Reminiscing the PAST!

First of all, I just want to share that I am happy right now because I am home... This reminds me of the times when I was still a kid, I am always alone at home.=(

When I was young, I am always doing things on my own, I grew up to be independent because I can't depend on someone, that they are always there to assist me. I can still remember the times when I was in the first grade, my mom would bring me to school and see that I am seated on my seat and then she will go to her office. And when I will look out of the window, I see no one. Not even her shadow can be found. I would cry and my classmates would look at me as if I am an abnormal child, but some of them would just tell me that she will be right back or she just went in the canteen. My teacher will tell me everything she knows that would console me, just like "nagbuy lang ice cream si nanay mo, mabalik man na siya karon...sulod na di kag mag copy." I will obey her and ginapasalig akon bu-ot na mabalik siya. I will copy notes from the board and get it checked by my teacher, then ask if my mom returned. I was the cry baby of the room. It's as if it is my routine everyday, look at the window and find out she's gone, cry, copy notes,wait... Until I got immuned by the feeling and accept that she can't be with me always.

A little history of the past...

My family came from nothing, we came from rags. I can't say that right now we are rich, I can just say we are blessed because of hardwork and perseverance and of course because of PRAYER,DEVOTIONS and ANGELS. People will tease me of being the "Avon girl" but they don't know that it is the source of income of my family. It is the one that pulled us up and give us financial support.

My dad was once a mechanic, that's why I love cars! He can assemble cars for drag race, that's why when I have a job, I'll buy an old model of Lancer (Mitsubishi) and let him manipulate the machine to be a drag race car! hehe... My mom is a plain housewife then, but since she has dreams for us to "makapagtapos ng pag-aaral" and "indi niyo ma agyan ang na agyan namon sa kapigadohon, tanan amon antuson, para sa inyo", so my mom can't take it anymore, tried anything to make money, until she joined AVON. Right now, she's harvesting the fruits of her labors... My parents now have a doctor, CPA, future chem eng'r and of course a future pharmacist! Nyahaha..

enough...

Past is past, we need to move on, but we need the past to let us remember where we came from... The only thing that my parents' can give us are: their love, support, faith in God, prayer and devotion, the values and the close family tie we have... and to live with God in the center of our lives is the greatest thing ever...=)
