"The child is the father of the man"
-William Wordsworth- They say our experiences in the past shape us of who become in the future. Looking at the timeline of my life brings back all the good and bad memories I had, but what's wonderful about it is that I was able to overcome the difficulties I have encountered and have experienced countless blessing from God's love and mercy for me and my family. |

"AQuinG"
It was on 29th day of September 1989 when Lolong and Tess had their second bundle of joy out of the four kids they will have soon. They named her after the nurse who assisted Tess during her delivery. Years later, she explained that she chose the name because the nurse was really kind and lovely. Odd, isn't it? It took me a long time to consider the idea of how I was named.
There were countless times that I thought what would happen to me if I have a different life.I grew up in a family who experienced a lot of financial difficulties but somehow it was not all hard. Sometimes I get to have the comforts in life. I've both tried living in a slum area in the city and a peaceful neighborhood in the province. Studied at a public school in my primary, private school in my secondary, and University in my tertiary level. So I can't really say it was all tough. God has given me so much over the years that's why I don't feel down in times of crises.
