My History
well i don't think there's too much about
me u would like 2 know. i was born on feb 11, 1978. yes, i am
half crazy but also half genius. hehehe!!! i went to St. Anthony
Learning Center (now School of St. Anthony) from prep to
grade 6. it was okey lang. i was fat then. as if i wasn't as fat
now!!! then i worked my was to UST hight school. a lot of good
times. my life changed a lot since then. there was much realization.
u know, really dramatic stuff!!!???? : (
i learned guitar, alcohol, girls, electronics, philsophy, and animal/human psychology in my spare time. i remeber just lying in my bed (i lived in a dark hole in my Lola's old house. nice and damp.) and just thinking for hours. no, i am not as lazy as u think. i try to analyze theories and principles of god, buddhism, communism, christianity, islam, existentalism, materialism, evolution, the relation of human to animal behavior in society, eraseheads, tin, 'kada, and just plain diss all those shitty people in politcs sometimes. and i was just 15 then. i think i have all this cynicism beacuse i fried my little 10-year-old-brain when i read all those encyclopedias back home (my parent's place). but with all of this i think i am a better person(?) now(?).
college was okey too. and it
still is. i took up ECE at UST. but i got kicked out. i still
can't figure out if it was a blessing or a curse. i think it was
both. then i found myself at AMACC fairview. i think most of the
people there are ignorant. maybe it's just me. but with all this
i still learned much from the "educational system" that
AMA sells.
enough with me. let's talk family.
i was born the third of four. CHERYL,
the eldest, is now married to Norvel Rodrigo. my ate studied at
siena college qc and took up AB Psych. she also worked there for
a while. they have 3 children, Nicco, Carmela, and Kats (my cute
inaanak). POPO, my bro, is also married na. idol ko siya k'si
he went to the seminary. kaya lang he wasn't able to finish it.
and he's heck smart!! (like my tatay and me hehehe!!!) when he
left don bosco and san carlos seminaries he took up SPED at UP.
RJ, the youngest, passed away in '99. she was 20. i'd rather not
talk about it. but what i can say is that she was the greatest
cook in the whole world. we miss her.
my ROMY and LUDY were both from
bataan. tatay is an architect/marine engineer. he worked (or should
i say, slaved) at DBP makati. he's much more pessimistic and cynical
than me. but i still look up to him as a great role model. nanay,
on the other hand, was the ultimate mother figure. i think she
is the greatest example of a mom. i'd bet my life on it. the patience,
faith, resilience, and love she has shown truly proves that god
exists in the world. she is my inspiration.
daddy LINO and mommy PINING are my mom's parents. grabe!! how should i put it. these 2 people have given me soo much. lolo brought me up in a most techical mind-set. it is from him i learned critical thinking and analysis, and alcohol. my lola on the other hand has always supported the financial aspect of my life. hindi lang naman sa akin. pati sa kuya ko chaka sa ate ko. at sometimes pati nanay ko.
i haven't been close with may dad's parents. very conservative kasi. very diciplinarian like my dad.
at present, (dec 2001), we've
been together for a year and 4 months. it's bee really great and
i'd like so much to keep it that way.
This
is Boots. she is my girlfriend. i don't really know what
to write for/about her. she' s much more of an experience rather
than something i can fully explain. but maybe it's the right time for me to let her know how much she has changed me. i felt a need to be with someone, and she let's me be that way. but at the same time she lets me be by myself. and for a woman to allow a certain "space of respect" to exist between she & her man is a great priviledge. i feel so lucky to be loved. and sometimes i just do not know how to show her that i'd live (and die) for her. but above all, she remained a true friend to me. and for that she will forever have my frienship and love.
