Casa del Floro, (December 2014)

" A Loving Casa"

        Once upon a time, there were two loving parents who loves their son very much. They don't have much -- just a simple dream that their child be raised with love and hope in his heart. As parents, they want to be an inspiration on the true value and meaning of life, which is FAMILY.

Soon after, the son met the woman of his parents' dreams -- the woman who became the "wings" of the son, for him to fulfill the dreams that his parents started.
It is a true blessing because the woman's family, shares the same goal and dream  for her own family members -- an unconditional sisterly and brotherly love. The woman's' family extended their love and supported the dream with their whole hearts. For the son and the woman to fulfill their own dream and for their children. This story would pass-on from their children, to their children's children and to the next generation to come.

Personally, I have enjoyed designing and doing this site, for the main reason that you would really feel the support of each member of the family which was extended to me.

With my team, a site full of trust, confidence and patience, it eventually became one of the most successful sites that I ever had.

The story of Casa del Floro;  the first plan was to make the area open for the public, but when it was turned-over to ma'am Ginny & sir Gelo, together with the "council of elders", they have decided to have it as a private resort for the whole family to enjoy.
