Our Story..
We actually came from different set of groupings on our P.E class during our freshmen year in college. Then we suddenly became comfortable with each other and have built a good chemistry towards one another. We easily get along well, we jive and we enjoyed each other’s company. Each of our personalities complements with one another. We respect one’s beliefs/cultures/religions as well our own set of opinions. As time goes by; our group was not merely just a group but rather a friendship that was built by acceptance/trust/loyalty/understanding/comfort and most of all love..

As time goes by; our group was not merely just a group but rather a friendship that was built by acceptance/trust/loyalty/understanding/comfort and most of all love..
Back when we were in college, we spend most of our time being together. We study we learn. We share answers, we back up each other! We eat we gain weight! We were hurt we comforted one another. We had problems we helped each other. We cry we laugh! All these things happened in the four corners of our classroom that somehow help us to become more mature individuals as we face our everyday lives. I believe that this made our friendship more closely.
But then again, there are things which are not beyond our control; Alena and Nissiel have to stop and left schooling due to their personal reasons. Abigaile also left school but came back a year after. So Cristine, Eunice, MayPearl and Me stayed and have to bear with the adjustments that we have to finish until the end of our course. But there are circumstances that don’t go our way. We have been tested; we even came to a point that we have to be divided for quite some time. It was the most difficult time on our friendship. Maypearl chose to be on her own. That’s the reason why only 6 remained. The 6 of us chose to renew the friendship, to strengthen the bond and continue the relationship of being friends. I must say that if there’s one thing that truly described our friendship is LOYALTY! We all learned from that conflict/misunderstanding/mistake call it whatever, but we knew in our hearts that Daberkadz will live and the 6 of us will not give up on it! Tin, Nice and I soon graduated; we completed our course with flying colors, 6 months after, Abigaile also graduated! We share this victory with our fellow Daberkadz Alena and Nissiel. I know that they were also proud of us!
The above photos were taken during fiesta of 2007 and
2008. It was on 2008 that finally we were able to be completed again
after several months of being apart after we graduated.

After graduation, we
have been apart for quite some time because we have to face the real world as
adults. We had our struggling moments but we were able to overcome because though
we are not seeing each other as often as we want, we were able to comfort, help
and show our love for one another. We became each other’s strengths so we can
achieve our goals in life.
The following photos are manifestations of our friendship that though we have been separated by time apart and schedule, we still manage to see each other especially during fiesta or on our birthdays.
While in these photos, on the left was Eunice's birthday March of 2008 and on the right was Cristine's birthday August of 2008.
This photo was taken during our one summer outing at Villa Antonina on March 22, 2008
Fast forward, Alena, Nissiel and Cristine are now married with their chosen
partners in life. Without a doubt, they were executing the best roles of their
lives as housewives and moms. We all know that being a mother is a tough job; no
amount of salary can compensate the happiness that they gain from their children.
And as for their husbands, Errol, Jonald and Prunz, they have been a great provider, good father and a loving husband to their wives. I salute you all for a job well done!
This photo was taken during our visit to Tin when she first gave birth to her first born Reign. Along with us are Alena's son Lian and Nissiel's daughter Abby.

While Eunice and Abigaile, as I’ve said, they are happily in a relationship right now with their boyfriends, as time passes by, I believe that someday the 2 of them will eventually settle down too, I will never know, maybe in 2 years’ time. They’ve been working very hard to fulfill their dreams and accomplish their goals for their family and for their future plans ahead. Oh well, as I described myself earlier, I’ve never been into any relationship, BUT, my heart is taken by someone I can't call as my own now, my Daberkadz know that and again because they are my friends they support me and accept my craziness when it comes to love. I know that what they only want and wish for me is to meet that someone who will love me truly and will make me happy completely! And as for me, I will fulfill my goals in life too.
This one is for the 3 of us who hasn't been married yet. The 2 right there on the upper left side is Abigaile with her boyfriend Tim. Meanwhile, the other 2 on the right side is Eunice with her boyfriend Jhune. Lastly, the 2 on the middle is Me and the "one" who has my heart.
(malakas loob ko na ilagay xa dito kse hindi nman nya makikita to..hahaha) but we'll never know baka may iba pla, pwedi naman palitan pag nangyari yon!

These 2 photos were taken during our post Christmas gatherings, the one on the left was taken on December 30, 2009 and on the right was taken on December 26, 2010
Here is our
last get together, during our visit to Tin as she gave birth to
her 2nd daughter Aviel.
I've always been proud and even prouder now to belong in this kind of camaraderie. We've been through the good and bad times, we've shared our laughter's as well our tears. We've been through the hardest and we become the toughest! and yes! we're still we! I'm certain that whatever life takes us, we're strong enough to face them! As we celebrate our 10th year this June, my prayer will be for us to have a healthy life, happy relationship with our loved ones, success in our future endeavors, more bondings/get together, and that may we all live a happy and contented life! I pray that our friendship will go not just for a decade but for many many more years of fruitful togetherness and happiness!
It has been a wonderful journey for Daberkadz, a journey that made us who we are today, a journey that taught us to be stronger, braver and bolder in facing life’s challenges. I believe that this journey has a long way to go, but with God as our strong foundation, we will be able to succeed!
If I were to be asked one of the most memorable thing that ever happened to me when I was in
college, I will definitely say, when I met my DABERKADZ! we may not be perfect but we're REAL!

Allow
me to thank all of you guyz for being so patient with me, for bringing
out the best in me despite my frustrations and failures in life. For
supporting me with all my decisions. For being there for me despite the
distance and time apart. For giving me courage and for understanding my
flaws and weaknesses. Most of all, for loving me and accepting me for
who and what I am.
