Belgium: Europe’s Place to .Be
I recently got back from a client support assignment in Belgium for 3 months. The first time I learned I was going to Belgium, I really had no idea what was instore for me for 3 months in that country. The only thing that popped out of my mind when Belgium is mentioned is the picture of Miss Belgium, who became a crowd favorite when the Miss Universe was held in the Philippines in 1994. ( I was in high school then and yes I admit, I had one of those wallet size picture of Miss Belgium being sold on the sidewalks before….hehehehe). I said to myself, if that’s Miss Belgium, well then Belgium here I come!
But there’s more to Belgium that’s just as interesting as Miss Belgium herself.
american embassy, why are you so cruel to my friend?
My friend J is heartbroken because her father died. All of J’s family are now based in the USA and Canada. She is all alone here in the Philippines. She won’t be able to see her dad for the last time because she wasn’t given a tourist visa by the American embassy. This is the third time she applied for one. She wasn’t planning to apply anymore but, when her dad was fighting for his life, she wanted to be with her dad and the rest of the family.
Year 2001, about 9 years ago, her dad had a heart transplant. The first time she applied for a tourist visa, and also the first time the US embassy denied her one. The consul’s reason was J didn’t provide enough reason for them to believe that she will come back to the Philippines before her tourist visa expires. Good thing the heart transplant was successful.

Mei Sanchez was the sole finalist of PHR’s 3rd Romance Writing Contest. Her winning piece “Sa Pagitan ng Dalawang Rosas” was published on July 29, 2009. Her other books are “Huling Mahal” and “The Boy Next Door”. I had a chance to interview this talented and very down-to-earth woman.
1.) How did you discover your passion in writing?
I discovered my passion in writing when I joined PHR’s 3rd Romance Writing Contest. It was only that time I found out that writing gives me joy and profound fulfillment. That’s also why I’m thankful for the contest because I was able to discover a part of me I thought never existed.
