PHILIPPINES.....








RibbTrip@Philippines

After hard work in India with the setup of ribbsaetermodels. I decided to take a holiday to the beautiful country of The Philippines. It was a friend of mine who suggested me to come and visit. Since I have never been to Philippines before,I thought it was perfect timing to go. Before leaving I contact a modeling agency in Manila to set me up with accomodation and some works before my arrival.
On my arrival to Manila, a female person from the modeling agency came and picked me up. She escorted me back to the models apartment in Makati area,and made sure I was in good hands. I called and met up with my friend Photographer from Dubai. The coming days starts like any other travel to a new country. Casting And more Casting.
I went to met a few clients, production houses, photographers magazines etc. After some day I had booked my first job. It started out good for me..
A week after I was out with some friends for a coffe. And at that time little did I knew I was going to met the love of my life then. There she was standing ,looking absolutley beautiful. the first thing I saw was her dark long wavy hair. Then I saw her face and got blown away by the beauty she had. I told my friend,that's the kind of woman I want to marry. And this was without even knowing her for a second.
At that moment we didn't exchange words,she was talking to some other people by our table. Before leaving the coffe place,I asked my friend to introduce me to her. I went inside and we had some quik talk. It was kind of funny to approach her,because her ex-boyfriend was also there. Finallu she got me her business card and told me to keep in touch. And me as person I,never really take the first step when I like somebody. I dont want to scare her off.
A week after she called me and sad she wanted us to met up and discuss some business, huhuh.. Business yeah ;-) She invited me to come for a event that week. We hooked up that night and since then we have been inseparable.
Being in a relathinship for less then 2 weeks. She propose or asked me to marry her. And I said yes rigth away. I was happy she pop the quetion and not me. As I sad before I dont want to scare her off.
We arranged a hughe wedding party in Manila. In on of the most popular night spots out.
The guest list consisted of around 3oo hundred guests, friends and family,mostley everyone from my fiance's side. The theme was ROCKSTAR.
My family where in sweden.
Our Honeymoon we celebrated in Boracay Island for 5 days by the beach. Tanning,indulging great seafood and making love few times a day. But we also had lots of drama from the beginning of our relationship. We both are very strong personalities and we always want our own way. So its knew for us to learn how to compromise in a relationship. But something we of course need to learn,if this marriage wili continue.
We had some argues and fights like many other couples have. Just that our fights escalade and became more violent and physically. But we are still togheter and love eachother more then ever before.
I must say though that women from the philippines and Asia has this very hot temper for jealousy. Its kind of nice in a way,but also irritating.
The beaches of Boracay are some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever put me feet on.. The fun charming philippine people are really welcoming and has a heart for great hospitality.


Whats Your experience from The Philippines ?

Greece:

After being based in barcelona almost for a 1 year. Traveling the modeling on and off from barcelona,and around Europe and party my head of. I've decided to pack my bag and try out my wings to reach higher grounds in my career abroad.
I told my fellow workers at Milk Bar. That im leaving for greece for 2 months. I told my dear friends that I would be back after some months if things didnt turn out well. And now its five years ago,since I last saw them.
Arriving in Athen(greece)was not to difficult since I had alot of experience from my past travelings. I must admit though. That its very lonley and tough being away from the people that u love the most. But in my mind and soul,this was somthing I needed to do for my self. If I wanted to make my dreams come true..
I came to greece in hope off making my success there as a start. The market in greece was tough for me in the beginning,to the end of my stay. I was lucky to met a friend of mine that i've got to known and been party with in Barcelona. He was studying business managment there and invited me to stay with him.
I did some jobs to keep me financially stable during my 3 month visit. I came to me a greek woman. Who where well connected in the nightlife scen in Greece. She hooked me up with some work in a placed called"Venue" and this place where some of the trendiest & hottest place to go in Athen. I slip in threw the doors and the VIP with my charm of course And later on I got in touch with the Club owner. The girl i was dating intruduced me to the owner who,direct gave access to enter one of hes bar's and show him what i got. I enterd the bar in the club,and started throwing bottles around me and shaking up some cocktails. Im sure he never seen before. This was to all my help from my past experience from Barcelona night clubs that gave this oppertunity. And finally the job. Thinsg where on and off between me and the greek woman I was dating. In the end I got tired. As I have been with most of my women. There where never anyone who caught my eye.
After staying roaming around with the people of cream de la cream and living life to the max in the lovley and sunny country Greece.
I know came in to the state of mind of leaving greece because i feelt that,my limitaions had been reached.
It was funny at that time.That was the first time i got to realize the value of being good to another person in another country and suddenly the person or God is giving it back to you. Thats why now I belive so much in Karma. It turned out that a male model from barcelona I met during my first day's there. At that time told me he was going to help me with my modeling and carrer. I didnt belive him of course. I just took that with a pinch of salt. I really didnt thing this gu where going to help me.
So anyway,finally this guy had been searching for me everywhere and finally found me in greece,where I was struggling my modeling and still party my head off. of course i had made alot of conexions. But still there was something missing.
He told me that he had scouted me for a modeling agency in Thailand and that I should travel asap.
So I sad farewell to my friends and packed my bags to leave for my next destination. The funny thing about going to a new country and religion is that u never know what is waiting for you there. Wich makes your travel more special and exciting in so many ways. In the end its all up to you how u want your trip to be........
Leaving for Bangkok(Thailand)...

Barcelona:

Year 2000 on my 20 th birthday I moved to Barcelona with a ex-girlfriend of mine back then.
I grow up with traveling at young age with my family. Every year my family went for holiday trips couple of times to all kinds of vacation spot's.
We went horse riding in the spanish mountains, visiting the pyramids of Cairo and living in the Beduin Tents of the Sahara desert. This was just some of my experieces I was lucky to see in my early age... Me and my ex-where invited by a friend of mine from sweden that have been in the same contest as me for the Title Man of sweden 1999..
He had one year earlier based him self in barcelona and was working now the modeling scene fulltime..
My wish at that time was to start modeling and hopefully become a one of the biggest in the world..
Things started well for me and my ex. I got in touch with a Modeling Agency in Barcelona who where interested to represent me as my agency there.. I also worked extra at famous ' Baja beach Club".

Aftre some time in baja beach I moved on..
I got in touch with some friends of mine,that where locals from Barcelona. They all where working or had conexions to different clubs and bars. They help me to get started right away. Since I had been working in the popular club'Baja Beach club before'. It wasen't difficult for me to find another job fast. I moved in to a friend of mine for couple of weeks,before I found something on my own. The first bar my friend had set me up with,didnt really work out for me. It didnt suit me and my skills as a person. It was to tacky in another word. But I will always cherish the help my friend gave me at that time. I went on to start working for 2 local brothers who just recent had setup there own Bar Called'MILK' center area of La Ramblas street..
My work shined there in the Bar, and the 2 brother became like my family back then. After a few weeks,partying everyday and having new girls every night and then. I came to met another gorgeous woman from the Beautiful Island of Canaries Island.
Barcelona is a place that can kill you if u get caught in the party scene. As much as I love Barcelona,people and the party, I have hard time being there because of all the memories and beautiful places to go. Im was afraid of getting stuck there.
But im sure I will return back soon..

Whats your experience from Barcelona,something the same as me ? I would love to hear your story ???
