HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!!
I am now officially an Australian citizen. I chose to take the oath in a public ceremony held at the Ada Ryan Garden on Australia Day 26th January 2019. Ever since I set foot on this land, I have always known that this is going to be my permanent home. I still embrace my Filipino heritage but I am proud to call myself an Australian citizen now.
The ceremony started at 5:15 PM. My two aunties, Uncle, cousin and my husband were there to witness the ceremony. After the ceremony, we went to the restaurant to celebrate further my newly acquired citizenship.
It was a joyous occasion for all of us. I am grateful to my aunties and my uncle because I wouldn't be here in Australia and I would not have met my husband if it weren't for them.
Of course I thank God for my husband who has always been there for me throughout the whole process. He is very supportive and patient and I would not have reached this stage had it not been for his never-ending support.
P.S. I didn't do much activity today. The steps counted were from walking when I went shopping this morning. I bought a nice pair of shoes to match with my dress.
