Once Upon A Time, in the beautiful island of Cebu, there was a little girl named Amelita…

She grew up with a curiosity both unique and insatiable. Never settling for the norm, she blazed through life with ambition and fearless ingenuity. If you could take the essence of sunshine and the twinkle of stars, and sprinkle it in the air, it would be as if she passed by. One day she met a boy named Ruperto…

Somewhat of a “James Dean,” a rogue as brilliant as she, a jack-of-all-trades, he possessed that certain “something” that brings two people together. They fell in love, and together they were blessed with a family…

The first being of great depth of mind and heart, she would take after the father in demeanor and personality. The second was the son, considered by some as reminiscent of the mother’s manner and bearing. The third was an enigma from the start, possessing of a piercing gaze and unquenchable mind betraying nothing of what lay within the depths of her mystery. The fourth would be the baby, taking after the mother’s remarkable analytic skill, charm and leadership ability. The four would love their parents dearly, for they devoted themselves to the success of their family – success not of money or achievement, but of character and integrity, trusting in God and able to depend on one another. And they lived… The story is still being written, but the heroes are already known. The mother is the teacher, the healer, the counselor, the friend. The father is the pillar, the joker, the provider, the mentor.

The story is still being written, but the family tree is still growing. The four having found their soul’s mates, are carrying on the torch. Looking forward to a lifetime together, the love shared by the family is in full bloom. The story is still being written, but the end is already known.
