Finaly I've found my way to Hive. The hardest part of starting a blog is to introduce yourself :) So, here I go ...
Wayward, creative, crazy, these are some descriptions that fits me.
Born in Heist-op-den-Berg in 1971. At the age of 13, I was bitten by the computer virus. My live was completely dominated by bits and bytes. This way I met the love of my life. I've met Ivo at the local computer club and soon we were inseparable.
When I got 20 I entered an extremely difficult phase. I was diagnosed with a muscular disease and my whole world collapsed. Luckily I could count on my hubby, family and friends and slowly I learned to enjoy life again.
“Seize the day” are not hollow words to us, it became a way of live. At the time I discovered scuba diving, a new world opened to me. Meanwhile I started taking snapshots en little by little I became a true Hedonist, with a capital H.
Since almost 4 years I spend my time between Belgium and The Philippines. Here I discovered more than what most tourist mostly see. I found a new way of life. Closer to nature, trying to adept to the local lifestyle, discovering new values, being creative as I'm not living in a materialistic world anymore. By now I spend 9 months a year on the lovely island Cebu.
February 2020 I planned to come to Moalboal for another 3 months. But a bit later Covid was everywhere around the world. I made the decision to stay here instead of going back to Belgium. To me, it was more safe here. My husband gave me a 3D printer for my birthday and now I could make my first steps into this new world. After one month I was in contact with a medical student and we started to print protection supplies for the frontliners and medical staff at different places. Now 50 spools of filament later, my neighbour and I are still printing those supplies 24/7.
Although we all go through rough times now, I try to stay positive and make the best out of my life. Since a lot of items are not available at this time, I started to grow herbs and veggies on my balcony. Meanwhile I'm also very creative in the kitchen to have healthy food.
