My life began at 6:34 am on the fateful day of March 5th.. The third and the only girl on the brod of three..
For most part of my childhood, everything went well.. I was an honor student, (well for most part anyway), a doting daughter and a very lively girl.. A grandmothers and also a grandfathers pet.. Was the life of any party, dancing and singing to any tune that i know..
I grew up in a small town known to only a few people.. A very peaceful, wonderful, picturesque place just under the foot of the sierra madre mountain ranges.. Full of trees, fresh air, chirping birds and crickets at night. Its just a wonderful place to be, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.. It's like you've been transported to another place..
Growing up for me was challenging.. although you dont have to prove anything yet, i still have to struggle to gain the respect of the people around me.. Fortunalely, i succeeded (only for the time being anyway), i was acknowledged by the people i know.. It was kinda hard but i was enjoying every second of it.. It was rewarding and i really liked it.. I was blessed to to do the things that a child would have done.. Playing until your mother yells at you to go home, eat any food i wished, run around the neighborhood with just my panties with ruffles at the back with an air of innocence and play under the rain, screaming and shouting at each other till our throat hurts and have hoarse voices.. I miss those times.. Where you were carefree and have no big problems that burdens you, the times when all you have to do is wake up go to school, go home. do your homework and after that play until your body hurts then sleep again and do the same routine over and over again, and your not complaining, not unless someone pushes you to sleep in the afternoons and tell you that if you take a nap, you'll grow much taller (how i wish this was true), but who cares, all we want at that time was to play until we smell like sweat, dirt and the sun.. I could still remember the time when i would eat "balot" 6 at a time, beat that, and if thats not enough put in some "penoy" and "abnoy".. and you'll get an highblood pressure (well, that is at our age right now).
