I would like to dedicate this first book I have ever written to my late and beloved mother, Joan, who died of breast cancer in 2004. Back then at the age of 18, I learned to take my journey in life with resiliency and courage thanks to my mother, who placed her trust and confidence in me. I hope she sees how far I’ve reached in this life and what I became because of her inspiration and motivation. I also want to dedicate this book to my family in the Philippines. I devoted most of my life to taking care of my younger siblings and family, and they are always there to morally support me in every exciting journey I take in life and my career. To my family in Sweden: Thank you to my husband Gösta and to my four-legged best friend Lorentz, who, behind the scenes, provided patience and moral support, and reminded me to take breaks from this book project. Finally, to all my followers and friends who show support in every adventure and journey I take in life, my career, and even my community engagements. Thank you so much, Tack så mycket (Swedish), Maraming Salamat (Tagalog)
