Love Happens!


Ireana in front of her painting

Life is full of surprises indeed. We can always plan ahead but plans fall through sometimes. However, it’s not necessary a bad thing. We’ve heard people miss their flight only to find that plane crashed later on. Ireana, a nine-month pregnant Canadian woman postponed her return flight, just to find Jack, the father of the baby, the man she’s going to spend her life with during her extended trip in Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand. By the way, the plane she was supposed to be on made it to its destination just fine.

Ireana met Jack, the local Thai young man, at the full moon party the day she was supposed to be on the plane back to Taiwan, where she’s been working as an English teacher. The Full Moon Party at Ko Pha Ngan is popular among travellers as well as local people. Music played all night under the moonlight by the nice white sand beach with warm breezes blowing, who wouldn’t want to fall in love. “Twenty more days till I can see Jack”, says Ireana. She’s got a plane to catch in the end of May to Thailand. They are going to form a family there.

She’s probably one of the healthiest and most energentic pregnant ladies I’ve ever seen. With her belly looking ready to pop anytime, she swiftly moved plants around for our photo shoot. She was absolutely open to things I suggested, totally laid back. Everything in her expresses happiness and every movement she makes declares she’s in love. It’s a pleasure to be involved at this stage of her life and I wish her the very best. Bon voyage , Ireana!
