“Enjoy life no matter how hard it may seem..when life gives you thousand reasons to cry ,show the world that you have million of reasons to smile..."

 

 

I was born on the 24th day of October, year 1996 at Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital. I’ve read on my mom’s diary that she gave birth to me  10 minutes before 10:00 at night.

 

I grew up in an environment where courteousness, fear in God, honesty and most of all-, integrity are very essential to our family. You bring “disgrace” or stain your surname or else the head of the family  disown you as her son or daughter. My dad was a very strict disciplinarian. I could still  remember how he make rules when I was a young kid (I guess I was 3 or 4  years old then). He lets me review..read my “Mona-Tiririt” or  “Abakada” book at 10 am to 1 pm then commands me to take a nap or rest after that reading or reviewing session. No watching TV. No playing outside. If you break that rule, you’d end up getting hit by a belt.  And that’s what I dread most. One time, brought by jealousy to other kids playing, I went outside our house to join them. Neither daddy nor mama was at home that time because they are on a business trip together so I escaped from my grandma who was sleeping at that time.

 

I played with the kids but when I heard the sound of a vehicle I am so familiar of-, our vehicle’s sound, I ran as fast as I could and went immediately in my room, close it’s door and act as if I was taking a nap or sleeping. Though I almost get caught up there, my parents never learned that I played with other kids that day-, the day when I felt like I was never an outcast and that I was still a kid-, I need to enjoy life.

 

Though my mom died when I was 5 years old, I was a consistent first honor since kindergarten to Grade five and graduated as Valedictorian when I was in grade 6.

 

I am-,at present studying at Ilocos Norte National High School-, Special Science Class. A 4th year high school who loves writing so much. I always excel in that field-,”writing Scripts, writing essays, features” and every time I think of that thought, I feel proud of myself but still with  my head down and my feet-,still reaching the ground.

 

I am weird. I prefer eating seafood ramen at daytime than buying a halo-halo or ice cream for refreshment. I love playing the piano. I’m learning to play the guitar. I love anime characters. I love Korean Artists :)

 

 “Understanding is better than knowledge. All people may know you, but very few understand you.” Some people hate me-,yes that’s a fact I can’t deny to myself. Some  judge me. They just know me by name but not by personality. I become so sensitive most of the time when I listen to what they say then, but that was then. Part of growing old is growing up through your actions, and I can say that I have grown-up because I don’t cry or even care about to what others say about me now.

 

I am an open-minded person, I accept healthy criticisms or feedbacks from others who want me to improve but I just can’t let  a person criticize  me in a wrong way just to destroy me. I smile and laugh with everybody but that doesn't mean, I trust all of them already. I am an easy to be with but not easy to get person. If a person wants to get close to me, he/she must put a lot of efforts and show me why I should really be friends with him/her.

“Someday I’ll be living in a bigger city. Someday, I’ll be big enough so no one could hit me. Someday….” -, this line from Taylor Swift’s song “Mean” became my inspiration in life.

I’ve talked too much and have shared a lot but what I can just say or advice as a teen is that you should learn to appreciate life. Live.Love.Laugh and find your refuge in God’s family.
