Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿

 Kia ora, my Besties! 👑

Or should I say, my Dearest?

Your favorite blogger is back—at the same city, at the same ZIP code, and now with my new editor-in-chief, ChatGPT. 😅

It’s been 10 long years, but this blogger needed a little hiatus.

I started this blog 16 years ago to showcase my life, my love for writing, and the lessons I learned along the way.

However, the past 10 years have been a difficult season in my life. I went to New Zealand, built my nursing career and registrations, and had to step up as the breadwinner of the family. Somewhere along the way, I lost touch with my blogger voice.

But as a new season began, I found that writing voice again.

And in case you’re wondering how those 10 years went by for me… here it goes.

First of all, I am now married to a wonderful man—my Chinito. ❤️We had our dreamy wedding in Queenstown last year and I’ll be sharing the stories of how we found our way to our own ever after.

Our Queenstown Wedding 

And yes, there’s more.

I am now working as a nurse in one of the hospitals in Auckland, and somehow, along the way, I managed to get four international nursing registrations under my name.

I am now a PhRN 🇵🇭, NZRN 🇳🇿 , USRN 🇺🇸 and AusRN 🇦🇺.

I’ll be sharing more stories about how I got to where I am today, along with all the nursing adventures that came along the way.

The probinsyana blogger you met 16 years ago has definitely come a long way.

I may have gotten older, but I’m still the same old probinsyana girl you met all those years ago. I’m just a little wiser, a little more experienced, and I now have a different surname.

However, behind my ever after and my multiple nursing registrations are stories I have not yet shared with you.

So, join me as I share stories about my life, my marriage, my nurse life, and everything else in between.

I promise to be with you, one chapter at a time.

Aroha,

Maica 💜💅👑✨💍 🇳🇿
