More about me:

Hello, my name is Shirani Cortes, 38 yrs old. I lived with my aunt in Ozamis City. I am a college graduate majoring in Business Administration from a girl’s school in Cebu City. Though it’s very far from our place where we lived, I was able to attend and graduate.

I am the eldest from 5 children, 4 girls and 1 boy, the youngest. All girls have graduated from college and the youngest still in college.

I have gained many and different of 15 yrs of work experience from office clerk, garment supervisor, marketing officer and lastly a call center agent. But it didn’t last long because of time schedule. But basically, my ambition in life starting at age 16 was having a small business of my own. But since of financial status, my ambition fades away. So instead, I start working from different offices and hopefully planning to put up something that would call it my own. But I guess at my age today, I haven’t started what I have planned.

Right now, I am lucky enough with my aunt and cousin who owns a business, help-out and also trained myself in baking and cooking which I am very fond of doing.

Since I am the eldest, my parents wants me to finish college and be a role model to my siblings. I didn’t got the chance to have a boyfriend when I was in college because they want me to be serious in studies.

I was pregnant at 30 and married at 31. At first my boyfriend don’t want to get married but since my daughter is growing and needs a father, we got married. But at the end, he blames me of forcing him to marry me. I thought I was marrying the right person, be happy with him from start to finish. But I was wrong, he left me and my daughter for somebody to the same gender as his. He loves to drink and smoke and be merry with other people and friends, a ‘happy-go-lucky guy’, meaning he is irresponsible. He left us for more than 3 yrs already and raising up my daughter on my own without any financial support from him. I am done loving my husband and I want to transfer all those love to my daughter who gives me joy and happiness.

Right now, I am looking for a man who is responsible, hardworking and romantic. Somebody who will give respect and help me out on my future plans. Hoping also that its not too late.
