I put my moms picture twice in my Family website because she is really really important of who makes me who I am. The two photos have a different story being told. This first picture I will talk about my mom and I. This photo of me and my mom is when she is still in good contrition. As a daughter of my mom I think she is a really great mom. She raised me with kindness,sweetness, and having good manners like a princess inside and out. My mom is great person because she workers hard and does her best at everything she does maybe that is where I got it from wherever I go to school do my very best. She always gives all the things I need for school and for life to live like food, water, clothes, and educations. Moms are caring and loving. They are more loving and caring when their child gets sick they want to nurse them back to health. My mom is always puts me first. She answers the question who I am because without her love, care, kindness, and rising me like she did with my dad I might be not the person you guys see today I might be a totally different person.Since she raised me like she did I grown up as a brave, happy, cheerful person with a positive view in life. Therefore I wanted to thank her this way and many other with the same kindness and love she did to me.

This is the picture of my whole family well close to it anyone. My family is getting bigger and bigger that this picture but I really treasure this picture because this is the first time that I see family together in one place in a very long time. They just came un notice but I soon realize that they are all here at my house to watch the pacquiao fight we enjoy it, we had fun with my cousin’s babies, he won I think but I don’t remember and taken a lot of pictures. My Grandparents and my cousin kim shows me the negative side of life. Where there are full of problems, chacos, and stress happening in my life that is covered over my happy and friendly look. These obstacles above shows me that the world is taught and every problem and stress makes a person stronger and ready for the next ones that comes. To survive the taught world you have to stay positive in life no matter what happens. Not all of my family is negative like my cousin’s babies that makes me smile and not only that they make my fully book schedule of things to do on a hold. My family gets loud with happy and with misunderstanding that gets out of hand. These people and more that is not mentioned is the people that shows me to be not get into tied up knot that I can’t fixed myself but to say chill, stronger and calm that makes me who I am thanks to my parents guides.

This picture is about my cousin Kim Quero. He is what I thought my cousin who would help me whenever I ask, save, and protect me like a brother that I never had from anyone who would hurt me but instead he is the one hurting me my feelings that is and not really realizing it.So you better not get on his bad side. He said that he does really like attitude, late people, and most of all he said that “he is the worst person that you would ever met.” But all in all if he is surrounded by the people he loved or feel at peace with no stress I think he is the person that I know that I treat like my brother. He is actually funny, cool, sweet, and a good person inside of that cold mean, rude, and impatient exter american self he is. That is why he is so important to me because when I was young he was so nice, kind, and the coolest person in my little young eyes that develop a closeness but now that closeness is gone to a very little closest. That now in my eyes he is just my cousin since I saw his dark side. which is mean, not thankful, to the people that helped him and only say sorry but don’t really mean it because he needed something from you :( To add on to that he blames me for anything of his fault that I have nothing to do with. His special quote is “Am I going to die” No, but you should not touch somethings that is not yours and also not opening them. Since that is the reason why you got mad at me for. There is always a downside of helping and not helping him. The helping him and telling that he should be being nice to me and gets a thank you but later on, being hurt by what he is saying or doing or being curse at (saying the F and S words). He answers the question who am I because he is the reason why I feel like a have a sibling that am not just an only child that is spoiled but I have to share and still well taken care of my parents. Without him I don’t know how to take care of somebody and won’t have the title of YaYa(maid). Sometimes though too much. Taking care and sharing my things with him. Even though that all my life I’ve been nice and kind to him. :( Also people make mistakes and what happen to me today (12-15-14) is a great example of how my trust and relationship to my Cousin comes back to this brother and sister status. What happen is that we take the bus at night for the first time and it is also raining. We got lost because I don’t know what I was doing and didn’t hear. Also I took the wrong turn and that made me lost. He got mad at me like a normal person would if you're stuck in a place that is dark and raining. But he help me get through this, he stuck by my side, use an act of kindness, and find our way back home. That is the care and love that I was look for my Kuya. He finally he regain my forgiveness. The long walk and understanding of what happen to us today makes change me and enhance of who I am today while still being true to myself. :) Thank you Kuya for helping find our way back home.

This picture is in titled my aunts and my mom because they are all like my mom when my real mom is not able to do her role in the family. They are important to me because they are like I said my moms who cook, care, and love me. They shape me who I am now because I am more grateful of what moms do in general. They work hard to earn money but at some time have a year long with no pay being as a mom to us. Even though they are tired or busy they still give me their time and gives me what I needed even though I am not their child but niece and have their own children to take care of. That is why my aunts are so important to me. One of my aunts is so important to me she is really like my mom because she is with me since I was young and the mom of my cousin Kim. Her name is Melo jean Quero and she is the one wearing red next to my mom on the right. I call her mommy jean-jean since that is what I grown up with calling her in short I call her mommy. I call her mommy and my other aunts by their first name with the title Tita because I don’t have a deep connection with them like mommy is. She also use her time to do and handle all my moms papers works but also drop me off to school with that picks me up if I have a check up at the dentist or orthodontist. Even though she was so many things to do for herself like her own paper work. My grandma is also important to me because she cooks our food for the whole family, shops for recipes she would cook next, and doesn’t sleep until she finished or prepare what she is cooking for an event like our birthdays or some event at church. She tries hard at what she does like my mom and now me. These are the woman important in my life that answer question of who am I strong, brave, thankful, and most of loved. Even though they are not in the picture they have value in my hearts. And grateful to have them in my life that makes me who I am today.

I will be talking about me and my mom going back to the Philippines, to my personal story that is not to reveled but to share a piece of it. My story starts when my mom is still very healthy before she have known she have ….( that sickness). We went back to the Philippines in July so that my mom and dad would get married. I said to them that they had me first and 12 years later got married. Since we went back to the Philippines in July moments (days) later I had my birthday but before all that I still remember how this date is so important to any family because my parents are finally getting married after a long time. But it is important to me because the preparations of my mom and dad wedding ring is less expensive that my ruby jewelry set. My mom actually said “Your jewelry set is more expensive than their wedding ring” and my birthday is bigger that her special day. They gotten a civil wedding and gotten an reception but for some reason my mood change. In short I was not smiling in my happy cheerful way that made my mom sad on my parents special day.This makes me sad now that why did I do that to my parents on their special day. I wouldn’t have known my 13th birthday would be happy by having fun with my family, but also losing my friends along the way by not fully knowing where that location of my party is, since this is the first time of my life to celebrate in a restaurant that I didn’t care if I was too old to have a birthday party there if I haven’t experience it, and really appreciate everything they did for me and the making the most remember moment ever that would last me a life time remembering of how my parents are so awesome. The picture you see is the day of my mom’s birthday and this is my way of giving back to her from the special moment that she has given me on my 13 birthday. She looked so happy on her birthday being able to go home in all with us and this picture is so touching to me because this is the first time that I see my mom smile so purely again in a very long time ever since she is sick. Me and my dad is smiling too that is why is picture is so important to me that make this day so happy and makes a good lasting memories of our journey starting the day when my parents gotten married.

My parents are great they give me love, happiest, care, and passion. No wonder I am such a happy and cheerful person. They give me love that fills my day before I go to school where the same but different love is fill. At school my friends fill me up for the rest of the day and I'm thankful for all them. For keeping my world full of happiest despite the challenges that my family is facing that my whole family is affected. My friends just don't give me love but they give me support also and anything I would need to make my life more happier and more stress free. Also my family doesn't give all the things that fill my heart and happy meter up. They also give me all I needed, food, clothes, and even matles items I wanted. Thank you for all the support, love, and care you give me. You have rises me well even though I am a bit of a hand full I still love you guys my parents thank you. A quote of what my dad would say at this time which is 12:38 am is " Go to sleep" in your language.
