About Me
Hey everyone, it’s finally that time for me to write my biography. I want you guys to get to know me and where I came from and what I am all about. I want to tell you guys about my struggles in the past and experiences I have been through to make me the strong woman that I am right now. First off, I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines on December 4. My mother came to America when I was 6 months old and left me with my grandma’s sister. I stayed at my grandma’s sister’s house from 6 months old until I was like 12 yrs. Old. My father was also young and still trying to get his life straight t so he was not able to take care of me at the moment. My mom couldn’t have picked a better family to leave me to. They treated me like their own and made me a part of their family. Until this day,I call them Mom and Dad and feel like I owe them the world. But what I went through those years is unbelievable. I can’t even tell the story without
getting real emotional. My family hired a live inhousekeeper and babysitter. To have a housemaid in the Philippines is a common thing. Nowadays, a housekeeper makes about 40 American dollars and they do everything for you from cooking to washing your clothes to answering the phone calls, etc. Anyways, back to the story, they hired a live in nanny and housekeeper to take care of me since my mom owned a dress shop and was always at work and my dad had a full time job as well. It was just always me and the babysitter at home all day long. The babysitter/housekeeper’s name is Mila. I will never forget that name. This lady tortured me like I was a dog. Don’t forget, I was like 3 or 4 yrs. Old when she started taking care of me and the whole time she treated me bad. One incident, she was giving me a bath and told me not to play with the water. I was a little girl so of course I didn’t listen. When she got back and saw that I spilled some of the water in this bucket, she made me eat this bar of soap. It was a blue laundry bar soap called Ajax and believe it or not, I can still remember to this day what it tasted like. That is just one of the many cruel things she did to me. Another incident is every time she would feel like it or be in a bad mood, she would make me kneel on rock salt and mungo beans (not sure if you guys are familiar with that), but it’s little tiny beans, for hours at a time with two books on each hand until someone came home. Whenever she hears my family coming home she would tell me to get up and wipe my tears. She always threatened me that if I mentioned anything to anyone that she will kill me. I was a little girls and I was scared to death of this lady. It was just always me and her at home all day everyday so I never told anyone. Another thing she used to do to me was put me in a sack(rice sack) and drag me outside by the river (we lived beside the river) and dangle me while inside the sack to try to scare me. This lady was Psycho and no one even knew it. She didn’t even know when her birthday was. She is also the reason I HATE MILK. The only cereal I can eat is cocoa puffs because it turns the milk in to chocolate milk. She used to make me drink big glasses of milk every single day and I hated it. I don’t drink milk now and I don’t even want to try it. Yuck! Also, I couldn’t stop brushing my teeth until it starts bleeding. She said I can stop when it starts bleeding because that’s an indication that it’s clean. I also hate cauliflower now because she used to make me sit at the table for hours and hours until I finished it all. I don’t really know if she had good intentions or not but she was definitely crazy. I also couldn’t get out of bed until it was noon and I had to be in bed by seven. She just thought she was my mother and my family trusted her because in front of them she was the perfect babysitter that loved me so much. If they only knew what was really going on while they weren’t home. My dad finally got his life together and joined the Navy and started coming around more. But the babysitter did not like that. She did not want me to have any time alone with my dad because she was afraid I would tell on her. Finally one day , my older brother was changing my shirt and noticed bruised pinch marks all over my body. That is when the truth finally came out about Mila the Wicked Psycho babysitter. I think I was about 10 years old then so It was going on for a long time. She was fired and kicked out of the house the same day and the weird thing was even though this lady abused me, I still cried when she left because I spent most of my childhood with her and I didn’t know any better. Have you guys ever read that book “A Child Called It� Well, when I read it, it reminded me of my life story. To everyone that haven’t read it, I highly recommend it. I know that was really depressing right, well, it was a big part of my life and I believe it is what makes me who I am now and it is what makes me try even harder to make my life better, to make myself a better person, and to learn from my parent’s mistakes so I do not repeat it for myself.Ok, enough sad stuff for a while. My dad finally came and got me from my Mom’s house. I know all that is probably confusing to you guys, huh. Ok, my real mom, was in Chicago. My dad just joined the navy and my mom and dad that took care of me was the ones I lived with for like 12 yrs. Makes sense? I hope. So I had 2 dads and 2 moms. Ok, my real dad came and got me from my mom and dad that raised me’s house when I was 12. It was so sad because to me they were my parents and family and I didn’t know anything else. It was hard on them when I left too, and it was a big change for everyone. It was then when I came to America. We moved from the Philippines to Daly City, California. I went to a catholic school there where we had to wear uniforms and everyone in the school was Filipino. It was a stage where I was trying to find myself. I was a FOB,lol. It was a big difference culture wise between being in the Philippines and being in California. I was just trying to fit in. I would copy the other girls on how they talked and how they dressed and how they did their hair because it was so different from how we did it in the Philippines. Then I started getting used to my environment and starting to fit in more.After living one year in Daly City, we moved to Hampton Virginia. We lived in a little apartment in the hood. I am not exaggerating, it was a really bad neighborhood, but we managed. In Virginia is where I fell in love the first time(hey what do u say, Virginia is for lovers, right),got in fights, got my first job(Philly cheese steak at the mall),got my heart broken, made friends, lost friends, graduated from high school (which by the way is the same high
school Allen Iverson went to), got my first car (Honda civic), and lost someone very dear to me, my grandmother. I lived with my dad (which acted as both my dad and mom because of my mom’s absence), my step mom , and my 2 brothers. A little after I graduated from High School, I moved with my ex-boyfriend to Florida. He was my first love and childhood love. It did not work out between us when we lived together so I moved down to Panama City with my Older brother. My brother then moved to Oklahoma City and I wanted to stay in Florida so I moved to Tampa. My whole life , I probably saw my Mom 5 times if that. She was busy living her new life with her new family. She had a new husband and a new daughter. Her life was perfect. She would come visit once in a while when she had a chance. One time she sent me a ticket to come visit her for Thanksgiving. I was so happy and excited because me and my mother will finally have a mother and daughter relationship. I came to see her for thanksgiving and it was great. We weren’t really that comfortable with each other because we never really got a chance to know each other and I knew that it was normal and it would take time. I knew that we wouldn’t be really close right away and we needed to spend more time to get real comfy with each other. After thanksgiving, I went back home to Virginia, and she sent me a birthday card for my birthday with 200 dollars in it. I was so happy. I called her to thank her. After that, I called her on Christmas to tell her that her present is in the mail already and she said that it wont be necessary. The present never even got to her in time because she passed away a couple of days after I talked to her. I came over her house for the funeral to gather her belongings and the present was still there unopened. The hope I had of us having a relationship went down the drain. Losing my mom and grandma was tough for me. It still affects me now whenever I think about it. Now, I am still in Tampa Florida Pursuing my bachelor’s degree and modeling career. My past has made me realize a lot of thing about life. It made me realize that I don’t ever want to get a divorce because It really affects the kids the most. If I am going to get married, I want it to be with the right person and the perfect person for me. I don’t want my kids to go through the same childhood as I did. I want a complete family, one that I didn’t have growing up. I want to be able to provide for them and be there for them every step of the way. My past has made me stronger and made me realize that if I went through all that and survived it all, there is nothing in this world I cannot do. Sorry for the depressing bio, just wanted a little inside scoop of the real me , my past and the reasons why I am the way I am.. For the future, after I get my business degree (which will be real soon), I am going to concentrate on opening my own business, maybe a restaurant franchise in the Philippines or a clothing store. I also see my self in the next 10 years having a family of my own and being a successful entrepreneur. LETâ€S WAIT AND SEE!!! TO BE CONTINUED!!!EXTRA INFO:
