Aha!!! Oh its really nice to share and to remember the stories of my young years. I can't begin to write a blog if I start in the middle. so I'm also doing this for me to remind me of the good times and for my daughters to know the stories I neglected to tell them , I just hope that they can get something out of my stories and enjoy it too.When my two daughters who are the love of my life always now and forever were growing up I admit that I was not hands on with both of them because I was busy surviving the marriage and busy trying to make it work and that will be another chapter of my blog which my readers will be able to follow up
IN my day to day life now I can tell the difference, I see life differently when I was at my twenties.If a person really examines and remembers closely all her past experiences and the present with an open mind you will see that life is not boring at all and it's colorful, wonderful , exciting and it's constantly changing . I'm remembering the incidents in the past that also my parents shared with me coz i was too young to remember them and now alsoI'm trying to tell my daughters in this way the incidents that I neglected to tell them. Hmmmm !!!! let me see , MY mother told me of an incident that happened to me when i was a child i was run over by a bike because i was trying to get my little plate across of our house which my playmates took and that's how I got my scar in my knee that sad to say is still here although it's already fading but it told a story. Another incident was while my mother was sewing she said she used a bottled softdrinks to sharpen her scissors and just put the bottle on the floor beside her and continued sewing she didn't noticed that I took it and run to the stairs to hide so no one can see me and I drunk the the liquid inside the bottle but it was kerosine and immediately I collapsed and that's the only time she noticed me that I took the bottle and they rush me to the hospital ,but that drinking incident made me a sick child because it affected my lungs . The doctor told them to watch my health closely until 10 years old if I won't have a serious illness within those years I will be ok. With this incident of mine my parents specially my mom learned a lesson and that ever since she was really guarding me closely and she told me that incidents like this specially if the parents are there is surely the mother's look out . Would you agree to this? well my mom is right MY mother would say to me never take your eyes away from your kids coz a min might be fatal to them and watch your kids when your cooking, in the water, and when your gardening, and don't ever let go of them when you're in a public place. When you walk on the street always stay in the danger side .Hopefully my daughter can get something out of this story and watch her child closely specially now she is just learning new things.Watching your daughters and sons is not enough too, you have to askGod to protect them at all times.
Another incident happened in my ancestral home,I so love playing house and because I was a sickly child my mom was so choosy when it comes to my playmates I only have 2 friends that I'm allowed to bring to my home , its sally and narra we often played house and built it in the garden from scratch even though my mother really didn't like the view of her garden still she allowed us to play there. We cooked our own food like rice and fish with vinegar and salt and garlic ( inon-onan) when I ate the fish a big fish bone was stuck to my throat and they have to bring me again to the doctor because I can't swallow anymore and so the next time we played house we have our own maid to cook for us and was there to play with us but as a child we didn't like this secretly I pinch our maid so she will go away but she calls my mom and says" nang she is pinching me because she wants me to go away" ,but my mother said either she stays or no playing house for you. So just imagine an adult inside a small playhouse and a maid to do the cooking , I never told my friends at school about this because its embarrassing ha! ha! ha! and now I'm telling so that my daughters can get a good tip out of this incidents.A child would always think she can outsmart her parents but its only temporary ha ha ha. Tonsilitis is my favorite illness when i was a child my fever would go up to 40 and that's the reason I'm not allowed to eat salted fish but i always find a way so that i can eat my favorites, so i go out to my neighbbor's house and eat there , we call their house nipa hut because it's small , they eat rice corn and they always have salted fish for their lunch. and my parents were confused why I still get sick even if I'm not eating salted fish aha! that's what they didn't know but as they said we can't out smart our parents . One of the neighbors went to my mother to borrow money and she was trying to impress my mom that she was kind to me and and she was praising me like this," you know your youngest daughter is a good girl she doesn't mind our small nipa hut and the food we eat, I know she is not used to this kind of food but she really love to eat salted fish and my mother said aha! hmmmmm! so when the lady left and she was really thinking that the news was good for my mother but actually it wasn't, i really got a punishment for that I was asked to lay facing down and my father hit me with his belt and for a child it was so painful and I was so frightened and angry with my tatay and I said to myself when I get married I will be free I will really buy one big box of salted fsh , if I remember this it really tickles me and always put a smile in my face. it was for my own good I didn' t realize that .
I really love to dance and i was a member of the dance troupe in school since i was grade2 my favorite dance was hawaiian dance. And i was popular when it comes to this dance. It was a benefit show for 3 days in school . I have many numbers in hawaiian dance one of the number was the tahitian dance. While i was dancing i can feel my grassskirt becomes loose coz of my shaking the hips and i know it will drop down and if that happens they will see my bikini so i was already n grade 6 at that time and i was starting to show up as a teenager so as not to make it drop, i quickly turned around an still shaking my hips not knowing that at the back it's already open and they can see my bikini and my behind and the boys were whistling and shouting and just imagine all the spectators and my classmates was there and saw all this so i quickly exited and i really cried and cried and i promise d to myself i wont dance again, but my teacher went there to ask my parents to talk to me and calm me down at the end i still danced the 2nday and on that day i got audience approval and praises and applause and the show was still successful even on the 3rd day. I hope that like me i enjoyed remembering my incidents , HOW ABOUT YOU? DO U ALSO HAVE UNFORGETTABLE INCIDENTS U WANT TO SHARE? DONT FORGET TO FOLLOW ME UP.
