My Reasons to Exist

There are a lot of factors that helped me and are helping me to become who I am today. Some of these are really special to me because they are unforgettable and unfathomable. They have the ability to give love, support and care in an unexpected way, they are called family.

Our not so ordinary family is consisting of five members. Yeah, five! Just like a squad of Power Rangers. Like every group such as Voltes V we also have a leader, and that is my father.

He is a very industrious, hard-working, caring, and unselfish dad. He chose to sacrifice in order to sustain our needs. Every time that he will be coming back, our home becomes livelier. He’ll teach me how to drive and we will go to distant places. He always leave something that makes us miss him, that’s why I want to finish my studies and find a job so that he wouldn’t work anymore.

When my father is still in overseas, I become a lone boy in our house. I am left with these three unpredictable ladies – my younger sister, elder sister and my mother. Each one of them make my days complete even though we are always giving punches (not literally) when we are talking to each other.  

My younger sister is only 12 years old but she seems to be older than me, because she will always give commands and demands to me forgetting that I am 4 years older than her. Sometimes, she will be mad when I interrupt her while playing mobile legends or watching k-pop videos.

       Meanwhile, my elder sister is somehow a combination of my younger sister and my mom. She often gives orders as if she can’t do it but I know that she is just tired of working. Despite of that, she is a responsible adult now. She allocates her profit to the house payments, to my mom and for us as an allowance. And due to that I’m glad that my mother’s payments are lessening somehow.

Speaking of my mother, my mom is the most loving person I ever met. She gives us love in mysterious ways. She doesn’t usually say I love you but she corrects us whenever we are committing mistakes. For me, she is the best teacher in the world. Discipline 101, Advanced Manners and ethics and Principles of Home Economics are some of the lessons that she taught us.

In spite of their drastically changing moods, I will always care for them because they are the queens of my life.

Beside from my biological family, there is another family that built my personality. They are not my relatives but made me feel that we have the same blood. They are often referred to treasures, allies, partners in crime, but they are known as friends.

        Let me showcase these four first, Rev, Kynn, Fred and Vin. They are part of my life since elementary until now. We have gone through a lot of hard times. But most of the time we share on millions of laughter. They seems to be my brothers since I don’t have one.

             If I have these brothers, I also have my friends which I considered as my sisters. These two queen sisters of mine are casting a name of Liz and Lene. They helped me a lot in school and always reminds me to don’t hurt anyone’s feeling. Whenever I have done something wrong, they confront me and explain it to me. They also helped me understand girls in different perspectives. They are my guidance counselor and consultant whenever I’m in trouble.

Currently, I am with these friends I met at STI. We share common interests like studying, jamming, dancing, commemorating jokes that have died and eating tons of carbs.

      Actually there are lots of friends that I want to mention here because they have contributed a thousand reasons why I reached this stage in my life. And I think they know who they are.

After all these things, I discovered that I have so many names on my list to go on and face my life’s journey. They serves as the persons that I want to dedicate my goals with once I attained it. If I haven’t met them, my life will just be a sheet of plain white paper or a dictionary without meanings inside it and I thank God that he blessed me to have them. I know that they may leave but they will leave unforgettable for me.
