Hi! I'm Christiane and I'm from the Philippines. Growing up, I always had to work hard for what I wanted. My parents were poor farmers, so we didn't have much money. But even without a lot of material possessions, my family was happy. We were close-knit and we always supported each other.
As a young girl, I always dreamed of coming to America to pursue my education. I knew that if I worked hard enough, I could make it happen. And so I did! I studied really hard in school and managed to get a scholarship at one of the top universities in the country. It was such an exciting time for me.
After graduation, I moved to New York City to start my career. It wasn't easy at first - I had to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet. But eventually, my hard work paid off and I landed a great job in marketing. I was so proud of myself!
But then, everything changed when I met Philip. He was the most charming guy I'd ever met and we fell in love instantly. We got married and moved to Los Angeles together, where he opened up his own business.
Things haven't been easy since moving here - Philip has been working long hours and I've had trouble finding steady work as a marketing professional. But we're making it work, and we're happy just to be together.
In my free time, I like to go out with friends and have a good time. We love going to dive bars, dancing and having fun. Sometimes, we even dress up in our most fabulous outfits and hit the clubs! It's always a blast.
Overall, I'm just so thankful for my life. Despite all of the challenges I've faced along the way, I know that I'm lucky to be where I am today - with an amazing husband, a supportive family and friends, and the opportunity to pursue my dreams.
