MISSIONARIES

I am a housewife, with 2 sons and blessed with 4 grandchildren. On Dec. 18 we will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary! We are an encountered couple - Marian Missionaries of the Holy Eucharist, Marriage Encounter Community. For more than 14 years I worked as Admin/HR Officer and now HR Consulting Manager at a management consulting firm. I love my job, for I can say that I have made a difference in someone's life. I will be 60 next year, that would mean an early retirement. For me, age is just a number and life has to go on. I still wish to continue what I am doing and probably have something on the side. My husband has joined VMobile Technology. It's an eloading business wherein you use your own cellphone/sim card and 1 load wallet for all telco networks and pre-paid cards. Since the Philippines is known as texting capital of the world, we hope to succeed on this endeavor. :)
