The woman who took care of me

The person I chose to do my biography on is Elenita Mangiuat. I chose to do my biography on my mom because I want to learn more about her childhood, teenage years, adult life, and about the most significant events in her life and how she felt throughout them. One of the things I was most interested in learning about was what her life was like when she lived in Lipa,Batangas. Another thing I want to learn about is the things that made her the person she is today. I'd like to learn more about her goals for the future. I'm also curious in her life before to getting married and having children. I'm particularly interested in learning more about my mother's past and the challenges she had throughout her life. I'm also interested in learning who my mother is. She wanted to be a mother not only because she wanted to "boss kids around," but also because she wanted to be someone who people looked up to. One of her ongoing issues is her low stature, which makes life tough for her because she is limited in what she can do due to her height. This is an example of how she has narrowed the job opportunities she has applied for. At the age of 26, She married Emmanuel Manguiat, a 28 year old boy with big eyes. It was a formal marriage, the usual way young people got married in Philippines at the time. They eventually had two sons – Brandon and Bryan. My mother's other amazing quality is that she is naturally nice and hospitable. People are constantly drawn to her upbeat demeanor and cheerful demeanor. She doesn't put on a show or try to impress others for the wrong motives. She will go out of her way to make you feel special if she likes you. She rarely gets into fights, and when she does, it indicates she has been seriously insulted, and the offender will receive a piece of her mind. She is also a very dedicated worker. My mother did not originate from a wealthy household, as I previously stated. She had to grind her way up through sheer determination and perseverance. She also had to strike a balance between job and having a family. She had no desire to be a housewife because she believed it was her responsibility to assist her father in bringing the bacon home. She had to get up very early in the morning, cook breakfast for us, and then drop us off at school. Despite all of these exhausting activities, she still had time to get ready for work. She would pick us up from school in the evenings, prepare dinner, assist us with our homework, and then make sure we slept well. She accomplished all of these things over and again, never grumbling. In fact, if we did something without her, she would be offended. Even when she was unwell, she would get up and prepare meals for us. Mother is also a very just and fair person. She has never had a preference for one child over the other. She is fair to all of us. Rewards are determined by one's accomplishments, and punishments are determined by one's errors—in other words, you get what you deserve. She never pity one child over another, and in the event of a disagreement, she would carefully listen to both sides before reaching a decision. We weren't like the other kids, who hid in their rooms or sat in front of the television in the living room. We needed to be in the thick of things. Furthermore, with all of the smells in the kitchen, it seemed quite improbable that we would be in the living room. If my memory serves me correctly, our memorable moments were in the kitchen. We'd sing, dance, tell stories, and make up jokes. My mother also emphasized the significance of eating meals as a family. Most of the time, we'd have to wait for dad to get home from work before we could eat. Mother, on the other hand, would sit with us while we ate when dad was late, but not with us. She'd wait for her father to eat with him. Her sincere and pious nature is another distinguishing feature. If my memory serves me correctly, our memorable moments were in the kitchen.

She is my inspiration, and I intend to model my life after hers. She is the epitome of perfect motherhood in my eyes, and she is the standard to which I will always aspire. My goal is for my children to look at me with the same love and adoration as I have for my mother. May you and your mother live to see all of your great grandchildren. I'm smitten by you.

Lifestory of a Broke Student

My name is Brandon Thomas M.Manguiat and I was born on the 23rd  of July, 2004 in Mary Mediatrix Hospital Lipa,Batangas. My parents were Emmanuel Manguiat and Elenita Manguiat. And I have a older sibling named Bryan Manguiat, I was the youngest of the family and being it has its perks and disadvantages.

  As a kid at that time, I experienced the life of a typical high class kid. My parents got me tutored in Kumon, gave me swimming and piano lessons every summer. By the time, when I was a kinder to prep student, I studied at Mother Goose Montessori. My experience there was quite good cause I do have a lot of friends there and play a lot with them. I enjoyed studying there writing poems and reciting it in front of many people at that time. At home my hobbies were watching dvd’s because in those times, gadgets weren’t a trend yet. I was addicted to reading books like encyclopedia, comics, and magazines. My favorite food when going to the mall is Greenwich’s lasagna. Until now when I taste some of it, nostalgic memories is coming thru my mind. And playing offline games at my older brother’s computer, My favorite games there is Grand theft Auto: San Andreas and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. As a kid, I play games without seeing through time. I play 5-8 hours a day without eating. Sometime my parents would scold me for my habit. At summer my cousins and titas either go in our hometown (Batangas) or our family go to their place (Quezon city). Me and my cousins usually play “Taya tayaan, Tagutaguan, and Langit lupa”.  Being with them is fun because they complete my childhood. But now I got hold a of them because we were now at same place here at Quezon city.

 When I was an Incoming grade 1-3 student I studied at De La Salle Lipa, I didn’t adapted quite easily because the school is sectarian, meaning the school is being controlled by priest and brothers. Having a Christian subject that would study things about saints and religion is quite uncomfortable for me. And I say that because I am a member of the Church of Christ.  I have a good experience studying at the place because I am a consistent honor student at that time. I made up a lot of friends playing and studying with them. Until now I still remember a few names of my old classmates and friends even though I didn’t seen them for a very long time(Almost 10 years in exact). The facilities in that place is quite big and wonderful. I enjoy wondering in the school campus. When there is an incoming fair, It becomes a circus. They would put large carousel, Put many toy and food stalls, And put many wedding, jail, and horror booths. Studying there is fun until my parents decided that we will leave Batangas and live now in Quezon City. I still wonder what if I continued my studies at la salle, will I still be the same back then?  Will I still be the same student that casually snatches honor cards? The question lies beneath me.

   Finally when I was an Incoming grade 4-11 student, I study at New Era University, Quezon City. My studying experience was quite a lacky. My grades kinda fell of the grid. But in exchange of that I enjoyed my life like I never experienced before, I tried new things and felt good about it. I got classmates that I can vibe with. I pretty much got scolded by my parents because I do things that didn’t favor them. Mid elementary days like grades 4-5 is pretty much normal, I just study to have good grades and not study to learn. But when grade 6 came I met a true friend. A friend that would be with me in my highest and lowest times, sometimes we fight but we fix it right ahead. And in grade 7, I met again a true friend and we became a trio. We conquered high school, we play, we had fun, We help each other when we have problems. We had memorable times together. High School is the golden times of our lives and always have memories that would always have a place in our hearts. Grade 8 till now (Grade 11) We are still best buddies. We always talk even though pandemic came in 2020 and being associated with them make me who I am today. I am thankful of my experiences in my life and I hope that i will have a good future
