My Destiny

How do I want to be remembered by other people? 
               What is legacy? For me, it is not the reward, compliments and titles that we should earn to be notice by other people. However, having trophies, medals and titles as an award for our achievements makes us overwhelmed. I don't want to be famous like the actors and actresses that we see on the movies and on the television. For me, it's not the popularity and reward that we should earn but. the experiences and the journey, that will teach and give us lessons in life.  I want people to remember me by my good deeds and my real character. On how I speak and act as a good and loving friend that they can talk to, a loving and obedient daughter to my mother and the most important is to be known as a real person and how they felt my love for them.

Who built me up? My Mother!


               My mother, Marifi L. Anastacio, is considered as a hero by myself. She's always here right beside me whenever I feel down. She makes me happy whenever she see me cry and frown. She's my downfall and she's my queen. She is my best friend at all times.  Before I was born, my father left us. And still she did her best to provide us a strong and happy family. She served as a mother and a father to me and my sister. She strive hard to give us what we need.

               Back when I was four years old, I was involved in an accident which caused blood to clot around my brain. Since I was an ankle-biter, my mother did not let the doctors to set an operation. But, I should be operated at that time or else I'm going to die. I survived the operation without knowing that my mother sacrificed some of her blood for me. Finally, I recovered fast because she took care of me.

               Now that I've grown, I became stronger, however, there are times that I can not face my problems alone. That's when she lends her hands to help me and guide me. She built me up and changed me into a better individual. No wonder, she is a better heroine than wonder woman.
