 Hello
Everyone!!
My
name is Emily, a simple and artistic person. As a matter of fact, I'm
a mother of one daughter, Charmaine, and the wife of Ulrich, a German
Dipl-engineer. In 1994 we met in Antipolo, Manila. He was assigned as
a consultant by Solid Cement Factory in Antipolo. I was born on November
21, 1974 in Caloocan city, Manila, Philippines, but I grew up in Surigao
del Norte. I think I have a unique birthday he...he...he...people like
to learn more about me. Here's some information about me.
I'm busy as vice-president of PhilGer e.V (Philippines &German Association
in Oberhausen) & I'm also busy with my new organization (SFA) Samahang
Filipino sa Alemanya Ahlen, here in Germany. And I'm still studying at
the moment, fulfilling a childhood dream to become a nurse someday. I
don't have time to learn everything but I am inspired by the beautiful
things in this world. I know what I like. "I like to create things
and I've always enjoyed trying something new". What is important
for me is actually to do something that will benefit others. I know it
sounds cheesy but that's it!!! If you believe in something and you know
that what you're doing is right, just keep trying, don't be afraid to
fail or to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. I want to teach other young
people to learn to take care of themselves, to stand on their own two
feet. Actaully, I've had a lot of bad experiences but I never gave up.
All I do is pray to God. He is always there for you. Just try to achieve
your aims and believe in yourself. Tell yourself "I can do that if
other people can!" Just strive to achieve your aims. I know I'm not
the youngest but I'm still able to reach my goals. I like to learn and
I'd like to know more about a lot of things. Education is one of the Filipino's
top priorities. We would give up just about anything so we can send our
children to school to give them the best education we can possibly afford.
I have succeeded in continuing my studies.
When
Ulrich and I got married in September 12, we made a vow to have and
hold each other for better or for worst, in front of our family, friends
and before God almighty. It all seemed so perfect and true. It seemed
that with a kiss for luck and everyone’s well wishes we were indeed
on our way to an ideal married life. By God’s mercies, I would
not have predicted that our relationship would be close to perfect.
But a year after that fateful day in September, it seems that we have
lived up to all expectations. That is the way our love story goes…
On this day, September 12, 1997. Ulrich and I celebrated our 7th wedding
anniversary. Things are close to perfect and life is good! I thank God
every day for all the blessings He has showered my family and pray to
Him to guide us and protect us from the temptations of the world. In
fact, our relationship has developed into something far richer than
my early romantic view. , . We have worked hard to arrive at a place
of ease with one another and our circumstances. On our 7th wedding anniversary,
we celebrated. In between all this activity we both took the time to
reflect on our commitment to ourselves, to each other and to our relationship.
. For us I think it is dedication to common purposes, a willingness
to grow and learn, faith and courage in difficult situations and adaptability.
It implies focused attention and hard work. I must admit that the past
year has molded and matured me. All enduring relationships go through
many phases. Ironically, it is often the most difficult situations that
serve to strengthen relationships. In our case by being a filipina woman
and all the quirks that go with it has moved us from a hard working
couple to a deeper, fuller commitment to each other and our relationship...
Looking forward
to more years ahead with us if not forever!
My
Message: Life is a one way street. No matter how many detours you take,
none of them leads back. So enjoy life's moment.
