It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to turn a passion into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.

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, little did I know, it started to share 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, I got featured in community websites or newsletters and was even invited to as resource speaker in a writing symposium for high school students, I never imagined I would actually have the opportunity to do all these things.

It was not a priority to make anything out of this blog, writing has always been my passion.  It is my way of expressing my thoughts and feelings which I cannot do verbally. I always believe that this is the best platform for me. This blog played a big role to where I am now. It provided me a space where I can share the failures and triumphs that I went through in transitioning to a new life outside my comfort zone, it enable me to reach out to people outside my circle which I don’t think I could if not for this blog.
