1st Part: My Autobiography- What God has done for me over the
years of my existence
Birth:
head). But 1 month before giving birth, ultrasound showed that that child rotated
180 degrees which made us safe to be delivered via normal spontaneous delivery.
The labor and delivery was successful and no complications happened. We can say
that my mother was already expert in labor and delivery because we were her 4 th
and 5th child. After 1 week, we were discharged.
Reflection: Truly the Lord does things that are for the best of his children. Even
before seeing the light, He already did a miracle to me by changing one of the twins
position to a more suitable one in order to prevent my mom to have a more hard
way through surgery. He never lets us experience suffering that we do not deserve.
It is why he deserves the Merciful title because He listens to everybodys prayers.
Faith: My faith experience is like a halo-halo. It taste sweet because there are a
lot of ingredients. I said this because I literally have 3 religions that I joined to. This
was how I came to each of them. My grandfather was a Baptist church pastor. In our
barangay, he himself built a Baptist church and became its very first pastor. Since
he was our grandfather, when we were a little bit older, it was in his church were we
went every Sunday where we listen and sing hymns and listen to Sunday School.
Another reason is that my parents were very busy even Sunday that is why we go
with our Auntie Letty who is, we can say, and avid fan of the Baptist church where
we got baptized as Christians. I cannot blame them. My father started as a jeepney
driver. So when they had the shot to be a little better in life, they took every
opportunity in order to raise us in the best way they know. So that happened since
toddlerhood to school-age.
Reflection:
No matter what religion you join in, the Lord has always a way to
make Himself known to you. Whether it be in the other Christian churches or in my
case in the Baptist and Seventh day Adventist Church, He makes sure that you
listen to the important lessons in life. Never judge and misinterpret each church.
Just follow what your heart says about faith and do it whole-heartedly.
Reflection:
mistake. Once you have made a choice, travel with it and live with it. Of course,
there will always be blocks in that choice. To get myself motivated, I never look to
them as hardships but instead make the most out of it and conquer them one by
one. If you have stumbled and fell, stand up again and make sure never make the
same mistake twice so that when you encounter the same thing, you would know
how to handle it well. For me, that is life.
First Home: Our first home was in 191 Tuliao, Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan. It is a 2storey building with 4 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, 3 comfort room. Its floor was on white
tiles. It was painted with a cream to dirty-white color. They said that it was my
grandfather who is knowledgeable in building house who designed the house. My
aunt, grandmother, and sisters, and our family each owned a room. It was there we
lived for 19 years. Despite this fact, I was never able to make a lot of friends
because we study in Mapandan and return there at night. So we never got the
chance to mingle with others. If ever we know that person, it was their face and not
their name. This was made worst when I entered the seminary. I only get the chance
to see our neighbors once a month. Others would even say that I am new in the
place not knowing that I have lived there longer than they did. Until last November
2014, the 2nd floor of our house burned. It was caused by the our neighbors house
on fire which affected ours too. My father decided to build our own and legit family
house in Mapandan, hometown of my mother, where they decided to spend the
rest of their lives. Right now, it is still in the making. Although I miss our old house
because we made a lot of memories there. I hope that we make more memories in
our new house.
The person I will be: 15 years from now, I will be a married man with a wife
with the said descriptions. I am also a good doctor who will be earning money to
give the best to my family every possible way I know. I should already bought a big
house for us and 2 cars parked in the garage, one for me, one for my wife. I wont
hire any maid so that my children will learn chores which I learned from our house. I
will also be attending mass every Sunday as much as possible or atleast every Holy
days of obligations every year and make sure that I will be with my family every
important occasions.
Children: As I said, 2 kids only, no more no less. I will teach them how my
parents taught me with few modifications. If I get a boy, then I send him to the
seminary. If I get a girl, I let my wife decide because she would know best. They will
be enrolled to the best schools if I have the money. They will get what they need
and be restrained sometimes from what they want. I will teach them to be thrifty
because money is earned hardly and to be down-to-earth people whoever or
however successful they will become.
Last will: Everything will be passed equally to whoever I will be leaving. No more
no less
