..my family..

I'm an Ilocana. Native for that most likely.
I was born in Baguio, grew up in Abra, I stayed there till Highschool..
Then in college, I moved to Baguio for my studies in SLU.
And now, I've been living here in Manila.

I grew up with the typical, traditional family.
Close ties, but sort of not really,
Because majority of relatives on the Father side,
Have migrated in the states.

Where do I start..
I'm the youngest of SIX children in the family.
From.. Roxanne, Rainy, Spring, Winnee, Summer and Cloudy.
You may call Roxanne as Sun,
Winnee as Win or Wind...
And me as Cloudz...

As a kid, I was playful..
Proofs, are my scars in the knee, and anywhere else (Sssshhh)..
I've been tagged as "maarte", "isnabera"
I liked wearing pairs..
If it's red, then everything on me is red, top to bottom..
If it's pink, then pink it is.

I was sort of, studious back in elementary, highschool, I guess, a bit in college too...
I've always been on the top ranks (haha, kapal!!!!!)
But really, I wasn't a lazy student, I always wanted to do good with my studies.
Believe it or not, I've experienced gaining Academic Scholarship during college,
Due to being the #7 in the Dean's List of the whole College of Accountancy and Commerce..
In Elementary, I was just the 2nd Honorable Mention Awardee (4th yun, pinaganda lng, hehe), but in HS, medyo, napariwara??? kidding, transferred to different schools..
so ended up, being one of upper ranked students, but, cannot be awarded to be an honor, because, I was a transferee.

But it's all okay. I enjoyed that. I had friends from different schools. =)

As a cousin, well, competition will always be there,
Especially if you all belong in the same age bracket..
Good thing is, it was a healthy competition..
Look at us now, we're all graduates..

Yeng is a registered nurse,
Kaye has graduated, and will be taking her CPA review by November..
I graduated with a Management course, ended up as an Associate Software Engineer
The difference is, they both have kids now..
They left me single .. :)
Ooopps, Yeng hasn't gotten married yet.

Anyway, I'd like to show you some of the pictures with my family..
Cousins, parents, sisters (minus my brothers), pamangkins too..

Also a picture of our farm (though not seen)
It's our little kubo, located in the farm, (I partly own? haha)
...

Unfortunately, don't have yet the pictures of our new little angels in the family..
I'd post them later, including, those taken during my cousin's wedding. =)
