The Focal Point of the Clan

She seems destined to serve as link or bridge to the original families of her father and mother. Aside from being the youngest granddaughter on both sides, she is the only one that has complete communication addresses and means of contact to the relatives of her mother, initially from Laguna in Luzon, and likewise to the relatives of her father, a native of Cebu in the Visayas.

Ayrah Racaza, or “Ays” to all who know her, born on the 1st of August.1985, is the only offspring of Earlie and Julieto. She is a certifiable and capable Nursing Aide, the person their kinsfolk usually consult first in medical situations.

When her maternal grandmother suffered serious heart attacks, she is the one that took care of her in the Intensive Care Unit. It is her experiences in two city hospitals, especially her extended stint in the Emergency Room during an on-job-training, which prove to be very valuable in real-life circumstances.

Ays is also very recently a graduate of Information Technology, Web Design major. Amazingly, she has two full jobs simultaneously, one in an internet café and the other in a home-based online marketing business. Whenever she has free time, she still helps her mom in a body-grooming direct selling venture.

Her father drives a taxi, or doing whatever income-generating job comes his way, being a very competent jack-of-all-trades. The birth of his daughter cut short his rambling days, and he became her idol, inheriting his strong will and fierce determination.

Her natural ability to be able to fend for herself led her to martial arts, taekwando no less, where she excels enough to qualify for competitive conferences. Anybody who might belittle her, or worse - her family, would be making a huge mistake, because Ays “never gets mad, but she gets even”.

Nevertheless, she has a string of suitors, one even promising to invite her overseas to Macau to propose to her. When he does, he will probably get a surprise, because Ayrah has the extraordinary skill to learn a new language just by listening and watching to television drama programs in that dialect. This capability will likewise help her long way in her future ambition - to go on adventure trips in many foreign lands.
