I can't explain my happiness at this moment that I finally found my guide and guardian who could help me complete my identity. Despite the fact that I'm now contented and happy with my life having a family that raises me with love and care ( Since my mother got married to my step Father), there's still this urge of mine of knowing the person who had contributed to my existence-my biological father. 

I'm not a kind of person that plants hatred especially that my father abandoned me. I just have this belief that everything happens for a reason, and that losing a parent is not a loss but an opportunity to make myself become a better and stronger person.
My mother and I are not that close that's why I don't have enough idea and detailed information about my father. My mother just told me that my father went to Cebu, Philippines to earn a degree in Pharmacy. They met at a german restaurant located in Cebu City where my mother worked at. They fell in love with each other that have caused me to be the fruit of their love. He was able to sustain me up to the age of 3 months old through sending money from Korea because he went back to korea not knowing the reason why. There was this scenario that my mother went to a bank to get the money sent by him and she received a text from an unknown person that there was a tragic flood that happened in their place (Busan, South Korea) that have caused his disconnection with us. The only thing that I have now as a remembrance of him is a picture and it seems that we look alike. I still hope that we could see each other if not in this world maybe in the other world. (in heaven)

Now, I'm 2 decades living in this world without my father's presence. I hope that even a single day he thinks of me. I would like him to know that I always include him in my prayers that may he's in good condition,and I also thank him for praying for me-the most important support that I need. No father is cruel when it comes to his sons and daughters. This is the reason why I don't feel that I'm intentionally abandoned,instead I always think that he maybe gave me time to be matured and stronger as a person. I am who I am today because of what had happened to my life- a graduating BS Accountancy student and Magna Cum Laude standing. Fighting for life and full of motivation.
