It is difficult to write this part of the page
as I don`t know where to begin. Particularly when it comes to narrating
about oneself.. Well, here it is:
I was born in the southern part of the Philippines, in Roxas Zamboanga del
Norte (this takes most government officials quite a time to write in their
files because it's so long). My mother gave me the name CHUCHI, which
derives from a flower called KALACHUCHI. Owing to the fact that the majority of
the inhabitants in the archipelago are catholics, I also got an affix to my
beautiful first name, and that is MARY. Though not catholic, I obtain my
school education at different catholic institutions. The most special
schooling I ever had was that at the primary/Kindergarten school in
Dipolog, where I
learned Chinese in the morning and normal subjects (grade one) in the
afternoon. The rest of the years in primary school were accompanied with
colorful and unforgettable moments.
In the high school, where I got rigid training
in the fields of sciences, home economics and even military drills (really
very formal), I enjoyed the time whenever my classmates and I met and
practiced our dance steps for the incoming school or town celebrations, so
called extra curricular activities. The higher education at the University of Sto. Tomas was
quite okay, where I took up AB (Bachelor of Arts).
It
seems as though the schooling in the Philippines was not enough that I
cannot stop going to "school" to learn. The continuation was here
in Germany. I obtain my Abitur in Gelsenkirchen and decided to make my
apprenticeship (Ausbildung zur Kauffrau im Groß- und
Außenhandel). The examination from the IHK, Essen in 1996, marked
another completed hurdle. The time in the company is worth remembering and
of course it has changed my way of living and understanding. Due to the
decision of further studies, I left the company and enrolled myself at the
University in Bochum in the fields of Wirtschaft and Maschinenbau.
Due to circumstances and private reasons I
completely shifted to architecture where I was thrown to Kaiserslautern by the ZVS in
Dortmund. And there was the highlight, I met my Jan Peter with just an
Anmeldung zum Tanzen. I couldn't believe to find someone, who is so
understanding and thoughtful. There we are now with our Julia. We will fly
to the Philippines as a family and I am so eager to show them the other side
of the world.
