Hello everyone, this is 
We live a simple life, contented and happy. My happiness is the happiness of my children. They are my life, the best thing that I ever have.
I graduated Bachelor of Science in Information Technology at the University of Cebu and currently working in a private company (M. Lhuillier Phils.) for 17 years and assigned here in our town as Branch Manager.
We serve our customers with the utmost respect and provide their expectations. Our services are Quick Cash Loan (Jewelry) also known in Cebuano as Prenda, Money Transfer Domestic and International, Money Changer, Insurance, Car Loan, Housing Loan, and many others. It was an honor dealing with our customers.
I am the youngest of the 3 siblings in the family. My parents sent us to school to have a degree despite of financial difficulties. I experienced a lot of difficulties during my college days but I was able to pursue my education, helped my parents, and did a part-time job. Looking back on my younger days, the memories that I have was full of love for my parents and my siblings. We are very close to each other and even now. Everyone's problem is our concern. Nobody was left alone.

Growing up, I experienced helping my parents take care of our animals like pigs, goats, and cows. I learned so much from them. I just want to repay their sacrifices and love for us. It makes me a responsible person at a young age. All I want is to help them and obey their house rules. My parents are very strict, and disciplined and I am very grateful to them for what I have become now. My father died because of lung disease after my graduation. It was my first heartbreak. I always remembered how he strive hard and provide for our needs. How lucky I am to be his daughter. I truly miss him so much.
My Hobbies
I love playing volleyball and reading novels during my childhood. I also enjoyed watching my favorite teleserye during my free time. I consumed most of my free time doing household chores. I also love plants. I am happy with this kind of routine. But I also love to go to beautiful places if given a chance.
I may not have plenty of friends because I am a silent type, serious, and a homebody person but I proud to say that I have true friends who know me better and embrace my downfall.
My Journey of Motherhood
As a mother of four children was not an easy job but I am doing my best to become a good mother to them. I am happy to see them healthy and happy all the time. When at home I made sure that everything was fine. Until trials came, my 6-year-old daughter (third child) got sick. She was having high fever, and had tiny red spots on her skin so we decided to bring her on check at Bogo City, our neighboring town.
The result of her laboratory was not good at all, the doctor referred us to an expert hematologist/oncologist in Cebu City. During the pandemic was not easy and we have to travel for almost four hours. But we are very desperate to bring our daughter there. I made a call directly to the hospital and our daughter was confined to the best hospital in Cebu City.
Our doctor talked to us that our daughter needs to undergo a bone marrow aspiration procedure to identify what type of Leukemia she has. When the result came up, our daughter was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (a blood cancer) last February 27, 2021.
Her oncologist said that it is a type of Leukemia that has only a 30% survival rate and we need to prepare ourselves for her medication. After hearing those words I can't imagine how I felt. My body was shaking and my heart was broken and in pain. I wanted to shout and cry out loud but no words came out of my mouth. I was shocked, my mind was lost. I don't know what to do next but I saw my daughter's innocent face.
I feel her strength and that moment realized me to be strong and keep my faith in God. So we decided on her immediate chemotherapy even if we are not financially prepared. All I want is to save my daughter's life. No matter how difficult it is but I know that God is always there for us.
I keep on praying and am thankful to God that He made an instrument who helped us financially and emotionally. The support of our family, friends, and even those not related to us helped us unconditionally. I am so blessed to have a family who is always there for us. I am grateful for their kindness and generosity.
Our battle is also their battle. I don't know what will happen without them because the illness of my child is horrible. During the introduction chemotherapy of for my child, I noticed that I am having anxiety and depression but I have to be strong for my daughter. I keep myself closer to God.
(
Chemotherapy here in the Philippines is very expensive and we are financially exhausted but we did our very best to find ways like asking for financial assistance from our government and different foundations just to continue her treatment. We have high hopes that we win this battle. It affected our daily lives but I have faith in God even more. I know his Goodness and plans for us.
I believe in His miracle and nothing is impossible with Him. Thankfully, my daughter is now on her maintenance phase chemotherapy and her treatment will end this coming month of October. My heart is rejoicing knowing that our lives will be back to normal again. We will continue praying for her complete healing. My daughter is a brave warrior. She dreams to become a nurse someday. At a very young age, she understands our situation.
I know miracles do happen and that God answers all our prayers. Life is precious and we have to live it to the fullest. It is a gift from above.
