Hi steemians! I am new member of this site, this is my first blog :) let me introduce myself.
Im Marizen Julian or you can call me Zen for short 25 years old currently working as a Secretary in UAE, I love listening music, watching movie and dancing. Dancing is my passion. My goal in life to travel in different places and having my
own business.
I have two siblings, one older sister, and one younger brother,
my parents are living in Philippines with my brother and Im staying with my sister here in UAE. Just like other families, we are also experiencing ups and down. We struggle a lot but we are strong & happy family. We support, listen and give and take for each other.
Here some pictures of my family :)

Im from Central Luzon province of Pampanga. People in pampanga called kapampangan or pampangeños.
We are known for cooking a delicious foods and meals. That's why Pampanga is surrounded by a lot of restaurants, fast foods, kiosk and street foods. We are also known for making a giant lantern, every month of December, Kapampangans are competing for making the most beautiful, bright and unique giant lantern. We called them as “parol”. Our lantern is made up of different colors just like a kaleidoscope which every blink can change colors.
Here sample pictures of Giant Lantern
Speaking of December, what I really love the most is the spirit of Christmas. Attending mass with the family, eating "'puto bungbong " and "bibingka"' while drinking hot chocolate. You can see everywhere selling these native delicacies. You can also hear Christmas song everywhere even children sing Christmas carols in the street.
