It was a memorable and fun summer vacation because all of my cousins were around and we went trekking to Mararison Island, Culasi, Antique and took pictures for our pre-nuptial shoot.

SELFIE Q’S

J: Jozi & belle both are my nicknames and just inserted ‘licious’ from the word delicious (maski dili gud delicious) LOL.
I: Who has been the biggest influence in your life?
J: The biggest influence in my life is my mom. She made me/us (my siblings) believe that in life you always have to be good no matter how bad the person is and the best way to the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. She all taught us how to cook for our future husbands.

I: Name a turning point in your life that makes you smile or cry.

LOVE Q’S

J: No because I've accepted real love and this caused me to get married with the love of my life.

I: What are the top three qualities that you look for when it comes to men?
J: Responsible, knows how to cook *thumbs up*, honest and adventurous.

I: Do you think fairy tales influence our choice of a partner?
J: Yes, because way back in my younger years, I've always been an avid fan of fairy tales and I've seen different prince charmings - a prince who’s handsome, brave, polite and would be a perfect husband for his princess. I've always thought that prince charming only exists in fairytales, but I was proven wrong when I found him. When I look at him he will always be my handsome prince charming, a knight in shining armor and the one who’ll rescue me (from the evil witch).
I: Do you give out second chances too easily?

Last question, in a nutshell, who is joziliciousbelle as a person outside the forum?
J: Jozi behind istorya, I'm a very obedient daughter, sister, and wife. As a close friend, a best friend I'll be the first person to defend you. When you see me in person you might think I'm the 1st runner up in the "bitch resting face" competition (LOL! yes I admit I'm maldita at times), the silent one! But behind that, I was awarded as the most noisy-talkative one (by my mom), I do have a boisterous laughter (since birth), I'm a joker at times, I sing, dance, cook, take pictures, I love sunsets-sunrise, beach, long trips and food trips.
