(Ibang-iba ang Pinoy) NANGARAP MAGMADRE, NAGING WIFE NG AUSSIE

Our culture, our traditions, our language, are the foundation in which we build our identity.

Una kong pinangarap na pumasok sa kumbento para magmadre, ngunit nauwi ako sa pag-aaral ng Journalism sa Lyceum of the Philippines.

I was an average college student, but I studied hard with patience and perseverance. I eventually graduated. Masyado akong mahiyain para maging reporter kaya nag-aral ako ng Education para maging high school teacher sa hometown ko sa Bocaue, Bulacan.

I migrated to Australia in 1988 and became a nurse in a home for the aged. I tried my utmost best — to the best of my ability to survive — humbly accepting wherever destiny has decided to plant me, to bloom. I eventually married an Australian and had children with him.

Heto ako ngayon sa Brisbane, Queensland, Australia — Ina ng dalawang beautiful daughters — sina Eleanor Marie na isang fashion editor, at Dominique Frances na isang negosyante. Ito ang sulok na itinakda sa akin ng Diyos sa ilalim ng araw.
