I’m excited…nervous…. and restless…
I haven’t updated my blog for days now because I have been busy preparing for the BIG Day. Next Saturday, Lakwatsera de Primera is officially getting hitched with the love of her life and all-time favorite travel buddy.
I’m looking forward to settling Down Under, starting new adventures, launching new websites and hopefully welcoming a little travel buddy to join us. The wedding preparation is blissful and stress-free so far. It’s simple and intimate just the way we wanted it to be.
And just when I thought it was time to move on to another niche blog to mark the new chapter in my life, some pleasant news has inspired me to continue sharing my stories and experiences on this blog. It was indeed a wonderful early Christmas present and a well-appreciated pat on the back.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the prestigious Philippine Expat Blog Award PEBA for recognizing Lakwatsera de Primera as PEBA 2011’s Special Awardee under Travel Category.
I would like to share this award to my family and friends, my fellow nominees, my Pinoy Travel Blogger friends, my loyal readers who have followed my blog through the years and to everyone who have made this event possible.
For now, I’m off to find a bunch of balloons 
Congrats and best wishes Claire. You’ll be off to a different kind of adventure soon! *hugs*
Double CONGRATULATIONS Claire! Whoa, I am wishing you all the best for this and the marital bliss you will soon feel.
God bless!
