About Us

My wife and I were classmates in College of Law at the Saint Louis University in Baguio City, Philippines. How our love bloomed and how I eventually came to know my wife as my soulmate was told on The Story of Us.

We got married civilly on December 8, 1998 and had that marriage ratified in a Church ceremony 2 years thereafter on December 9, 2000.

We were unable to put our respective names in the Roll of Attorneys as we moved to Canada in 2002 when our first child, JJ, was just about 10 months old. Our knowledge in Law and legal system, it seems, was not meant to be used and practiced in a court room in the Philippines but it paved the way for us to learn about and practice Canadian Immigration Law. Our first major career opportunity was with a Filipino-owned firm that dealt mainly with Canadian Immigration. We worked efficiently and with so much dedication that in a matter of few months, we were both entrusted to manage and run the company ourselves. It branched out to several sister companies under our effective management. However, the ‘crab mentality’ of our fellowmen in that company stressed us out so much that we decided to relinquish our position and control in exchange for peace of mind and healthy existence.

Meanwhile, our family grew in number. We had our daughter, JM, in 2004, followed by Jaq in 2005 and then Jake in 2006. My wife and I willingly gave up our respective careers to care for our children the best way we could — ‘hands-on parenting’. We managed businesses in the comfort of our home, only working part-time with different companies over the years.

We went back home to our home country, Philippines, in 2008 for a much needed family reunion. It was the first time for my parents to see their only grandchildren (I am the eldest of the 2, and my brother has yet to settle down).

Later that year, my wife and I went to the US, making it our second honeymoon in our 10 years of marriage. And that was when our fifth child was conceived. Unfortunately, my wife suffered a miscarriage on her 3rd month of pregnancy. After 4 C-Section deliveries, it was apparent that my wife could no longer carry to term another child without facing a lot of risks. We named our 5th baby, Jonathan. He is still with us, although in a different realm of togetherness. He is now our own angel in heaven.

My wife was obviously devastated with the incident that we decided to take ‘sabbatical leave’ from our daily routine. We headed back to the US and spent some time with her mother, but this time bringing our daughter, JM, along with us.

Unknowingly, our second visit to US turned out to be the greatest getaway for us both, so far, as we had the chance to further and deepen our understanding of the Law of Attraction. The journey led us to the teachings of Dr. Wayne Dyer, Echart Tolle, Dr. Joe Vitale, among others. But most importantly, we were able to wholeheartedly accept the early departing of our baby Jonathan from this world and to view what seems to be a tragedy from a different perspective. Now we are at peace with what had happened.

We know that our family has been blessed with so much over the years. We are filled with so much gratitude and awe that we try to give back as much as we can within our power and ability. This website is one of those little ways. We hope to inspire others through whatever knowledge and life experiences we have had.

Last year, we celebrated our 11th year of being husband and wife. My wife had summed up our happy years with this VIDEOS we deem worth sharing with you.

It is our hope that we have a positive impact on anyone who comes across our family website. We are still God’s work in progress, as our website is. We hope that, through our website we will be able to share to you the blessings, joy, happiness, peace and abundance that we continuously receive every moment of our lives.

Thank you.
God bless you always.

Namaste
