It's All About Me

I am Aiza Mesiona Dela Cruz; a 15 year old girl living in Holy Cross, Manay, Davao Oriental. I was born on October 28, 1997. My beloved parents are Mrs. Isabel Mesiona Dela Cruz and Mr. Yalito Ferrando Dela Cruz. I am the third one among us siblings. I have my eldest sister named Bella Lisa Dela Cruz, elder brother named Anaclito Dela Cruz and my youngest sister named Kris Ann Dela Cruz. We are six in our family.

In our home, I am very close to my sisters, except for my brother. Very often, I have misunderstandings between me and my kuya. That’s why my sister has said that “hindi talaga kayo magkasundo ng kuya mo simula pa noon”. Ha-ha. My sister is right. I was born sweet to my sisters especially to my mother. But we also often got to some little quarrels.

Ever since I was a child, I seldom got to play inside our house rather than outside. What I play most of my childish years are dolls. Though I don’t have my sisters’ time to accompany me in playing with that sort of toy, I would play it barely. But sometimes when my younger sister got bored and she has nothing to do she would accompany me for only a few times. Sometimes when we get in to a quarrel, she would hide my dolls or even destroy them and throw outside the house. Just like also with what my brother would do when he get caught my dolls, sometimes he would do more than that. I actually remember when my brother lied to me the we are going to play a treasure hunting and I’m the who would got to hunt the treasures which he have hidden and that I don’t know that my dolls are the treasures he meant then turn it into pieces then he hid each of it anywhere in the house. I got angry that time but I feel like funny because I just didn’t notice what he would do.

In our family, we, the siblings are disciplined by our parents. Among my brother and sisters, I am much closer to my eldest sister who is Ate Bella. Sometimes we get together in singing and joking but most of the time we get to be as so sweet sisters in our house. Among them also, the one I don’t like to stick with is my brother. He isn’t like my Ate, but I think he is good sometimes but I just don’t feel it sometimes. He was like getting strict to what we usually do or act. My youngest sister is likely to be boyish or something when carrying herself.  That’s why my brother would also like her rather than me (I’m too girly daw). She’s also the one I can count on though we make more fights; actually, I treat her like my best friend. She knows what I have now and then. She can keep some of my secrets, feelings and also those I fear.
