My childhood, I remember myself being a little shy and quiet boy but gets hyper when people get to know me better. I was born as an only child, I'm a caesarean..in other words in Shakespeare's Macbeth "I was not born of man, I was ripped out of my mother's womb". And I have a mark of the scare same as my mother's, the scar on my lower stomach is not a wound but a mark...So whenever I look at it, it reminds me of where I was born. While my mom bares the scar on her lower stomach, whenever she shows it to me, it reminds me where i came from.
I before I turned 1, I stayed in brunei for one year where my parents took wonderful cute and playful and as well hilarious pictures of me! especially one was me so tiny and small...a size of a coke/pepsi bottle! and weight? really light! and look in contrast to me now! big and quite fat!
I remember growing up abit in philippines for 2 years (age 2 to 3, 1991 to 1992), where I enjoyed living with my uncles and aunts and also most of all my grandparents. I really enjoyed it, well despite their difficulty of what am I saying to them, like for example the movie Problem Child, I'd say it as Boochichi...So they're confused by my loosely speaking mispronounciations as a kid. My yeash, yes, nope and no were Yes way and no way. I also remember that I'm scared of Mcdonald's Mascots, where I was in a birthday party (which I don't know whose by the way)..I was scared by that weird purple monster!
Now after 2 years in philippines I moved to Brunei, back with my parents where I then now spent all my years in brunei. Where I studied in Sunshine for reception and kindy up to year 1. Great memories in sunshine (1993 to 1995/6), I was like I said a shy and quiet boy. I enjoyed sunshine, I had little friends! One I remember two girls (whom I met recently in past 2 years ago, one was still shorter than me and the other well I dunno changed alot?), I also remember some chinese faces during kindy and year 1 but barely recall them, and my best friends was my neighbor (who aren't my best friends today) and in school my childhood best friends were those two girls and a bruneian boy whom I can't remember well but I remember we had a heck load of fun! In kindy was slightly a bullyish kid, addicted to normal cartoons of the 90's garfield, little lulu, the old cartoon network's cartoons, power rangers, barney, tom and jerry, charlie brown, bugs bunny and co. cartoons and my first anime! Cha Cha and Ranma 1/2, also disney movies, and a heck loads of cartoons from cartoon network! And so after 3 years in Sunshine School, I moved to ISB where I stayed for almost my whole life in that school. By the way, my favorite books was those disney movies story books with pictures! And I was addicted to Michael Jackson before turning Jacko, also addicted to the backstreet boys songs and some oldies songs...also some 90's songs as well.
I'll talk about ISB in primary years up to early secondary years. 1995/6 to 2008...about 7 or 8 years in ISB. Primary year 2 to 6 was my favorite years! lots of freetime, books with pictures! very little homework! only got one detention just because of looking at a helicopter land and take off. I made so many friends! I could name some but it's just too many to mention! But today some of those friends are gone and I miss them...hopefully they remember me at least. I took dance lessons and Tae Kwan Do lessons, also keyboard lessons and japanese or chinese drawing club where I drew this siamese cat and i don't know where I put that picture. I joined lots of clubs you know! I took part in basketball also! This is also where I got addicted to pokemon and anime during these late years of primary and early years of secondary life. Secondary I took part in very little clubs because I wanted to take a break after school and I only joined like ESL clubs and some sports like squash...so yea as you can see I was quite fit. I loved books too, I borrowed lots of books in the Library. I read Goosebumps, Astrix, Animorphs, ESL books and many more! I'm still a bookworm as I am today!
So there you have it, those years was fun and I miss it. Now well life is going to change very much when entering university life. Social status separation i sense in philippine universities, likewise whose who in the popularity and fraternities which is I am not going to join those frats. They're unhonorable, they're not my way of life. And I won't even care a dime for popularity, popularity is biased and it's a virus! that's why favoritism must be banned in all cases as well popularity must go bye bye!
