  Everyone has there own way of living. No matter what road we take still it lies on our own hands what would we become in the future. I have worked hard to be on the right way of life, together with the help of my family and friends to achieve my dreams. Now let me share to you the things that I considered as strong foundations of myself.

  I am Dyrene May Castillo Antong and you can call "dye" for short. My name is very unique; I got it from the last syllables of my parents name and also from my birth month, May. My philosophy on life is, "Happiness can't be found at the end of the road. It is experienced every time you make a sudden turn."

  I was born on May 8, 1992 at Chinese General Hospital. I'm the second child in the family. my father was a graduate of Mechanical Engineering He was the eldest in their family. and my mother was a graduate of B.S. Chemistry and pursued a course in Medicine. She's also the eldest in their family. My father is a businessman, he was managing our business while my mother is a simple house wife, but before she got married and had her own family she was working in the Hospital as an all around Doctor. We were six in the family, composed of my mom and dad, and me and my 3 siblings. My older sister was a 3rd year college student at PUP Sta. Mesa taking Clinical Psychology. My brother was a 3rd year high school student at St. Michael Academy. And my youngest sister was a 1st year high school student at St. Louis College of Valenzuela.
