Every Filipino dreamed of coming to America thinking that life could be better here. I, for one at a very young age had dreamed to come to the U.S. As far as I could remember I have always been attracted to American people because I always see them as beautiful and handsome maybe because the color of their skin, hair and their eyes. I even told myself that someday I would want to marry an American guy and come to America. I really didn't know but for some reason maybe I was already destined to marry one. Although I don't believe in destiny because I know things happen to our lives because of the choices and decisions we make. I remember, there were many occasions that I have been told that I would get married to a foreigner, a white guy. During those times, Internet dating websites were not known yet but I already knew about writing pen pals and I did try but there was no luck and never get serious about it. Then, dating websites began to get popular and I started joining to some of these dating websites hoping to make my American dream come true. There were a couple of American and some European men whom I met online and made commitments with but most of them were just full of promises and never met them in person either until I met the right man prepared by God for me. The man who fulfilled his promises, came to the Philippines to visit me, met my parents and proposed to marry me. I couldn't believe that I would marry a man whom I really dreamed and hoped for to spend life with, who would make my dreams come true. I am thankful to God that I met my husband. To me, the American dream that I wished for is not only coming here in the US but marrying the best man whose love and devotion is so great that I never imagine I would be blessed with.
To my hubby, Thank you very much for coming into my life and for the love and care that you always show to me.
