<p>Filipino-German model Maureen Wroblewitz shared that her family was finally complete for Christmas this year, which was something they hadn&#x27;t experienced in a decade.</p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s been 10 years since we were complete on Christmas ✨ After our flights got rebooked, cancelled, double booked then rebooked to the next day at 10 p.m., my Dad asked me if it was still worth it - especially since we only planned a quick trip because of our cats,&quot; she posted on her Instagram page.</p><p>Despite the setbacks, Maureen said the experience reinforced the importance of choosing time with family, especially given life&#x27;s unpredictability.</p><p>&quot;And it made me realize that I couldn&#x27;t remember the last time we were all reunited on Christmas. I didn&#x27;t want to miss out because you never know. Having lost our Mom at 11, I didn&#x27;t know that Christmas would be our last one together,&quot; she stated.</p><p>The <em>Asia&#x27;s Next Top Model </em>season 5 winner went on: &quot;I want to treasure all the time that I get to spend with family 🤍 So my answer will &#x27;always&#x27; be yes. It&#x27;s always worth it to see my family! Money comes back, but time doesn&#x27;t!&quot;</p><p>Maureen admitted that she got emotional making the post. &quot;I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas celebration 🎄❤️ p.s.: I’m crying typing this 😭 it’s so hard being a long distance sister ❤️‍🩹,&quot; she relayed.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSv40riiPpy/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=532&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A344677.7000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A344024.80000019073%2C%22le%22%3A344459.10000014305%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1259" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Back in April, Maureen shared that it was over a year since she moved from the Philippines to the United States.</p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s been a little over a year since I moved here 🥹 i never officially posted that I left the Philippines but when I posted the first video on TikTok I was in the process of moving,” she posted on her Instagram page at that time.</p><p>Reflecting on the transition, Maureen shared how stepping out of her comfort zone helped her grow.</p><p>“Before I moved I told a friend how I was excited to leave my comfortable life back and start again and boy did I start again. It has definitely not been easy but i do have a habit of getting out of my comfort zone to grow as a person,&quot; she remarked.</p><p>She also noted how the move allowed her to further build meaningful connections.</p><p>&quot;The longer I am here, the more I love it! I&#x27;ve met such incredible people, made the best friends, discovered I had family in Socal and so much more ❤️ I really encourage ya&#x27;ll to do something that scares you because it&#x27;ll always be worth it in the end,&quot; she concluded her post.</p>
