Dear Reader,
Thanks for visiting my website.
I now heave a sigh of relief as I lead you on to reading this "love letter" in its entirety. Yes, I call it a "love letter" because "care" is what this whole thing is all about. Oh no, this isn't me professing my undying love for you, don't worry (I have reserved myself for Brad Pitt, after all!). Allow me to explain.

When I was much younger, my parents didn't have to endure the fear of having a heart attack as I played freely in the streets, walked home from school alone at night, and (unreasonably) spent all my allowance in the mall all by my lonesome. Neither was I ever wary of trusting our househelp or commuting to and from home. Everything was just safe.
Needless to say, things are quite different now; not just where I'm from, but everywhere around the world. Now that I'm a parent myself, I've realized that every bit of information I get about how to keep my family safe is as important as safety itself. I would love to attribute my undying paranoia to all the coffee I've consumed (it just sounds like a better excuse) but I also believe what they say: better safe than sorry.
Some years ago I worked a security analyst for an Asia-based business risk consultancy firm. Not so very Mrs. Smith (I wasn't tasked to kill my husband), more like Inspector Gadget (but no fancy hat or trench coat), and boy did I feel I had a purpose! I hate crime with a passion but I love solving it and helping people prevent it. Regrettably, I left my job not long after I joined the company because just like you, I had to pay the bills. But I couldn't move on and started blogging about safety and security on Blogspot ( thank you so much blogspot! ) just months later. I had a growing audience and received so much encouragement from my readers; a year later, I took the big leap and kurukuronimye.com was born.
Fast forward to now, it's been a whole year that I've been on this website. I've redesigned bits and pieces, changed this and changed that, all for the love of my readers.
Now, if you're not from the Philippines, know that this is a generally safe place to visit. Although like many other countries, bad things happen here too and that's what I'm here for, to keep you armed with information so you'll know what to do, what to avoid, and how to live a worry-free life (well not 100%, who doesn't drink coffee anyway?).
Thanks again for visiting and feel free to shoot me an email, ask questions, request for advice, report anything you feel needs to be reported. More than anything, kurukuronimye.com is a safety hub, a community of people who wish to work together to keep the world informed and safe.
Best and love to you all,
