ANDI Eigenmann has taken the internet by storm over the past couple of days because of her simple way of living on the island of Siargao.
Andi, who has been residing in Siargao for almost two years now, shared that she had to make adjustments during her first few months on the island.
“I’ve been living here for almost two years now and at the beginning even if ayun nga pangarap ko, pinagarap ko, hindi na siya naging madali. I still had to adjust some ways especially I didn’t have a family here, I don’t have my mom or any of my siblings and best friends. Minsan-minsan lang naman silang nakakapunta dito so in that sense naging mahirap siya,” she said.
Then again, she feels thankful to have someone like her partner Philmar Alipayo who helped her cope with the culture shock and adapt to the island’s way of living.
“But I’m so thankful that I have Philmar. I didn’t move here by myself… So ‘yung culture shock kahit papaano nu’ng simula, si Philmar natulungan niya ako na makapag-adapt. And besides, I really enjoy their way of life here. So ayun I feel like bagay naman ako,” she stated.(Push)
