It was June 12, 2010 and i was with my college friends at Eastwood City. We were waiting for the most awaited celebration of Independence day. There will be fireworks and singing, then suddenly the sky was filled with colorful fireworks. Suddenly, i felt different seeing my friends with me in gay, standing tall at the ground and having all the things i needed in life just enough to survive. On that moment of my life i found answers i was looking for for days and that's what I'm gonna share today.
I grew up at a town called Cabugao in Ilocos Sur with dad and grand mom. My mom was abroad for work and my two sisters were studying in Manila for College. Even though my family was not completely physical with me, distance was not a problem although emotionally I badly missed them. I was born with a family who's hearts are very pure and loving. We were known at our town so i guess i received lots of love from all. Plus, i was the youngest in our family that's why all our relatives were all eyes in me as i grew up.
when i was a kid i felt blessed on the things i was a able to receive. Ability to sing, intelligence, kind heart and a happy behavior that made my childhood days close to perfect if not perfect.i guess, i got my singing prowess at my moms side. I still remember since i started schooling on a school were my grandmothers are the boss, i got the chance to expose my talents and since then i was able to improve it and showcase them in every program. I started performing when i was 3 and it continued till i got high school. My grandparent's were also teachers and it must have been the root of my intelligence. My parent's are very lovely too, that i believe i got inherited from them my ability to be with friends with all. i was, i believe a good kid that i seldom get fights with my friends. They say I'm very kind hearted and considerate for almost everything. The blood that i have is the reason for all the things I have and I am today.
In my journey in life, i have met a lot of people mostly Filipino's and they have managed to catch my heart. They were my strength and happiness when I'm out from home. I feel like they are my second family. We share different kinds of commonalities. Our love for food, clothes, music, entertainments and not to mention boys. I am so lucky for having them always at my side and honestly i can tell that they really helped me a lot on not only my problems but my life holistically. I'm grateful, they are Filipinos because all we know, Filipinos have great personalities and i found all those with them.
Schooling was also one the best thing that happened in my life. With it, i was able get smarter everyday. All my teachers were superb in different ways. They have different personalities but all of them have a unique touch that made them straight to my heart. I mean for some people, studying is boring and a waste of time. i also think that way before but because my teachers since pre school were very industrious and loving to all their students i was able to understand the treasures behind it. From then, i started to love sitting on my chairs while lectures are being done. i look forward to days where i will get to enter on my favorite teachers class. What i really like from them is not only that they share knowledge with us, but they share us wisdom too that makes me inspire a lot. i have learned a lot life experience because of them. Now, I'm a fourth year nursing student at St.Lukes College of Nursing, Trinity University of Asia and my teachers helped me to realize my dream. I mean, i wasn't into nursing before but as i started listening to wonders of human body everyday i found the best place for me to grow up. My school helped me to reach out for my dreams and in the future achieve my personal legend.
I believe not being born here in the Philippines and not being a Filipino would make it possible to achieve, meet, have, and acquire all the things i have now. That's the answer i was looking for. Could there be other reason why i am proud to be and love being a Filipino? i guess none. My family, friends, teachers, the blood running to me and all the Filipino characteristics i got surely swept it all! I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO!
