I have a story to tell ; )

Okay so.....y'all should know that my fave subject in school is history.....which you guys might think as boring but this is very interesting for me and besides,I'm introducing you guys to myself in these blog posts so....might as well just do what I want......

Anyway,let's start with Magellan......

Ferdinand Magellan,he's a portugese unlike some people who thought he was Spanish.....so once upon a time...blah blah blah Spain and Portugal were fighting over territories and shizz like that so a priest made a divider between the world......this happened when all thought that the world was flat and if you get to the edge and fall you'll be eaten by some kind of monster......ofc die too but it sounds like bullsh*t right?Apparently Magellan thought it was bullsh*t too so he went to the King of Portugal to prove that the world was round and blah blah blah and that the flat earth was a load of bullsh*t but he refused so he went to Spain and he fell in love with a girl and coincidentally her father was....well I don't remember but he was like.....something with the King....not or friends or anything but he's like a servant(?)... But anyways,he went to the King of Spain and he agreed to his plan and gave him ships with men in it.

Ships were named:Victoria,Trinidad,Conception.....girl names I know......then there's Santiago and San Antonio...obv boy names.....okay,moving on......

So he went but not just to prove the world is round but also to find Moluccas island aka the land of spices.Why?Simply because it's cold in Spain and they need it for body heat....so he got to an island that I forgot what to call but they called it land of the the thieves because......okay so they arrived there when there was a celebration so they joined in got drunk and a lot of stuff from their ship were stolen when they returned to it.So....there was a storm while they were voyaging and then one of the boy ships were destroyed......then one of the boy ships returned to Spain because the men couldn't last.They were already eating rats,sock and a lot more and also drinking their own piss....I couldn't blame them.....so the thee girl ships voyaged to find Moluccas island but they stumbled upon Cebu,an island in Philippines... Anyways,he was impressed by the beauty and the natural treasures here so.....he went to the King....Rajah Humabon and they kinda.....buddy-buddied and Magellan has a cross in Cebu which you can still see.....in a church and Magellan gave Juana,Rajah Humabon's wife......a Santo Niño which is a statue of young Jesus.....anyways,Lapu-lapu was a Rajah of Mactan,Cebu and he refused Magellan's....Idk what offer it was but it had something to do with him having to pay taxes to Spaniards and converting to Christianity.......so he refused Magellan got angry blah blah blah then Lapu lapu prepared his poeple for battle......in which Magellan's army fought with swords and armors and all but Lapu lapu's army fought with arrows and itak which is like a sword or somethin'......Idk if there's an english word for it.....and Lapu lapu won blah blah blah Magellan was shot with an arrow on his knee and the arrows tips had poison so he fell on his knees and Lapu lapu took advantage of it and beheaded him....then his men saw and.....um chopped Magellan to peices......

Andres Bonifacio......he was the leader of KKK also known as Katipunan which is practically an army to fight against the  spaniards......he idolized Jose Rizal....the author of Noli me tangere and El filibusterismo......anyways,he was born poor and was orphaned at an early age so he had to raise himself and his little brother......he made some fans and a lot of other stuffs and sold them to earn money for him and his brothers and sometimes he got books and educated himself.

He fought with Emilio Aguinaldo for the position of being the first president of the Philippines......and he lost because Emilio cheated......and he was accused of treason and got killed with his brother in a mountain......

Jose Rizal....born and raised as a Princifalia(a rich Filipino)-He was very weak and sickly as a child....he grew up as the youngest(?) of 11 children......he had one older brother and the rest are sisters......he favored his brother because he always taught him a lot of stuff and he was favored by his parents.....at least I think so.......Okay so in school we were told to memorize his full name.....you're probably thinking.....just a name?Hah his full name is Dr.Jose Protacio Mercado Alonso y Realonda Rizal.......like who even has that long a name?Apparently,he does.

Anyways,he always loved reading and learning so brew up very smart......and when he was supposed to go to college his mother had cataract(?).....which is when something white blocks your vision and you can only see around it.So he wanted to become a doctor so he can cure his mother......and he was actually sent somewhere to study....deeming him an illustrado.....which means rich kids sent abroad just to study.......and when he went back he studied more and sh*t like that......then blah blah blah he wrote some kind of book about the Spaniards so he was arrested.....then he wrote Noli me tangere and El filibusterismo while in captivity.One day,Andres Bonifacio visited him and offered to let him escape but he refused.....blah blah blah he was executed.....by being shot while turning around.....it means that the person has committed treason if you're wondering why......and the last thing he did was cure his mom......or write Noli and El fili.......basically he fought the spaniards with knowledge and words.....

Gregorio del pilar.....the youngest General ever.....he helped the president escape in pasong tirad which he protected from Americans........it was a really green mountain and the Americans had no idea whow to get to them but a Filipino was there to help them,betraying his own country.And blah blah blah again.....Gregorio and the traitor fought and he said there are no traitors in Del pilar's army(?) and then his soldiers made him escape but he refused so they just gave him a horse and left him there on his request and.....he died......shot by an American.....how young is he?Well,he's I think 16 or something........just really young.......

I'll have a part 2 and 3
