to leave my die-cutting machine. It is too heavy that it might cause an additional fee on our luggage. I really love that machine, it is so handy, easy, and lovely. Soon, I will share with you the cards I made using that thing.
In few days, I am going to start working again, maybe. As of now, we actually don't know. See how blank we are these days. We are so full of beautiful emotions that we cannot even manage to think.
