Who am I? At the perspective of my parents.

It is very though to describe oneself but I just wanted to see myself as a combination of - who my parents are?

My Mom, Mama, Mommy, Okasaan, Ina, Mother goose, and Mother dear is Celeste Goleta Redondo (with her maiden name). She is a jolly person, times of being nagger but it’s manageable I believe. Also she is a woman with a green thumb, Oh yea, a person who can put any plants in to life, making her pursue the Agricultural Education. Somehow minor (as what my dad said), but I adore my mom for that. She had worked as a teacher and an office girl at MIAA until we got born. Hard worker and Frugality is very natural to her. But she was cool though - also loves to dance (awkwardly with me haha) and working out in our mini gym with me (bonding moments) - she is real chubby - but hell yes, she had a slim and sexy body with a 26 waistline before and a long slender, flawless legs (making my dad fall in love with her lol). And obviously, she was attractive making her to broke a lot of hearts (XD). Got the Spanish good looks of Redondo Family, fair skin and the height that I got?! She was a family person. Have an intimate relationship with her siblings - and I suppose she is also the bread-winner in the family. And Yes! she used to be very supportive to me when I am applying for my US Internship - I know and I can feel that she is proud of me and my siblings - and I know that she also want to visit the family in San Diego - that I will work out in the future.

Yes of course, my dad, daddy yo, daddy dear, boss daddy, Otousan, Col. Nestor Relles Pastoral. Indeed he is a very strict dad, making us to be the most disciplined children ever (I suppose). But despite of that militarily stiff looking guy is a kind and loving dad. Yea I admit being a daddy’s girl, I always come and hang out with my dad coz I enjoy it. We have the same interests (jogging, aero soft, firing, even drawing, architecting, engineering - got my artistic side to him) and principles in life (I adapt to him most of my attitude towards life - not to go with the flow, go to what you think is right - and dreams - that I will be in my best potential). He always give me his words of honor, inspiring me to succeed. I am his side kick, secretary, beautician, manicurist etc. And yes, I know him a lot! His success and downfalls, His Impatience and Hitler look when he doesn’t like what you were doing. And yes, he is an ambitious but simple man. And he made it in life! He is a leader, had been the Chief of Police of Paranaque, R5, DPD, and COP of different provinces in the country. But due to his love for the family, he would always wanted to be assigned where he can see us growing. I am very proud of my dad. He is one and only dad - the most generous person for me, and people around him, hmm exact opposite with my mom But since then both of them have this common goal - to live and give a good life for us and live a simple farm life in the province where they both came from and started it all - Nabua, Camarines Sur.

To wrap it up, I am a perfect combination of this two amazing person. I love them so much, they were idols - my inspiration in my life. I will never be me without them. Making me believe that I will be someone in this world and in my own ways, I can change and make my mark in this world like them.

~ps, just thinking, when will I meet the person for me? I never had a boyfriend out a promise with my dad - that I’ll finish my study first, but what if that time comes? May God evesing me
