We Are Family

This is my family. I am proud to say that God blessed me with a good family. I have friends who would get envy at me when I was young for having a loving family. My dad's name is Ernie and my mom is Letty. I am proud to have a very hardworking and loving parents who painstakingly raised us 5 children so they could give us good education and future.

I have 3 brothers and 1 sister. My siblings names are (in chronological order he he he) Edmon, Eric, Emil and Marileth.

As a 3rd child, I experienced what they called a "middle child syndrome". A feeling that your parents' attention and love to you is not the same as your siblings.

I am aware that my siblings are blessed with better looks than I do. But, this did not discouraged me to study hard and to pursue my dreams. So I studied hard and positively turned this negative feeling in a more rewarding manner to get my parents' attention.

Growing up in a "blessed town" of Tondo taught me a lot of things in life and made me a stronger person that I am today. Tondo, a place where you could see happy people
despite of their economic condition. A place where you could see people who knows how to appreciate even the littlest things that they have.

It is for this reason that I have learned to appreciate even the smallest blessings I receive from God.
