15 years ago, i came bounding into a world of love and laughter. So, it also took 15 years to create who and what I am today. Within these years, I was guided by my ever loving grandfather towards a life that was close to perfect. I grew up believing with the power of love and hope which strengthened my spiritual faith, managed my emotional needs, and developed my social interactions. All because of my extremely super granny, whom i can consider a living hero of my life.
Everytime i lie in my bed, trying to think about the future and letting myself believe that everything will come to an end, I always cry in a corner, remembering my grandfather. I cant deny the fact that someday somehow, he would leave me. He never wanted though, we just really cant avoid that all of us will come to an end. Sooner or later, we can never experience anymore the moments that we've shared together. Instead, it will just be reminisced and be remembered. The stories he narrated happily to me will just be memories. The smiles and the laughters will just be imaginary photography downloaded into my heart and mind. The words of love and pieces of advices will just be imaginary recorded audio tape which will be replayed million times into my ears. But these things will stay forever and let us bond together when the day will come that he will be gone.
Ill stay as his princess, and he will always be my superman. By this time, that his still with me and giving the best of him, Ill never waste any single second, Ill cherish every moment and love him the way i should be.

Less Care, Less Love; Given to Filipino Children (A Letter to the President)
To the respected President of the Eastern Pearl beloved mother Philippines, President Benigno "noynoy" Aquino, Greetings Sir!
I am a Filipino Youth and a native Ilocana. Respectfully blogging my thoughts about what my naked eyes see around me. Let me share some of my stories. Theres this church somewhere in Ilocos where i used to attend mass every sunday. I always encounter a little boy who i think is a beggar. His clothes were rugged and tattered and his slippers were already over-used and its already unable to be weared. Mud all over his feet and only by looking into his young eyes, i can see the burden inside him. Whenever he sees me, he used to call me "Manang bassit nga nakabrace!" or in english "small lad with braces!" then im also used to look back at him because i know that im the one he is calling for. He always smile at me then run away. Then one sunday, I met him again, he again called me the way he used to. He tried to run away but i held his hand. I tried to talk to him. I asked him whats his name, he replied "Amboy". If how old is he, he said 9. I also asked him if where were his parents, he said that he only have his mother who he calls "nanang". His father passed away 6 years from now. I asked him if what is he doing at the church, he said the he is helping his mother to earn money for their daily living. In short, "begging". At his young age he should be learning at school now and not trying to work finding ways to live. He should not be wearing tattered and rugged clothes, over-used slippers but rather a nice school uniform and shoes. He should not be using his eyes, his hands, and his ears by begging but rather reading, listening and holding a pencil while writing. I really pity this little boy, while comparing my self to him. If how lucky am i to have both mother and father. Using presentable clothes and entering a school.
Its really hard to accept the fact that some or mostly of the filipino children are just like him. Working at a young age and no education at all. If we really think about this, we can never really say that Philippines is progressing. If only this children were given the right love ang care that they must feel and have, then maybe it will be eassier for us to tell the our country is already moving forward.
Well, this filipino children are the next filipino youth that will serve as the new hope of the country. I know Sir that you are doing your very best and giving your efforts to help every filipino citizen. I just hope that maybe, just maybe, Ill never see again a little child begging around but rather entering a school. I idolize you and the Aquino Family. More powers! Thank You Sir!
