Last Month, April 12, was my 2nd yr. as German Citizen.
It takes me for 17 yrs. before I decided to change my Citizenship.
Before, I think and I don’t like to change my Filipino citizen. Reason that maybe, i stay at the Phil’s, when I am already old or if what will happen to me here, I can still go home at my Country.
When the Kids, grow older, I realized that I stay here forever and ever, until the end of my life, and this is my Decision now.
I have my family here, I have 2 kids, and someday my Kids have their own family, then I must be here, near to them.
Anytime they needs me, I am near to them...........I can see my grandchildren anytime and I can watch and care my grandchildren too. If I have........
I realized that it is not good that the parents are far away from their children and grandchildren.............
I won’t never talks so many.........what I feel and experience presently, I won’t like that my kids experience too.......That is why I decided already to live here, ever and after.
Germany is my 2nd motherland now................that is not mean, that I doesn’t Love my Motherland Philippines....I am still Pinay, in my heart, my deeds, my thoughts.....me myself.
I share some pics. During our trip to
This is compulsory to go there, personally to cancel our Phil’s. Citizenship and signed it personally with Appearance of the Head in our Phil’s. Embassy here.
This pics., the first time we went there, and the Embassy was Closed because it’s Ramadan......we’re a little discourage of the management there. Before we went there, I asked if we can have an appointment, and the Woman who answered us, says, that they couldn’t give any Appointment......"First come, First Serve".....
But has not says to us that "on so and so" is Holiday and they are closed.....Imagine,
It takes me only around 3 months to wait, that all my papers are all Ok and in order. Then on April 12, 2005 was the Ceremonial or Rite...Taking Oath....
This picture slide was taken at
Pics. again......presently, I am very active and happy to share to you our pics, and happenings here.
I am happy to share, show and tell you what our happenings here . Nice to share, hoping that you enjoy viewing it and don’t misunderstood.....lol
Have a nice Day to all------------------------

I think, you made the right decision. It is really hard to leave your children and maybe grandchildren in the future. Mahirap, kahit yung ibang Filipino na umuwi at nagpagawa ng bahay sa atin para daw pag-retire ay uuwi, ay hindi nangyari. Yung bahay nabulok na lang duon sa probinsiya.
Happy anniversary on your 2nd year of citizenship.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Can I link you?
"i admire you for having made that decision, Vicki--it is the decision
of a mother, placing your interest as last. you place your children
first, you want to be near them when they have families of their own.
even if you wanted to go back to the Philippines and settle here, you
still chose to be near family. and the German citizenship can assure
you that. yo are lucky because you have good options. you are lucky
because you have found a place for your family--a place that will give
you bountiful returns--where you see where your taxes go, where you
see peace and order, where you see a comfortable life.
and i am sure that even if you are away from your motherland, you are
still able to instill in your children some of the good traits of
filipinos. you may already be a german citizen, but i am glad you
still have the filipino heart in you."
sana mailagay itong comment kong ito sa post mo, kung hindi, pag
naayos na browser ko, babalikan ko ang post mo.
have a nice day,
much love

Hi Ate Vick,good day.I understood your point ate why you decided to become a German Ctizen because your family is there. But it's completely okey ate because I know that wherever we are, we are a true filipino by heart.
Have a nice day ate.

Ganyan din naging decision ng tita nmin sa US. Una gusto nya mag retire sa pinas kaya nagpagawa pa ng bahay dun. Then noong lumaki na mga kids nya sa states ayaw na mag-siuwi ng pinas at dun na nagkapamilya, kaya sya dun na rin stay dahil hindi maiwan yung mga grandchildren nya.
Hi Vicki. I admire how you put your family first above everything else. It's a wonderful trait of a great mom.
Advance Happy Mother's Day!
I think you have made the right decision too. I am also getting my citizenship here soon hopefully since all of my loved ones are here and that's enough reason.
hi lutchi,
Lutchi.....hintayin mo lang ang time, my time na makapag-isp ka kung ano talaga,,,,mabuti yon sarili natin decision, hindi na Force tayo or sa kasabihan na::OK NA LANG WLA NA AKONG MAGAGAWA....Nice ang feeling natin at hindi tayo naconcensia, kung 100% decision galing natin, whatsoever man nga Decision.......Money?.....makita lang yon, hindi na mahal na mahal na hindi kaya natin....mahal pa gani ang PAMASAHI patungo PINAS....lol
SLOWLY BUT SURELY..........
Hi Mari,
thanks sa comments mo,
Tama, naisip ko rin yon, na bumili ng bahay, gawin ko lahat dito, do more sideline jobs or anything para maka pera ako, tapos ipagawa ko ng bahay sa Pinas, .....
Later on naisip ko, paano ang bahay kung wla ako or kami doon, hindi namin na gamit or nagamit man paminsan-minsan lang, kasi hindi naman kami every year uuwi, ayaw naman ng familya ko every year, kasi gusto din namin maka kita ng ibang places.
Tama, yon, bahay namin, hindi naman masayadong maganda or presentable like Condo. or Solid house, kung hindi sabi pa, Bahay Kubo.....yon Anay lang ang naka-Tira-Termites?
nasira lang, kasi walang tumira at hindi naman namin gusto pa-rent kasi gives only Problem.
Tapos yon gasto rin sa TAXES at renovation kung anu-anong Sira.....
Ayaw naman tumira ang familya ko doon, Visita ok pero titira daw sa Pinas, ayaw nila.......
So ano ang magagawa ko, gusto ko man sa atin, pero mas MAHAL KO ANG FAMILYA KO DITO AT SOMEDAY KUNG MY MGA GRANDCHILDREN NA AKO; MAS LALO AKONG MALIGAYA DITO KAY SA ATIN.
Thank you very much for your visit,Mira....Oo, i am happy, link kita rin.....
Hello Dine,
Thank you po sa Comments mo rin...maraming salamat.
Noon, hindi ako nag-isip to change my citizenship...kasi yon ang mga plans ko na bumili ng bahay sa Pinas at doon mag-retire, kasama ang familya ko.
Pero, ang familya ko ayaw talaga sa Pinas tumira, kasi they are German and Germany ang Land daw nila....
kaya i decided, dito na talaga ang Country ko, nandito ang love ones ko....

i was thinking of changing my citizenship na rin,at first i was gainst it kasi ayokong mawala ang pagiging filipino ko.buti na lang,may bagong law na ibinaba,may dual citizenship na ngayon sa Pinoy,so di pa rin daw mawawala ang pagiging pinoy :)
your hubby and kids are all lucky to have you around them :)
hugs!!
