The Birth of STEEMIT Community in General Santos City, Philippines

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Good Day Fellow STEEMIT people!

From Philippines, I am Emile Gabriel M. Lu smiling since birth and still smiling for 22 years now :)10461384_986740814675501_6772524771673503560_n.jpg

I am the youngest and the most humorously handsome in the Family!
(in case you can't find the obviously handsome in the center, THAT'S ME. -Father, 3rd, HANDSOME, 1st, 2nd)13103466_1364831340199778_4227375611490251864_n.jpg
My apologies having this picture, this is the only complete family picture we got since My 1st and 3rd Big Brother work overseas, My family find it hard to be together when my mother was still alive, she died due to Myocardial infarction (MI) or Heart Attack.

The death of my mother turned my never ending smiles into frowns and depression, I mourned and suffered for almost 3 months, I have lost my reason to smile and laugh, my will to live; My everything. I gave up on life.

but not my 4 Best Buddies.15780708_1599427620073481_1338865227749222242_n.jpg
(HANDSOME, James Carl, Louise Kenneth, Karl Jeffrey and Joharie)

they never lost hope and gave up on me. they never left me behind. until I realized that I should never lose hope and give up.

Together;
We appreciated the gift of Mother Nature.1470113_926969993981136_866200641194539161_n.jpg

We maintained a healthy lifestyle21123235_1823857314297502_982601953_o.jpg

then I met Seychelle Anne B. Cabatingan.

My cute but tough partner in my life <3, we're together for 2 years now yet I still can't believe how lucky I am to be with her.

Now I thought that I was very lucky to have my Family, Best Buddies and My Pretty Partner.
but then again, I was blessed to have the BEST 'BARKADA' (n. Group of Friends).

"The Gaw Family"

The GAW Family was formed having My Best Buddies on its core.
so that leaves the member of the family with our own partners, classmates, cousins, aunties and uncles, even our own siblings.

At first, it was just a 'BARKADA' for fun, but later on we turned into an Organization that helps and fights for each other.
We even commit into our own society by engaging into Charity Programs, such as Feeding Programs, Blood Donation, etc. and now, with the Help of Louie John Subaan or @Keshawn here on STEEMIT. We have established the Very First STEEMIT Community here in General Santos City (The TUNA Capital of the Philippines and the birthplace of Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao)
