Tama nga ang sabi nila, na ang kalabasa ay pampaliwanag ng mata, but then one of my niece says, ' Kelan pa daw naging 'ANTIPARA' ( eyeglass ) ang kalabasa? I was only 24 years old when I decided to go abroad, and my main goal is to build a house, to have my own house and lot after 2 years of contract, but then mayroon pa palang mas mahalaga kaysa sa bahay at lupa that need to be prioritize.

I’m single, no husband and kids. Focus on my mom and to my nieces and nephews. Way back 2014, our Eldest, who is epileptic gave birth to her 3rd child, and I took care of her since she was newborn, at tinuring kung akin. We only live in one house due to my sisters condition.

I went to Jordan last January 2017, sent all my salary to my family kasi gusto ko silang bigyan ng kaginhawaan sa buhay, I’m not really thinking of myself, always ko silang inuuna. My family is always been my first priority until now. My sisters kids was my inspiration since then. I treat them as my own.

My Brother in Law is a farmer, and his income is not enough to sustain the needs of the kids and I am always there for them of course. Looking at their pictures growing up while I’m away from them ay nagbibigay na sakin ng saya. My sister gave birth to her 4th child, and I’m always on the rescue of course.

My mom was tired, she's old. The eldest daughter of my sister was only 14 that time, I told her to be strong, I always guide her. I’m always there for her, she cried to me, she talked to me and shares everything. She complains, and I always listen. Lots of people say, don't give everything. Save some for yourself, and I just smiled at them, and answered in my mind ' Kung hindi ako ang magbibigay at maggaguide sa kanila, sino?'

My sister is epileptic since she was 9 years, and at her condition she's lucky kasi mayroong tao na nagmahal sa kanya at binigyan sia ng anak, well over lucky, kasi apat, I’m always treating her kids as my lucky charm, her 4 kids. They were my inspiration since napunta ako dito sa Hongkong last September 2019. Bilang isang single na Tita, dahil sa mga Pumpkin's ko, nafifeel ko maging isang ina. And I can prove that, ang pagiging isang ina ay hindi kailangan na nasa sinapupunan mo galing, ang mahalaga duon ay yung pagmamahal, pag aalaga at pag guide mo sa kanila habang sila ay lumalaki.

And now, the eldest ay 17 yrs old na, followed by 12, 7yrs old and the youngest is 2yrs old. Next year, may college na ako. 🥰 Who will expect right? I’m an Instant Mommy of 4 and a one call Auntie to them. As of now, ang pinaplanu kung bahay at lupa ay nauumpisahan ko na. Kasabay ng pagpapaaral sa kanila ay ang matupad ko din ang pangarap ko na magkaroon ng sarili kung bahay at lupa sa pag uwi ko. It’s a bit hard, but then I’m still thankful kasi 'God' is always there for me. He never leaves me behind. He always provide. 🙏 Nagmamahal, Inday
