"Myco's Cassette Tape"

They named me as Myco Johannes Villena Leonor or known as “Myco” or "Lady G" since I'm the only girl in our family. I was born in Quezon City, Philippines. My birthday is on January 9, 2005. My Father is Ryan Macunaña Leonor and My Mother is Bernadette Villena Leonor. My Father is a Gym Instructor in Fitness First at Trinoma. My Mother is a house-wife and also sells homemade foods. My Father also sells gym equipment, authentic foreign ready-to-cook food and things. We’re very flexible when it comes to business, It’s either book, clothes, cars, house, Perfume, furniture, and of course foods.

Back to our old house we’re a normal family.. when I tell you Family, I really mean it. My cousin, My aunt, Grandma, Grandpa, My parent’s cousin and… I guess all of my relative in my Mother side are living in one place. My father and Mother started a small business, It’s a Barbecue business. Every food that can be grilled, they sell that. Name it, seasoned grilled milk-fish, Grilled tilapia, pork barbecue, chicken barbecue, Chicken Intestine, Pig Intestine, Hot dogs, burger patty, and Seasoned Grilled Squid…

When I was a kid, I am always being bullied. I don’t know why, I didn’t do anything to them and they just bully me. Tripping me, Eating my food, Threatening me, Grabbing my hair, Threw my food, Kick me in stomach and even the higher level bully me. I didn’t tell it to my parent’s tho.. unless I can’t take it anymore. My parents have many problems and issues I don’t want to add petty bully issue so I kept everything inside me.

We firstly lived in Deparo Caloocan. Where my Father side are living. But then we moved in Murphy Cubao Quezon City because of bills that my parent can’t handle. And to add up, that house in Deparo Caloocan have a living spirit. My Mom told me that when we were praying before we eat, I was talking in air. Like I was inviting the ghost to eat with us. We can’t deny that there’s really a ghost in there because few blocks away from our house a massacre took place.

Aguinaldo Elementary School since Kinder to Grade 3, 15th Avenue Elementary School when I was in 4th to 5th grade and we moved here in Project 6 where I took my 6th grade in Project 6 Elementary School. My highschool life started in New Era University, Since 7th grade till now. Since I was bullied in my elem days I got traumatized so in my 7th grade to 8th grade, things are kinds messy. I can’t handle things that well but I can tell that I don’t lie, only when needed. Only when I need to cover for someone. There’s nothing happened that is important since I’m walking ambivert.

We’re still living here in Project 6 and I’m 17 years old turning 18 in January. I can’t really explain my life right now. It’s kinda boring but thanks to church duties I have something to do. I love physical activities than Social Activities. Things changed when Pandemic came and tons of people Died because of it, but this year 2022 I think we will have face to face classes which is great because I really prefer Face to Face than Online. Nothing special or important events other than getting ready for Santa Cena.

I think in 10 years’ time... I don’t really know since I don’t have a concrete plan on college. I’m planning to take law which takes about 7 years or more if I didn’t do my best. I can take Flight Attendant classes but we’re short of money, and my last resort is to be a model, connected with fashion, make up and products that are for skin. I still have 1 year to build and make a concrete plan that I will do or take in my college. I want to try new things like working while studying since I want to help my parents paying things like bills and such.

"The sudden peek."

It happened to me... 11 years ago. My Mom and Dad are planning to go to Wet Market near our house, I also planned to go with them since I love roaming around even though sometimes I get lost since I have a short memory.

When I was a kid, I love smiling at all even though I lost many teeth because I love eating candy, well they always gave me candies. They say they gave me candies because I gave smile to them. So when my Mom, Dad, and I were at the Wet Market we bought meats, veggies, drinks, and all we need to stock our food. In the middle of our walk, my Dad decided to go to barber's since his usual, and ever since haircut is semi-kalbo or military cut, Mom allowed him since the barbershop is just in the corner.

After my Mom shopped, we decided to follow my Dad to the Barbershop. So when we are on the sidewalk we looked left and right before we crossed the road but then. it happened. I opened my eyes looking at the dark skies with no shining stars. We were surrounded by people, I saw their lips open as if their speaking but I couldn't hear any noise.

When I saw my Mom standing beside me while tapping me lightly, my hearing returned but I was still shocked by the incident. Some Random motorbike just hit us. My Mom didn't get any injury but that doesn't mean she didn't get checkups. While I got 2nd degree burn, My left leg burned. I didn't feel anything at first while we were riding the police vehicle, but that time I saw my left leg whitening. I thought it was just dust from the road, but later on, I felt a sting.

I didn't say nor complain about what I felt because I can still the pain and my parents are talking to the motorbike rider and head police. When I decide to pee my left leg just got weak, I almost fell but the police standing beside the door caught me. He told what happened to me to my parents and they decided to go to the hospital with the motorbike rider because he was supposed to pay but my parents end up paying the bills because the rider is still in college and he was short on money. It didn't give me trauma or scar, but it gave me a lesson.

(Ps. I'm not good writing in english, please excuse my typos and wrong grammars. Correct me if there is wrong, I will wholeheartedly accept my mistakes.)

Around us

The breeze of the wind,

And the green grass field,

The shade of the trees as a shield,

And Playing under the sun on the field;

Clueless watching the night sky,

Night is like a freedom that can help you spread your wing and fly,

And night can be the right time to cry,

While the day has already past by,

The sound of nature in the morning,

Birds are already chirping,

Bees are buzzing,

And fresh wind is blowing,

We might not notice the nature around us,

Stepping on the grass,

Lurking all around for hours,

But someone might notice the Beauty of Nature that around us.
