"PRECILLA!"
There comes a time in every person's life where everything you fight for fades away in just one blink of an eye
"Prisha"
A time where everything seems wrong and everything feels hurtful
"Performing C.P.R"
When life feels so cruel, wicked, and evil that it can't even make you smile the last time
"Anak ko"
"My daughter"
When you tried everything just to fight and keep fighting but everything just seem to not be enough for you to keep on going
"Revive her doc!"
Life
Four simple words but is really important to each and every one
It is full of surprises, excitement, good, and bad times
Life for me is not just breathing and doing my responsibilities but it also is the reason to meet everyone that I really love
I'm Precilla Lihe Rosaldo
And this is my story
---------
"Precilla!"
Hi, I'm Precilla and I'm a model
"Tapos ka na ba'ng mag-princess princess diyan?"
"Are you done playing princess, honey?"
That is my mom, she helps me and supports me in everything I do
"MARIA!"
Maria Kristella Avenido
Who is she?, you may ask
Maria Kristella Avenido, a strong, courageous, beautiful, gorgeous, deligent, and courteous woman
She raised a pretty good and nice kid, and love her more than herself
She's so selfless that sometimes she forgets about treating herself
She does everything just to make her daugther happy
She always does
Her daugther is very lucky to have an amazing mother like her
In short, I am so lucky to have a mother who is Maria Kristella Avenido
"Maria, guests will come here tonight, can you cook?" said Ms.Salvo
Ms.Salvo is an old single lady and she lives on her own
Well, she's alone with us
She has five children which makes her a single mom and that made me proud for her
She raised her children alone without any help of her husband
Her husband left her even before she hired mom as her personal maid
It's really nice of her to let us stay here with her
My mom has been really loyal to her and is working and serving her for seven years now
"Prisha, dito ka sa tabi ko"
"Prisha, stay here with me"
I sat beside Ms. Salvo just like what she demanded me
She's like a grandmother to me and she's been really kind to both me and mom
"Pupunta dito ang mga anak ko mamaya hija, may apo akong kasing edad mo, play with him okay?"
"My children will come later, I have a grandson that's same age as you, play with him okay?"
A new playmate?
This is the first time that I'll be excited in Ms. Salvo's party
I do get excited from her previous parties but this time, I'll have a playmate and I will not only be talking to adults
The night has come and some of Ms. Salvo's sons and daugthers have arrived
Some of her friends came too but they're only adults and they didn't bring any child
"Oh my god, mare" an old woman went close to Ms. Salvo
They hugged each other and kissed each others cheeks
[ Author : Mare is what elderly people call their Female Friends. ]
The woman's husband arrived and also greeted Ms. Salvo
"Who do we have here?" the woman asked
She looked at me so I smiled at her and she gave it back to me
"Introduce yourself, Prisha" said Ms. Salvo
"I'm Precilla Lihe Rosaldo, Prisha in short"
"You look Tisay hija, are you half-blooded?" she asked
[ Author : Tisay is what Filipinos call filipinos who looks and are half-blooded ]
[ Author : Hija is what Filipinos call other people who are younger to them. Hija is what they call younger girls and Hijo is for the younger boys ]
"My Father is a Persian" I replied
They look shocked when they heard my reply
They look at each other and look back to me then smiled
My mom then arrived, looking confused with what's happening
"Are you her mother?" asked the woman
My mom nodded and bowed to then, she gave them her sweetest smile too
"I'm Mrs. Reyes, owner of a modeling agency"
I was shocked with what she said but still confuse with what she wants to deliver
"If it's okay, we would like to get your daugther a model for our agency in Paris"
Paris?
That's a long long way from where we live
"But she's only ten ma'am, I want her to finish elementary first" mom replied
The woman smiled at mom and nodded
She handed her a calling card for us to contact her whenever I'm ready to join and be one of Mrs. Reyes's model
That night, what they did was talk and talk
Ms. Salvo let mom borrow her dress for my mom to have something to wear tonight
Ms. Salvo is really good to me and my mom
She has a very kind heart and I will never forget her and will never forget to pay her after I graduate
"Hi"
I was waiting for Ms. Salvo's grandson at the garden where beads light where placed in every plant she has
"I'm Christopher Jose Ceniza"
A boy not so far from my age greeted and sat beside me in the garden's swing where I sat
I smiled at him because he looks friendly and I really want to make friends
"I'm Precilla, but call me Prisha" I smiled at him again
"Friends?" he offered his hands
I accepted his invitation because he looks nice and I don't think he'll hurt me
I wish Christopher will stay until Ms. Salvo's grandson arrive so that the three of us will be friends
More Friends!
I went inside with my new friend to introduce him to mom
"Ma, this is Christopher"
My mom smiled back at me and smiled at Christopher too
"Oh I see you two know each other now"
I saw Ms. Salvo coming to us, smiling
It made me confuse and excited as well
What does she mean by we know each other?
"This is my grandson"
