Momsiecle.com became my official blog site in March of 2012. I started my first blog on a free blogging platform in 2006 as a just for fun blog where I write just about anything: my daily experiences, the movie that I watched or the food that I just tried.  When my family and I moved to Winnipeg in 2009, I started to write about my challenges and discoveries about living in Canada as an immigrant.  Back then, there were very few blogs that talk about immigrant’s life in Canada, that’s when I decided make momsiecle.com a place to come for aspiring Canadian immigrants and for immigrants (like me) who are embracing life in the “new world” that they are in. This little space for Momsie has grown right along with me. From my journey as an Asian Mom transitioning to life in Canada, my colorful Filipino culture and traditions to the struggles and worthy experiences that I went through as I settle in my new home here in Canada.

Through the years, this blog has opened different doors for me. I made new friends from different parts of the globe. I met people from different communities within and outside Winnipeg and as well as other bloggers,  writers and book authors from different parts of Canada. It is also through this blog that that I suddenly became “Ms. Welcome Pack,” I met more than 8,000 new comers in Winnipeg and nearby cities when I had the chance to distribute simple welcome gift to them. I also got featured in an article in a local newspaper here in Winnipeg and was invited to as a resource speaker in a writing symposium for high school students, I never imagined I would actually have the opportunity to do all these things.
