I am the youngest of four siblings in my family. The eldest is my sister, Majal, who is 13 years older than me, then my brother, Fritz, who is 10 years older than me and lastly, my other sister, Fleurdeliz, who is just a year older than me.

My father, Fabian, works as an electrical engineer and my mother, Ninfa, works as a nurse. They are both very hardworking people and they always put the interest of the family ahead of their own. Both of them, especially my father, came from nothing. That is why they have become such an inspiration for me, because they have achieved so much with so little. They often told me that they could not imagine having their children grow up the same way that they did, and I consider myself very lucky to be blessed with such amazing and loving parents.

Me and my brother, and my sisters are really very close despite the large age gap. We were taught to respect and love each other as kids. My brother and me have almost identical interests, whether it be games, sports, shows, anything really. Even though we have 10 years of age gap between us, it doesn't matter. My eldest sister is in the states now, with her husband, and she has her own family now. She's a mother of three beautiful girls, my nieces, who I've come to miss so much because they only visit once every 3 years or so. My sister, the one before me, is a flight attendant at the Philippine Airlines. I am really proud of her, and even though she's older than me, she always feels comfortable with talking about serious stuff with me and I really appreciate that. That's why I can say that we all are very close.
