Autobiography

On August 07, 2002 in a province of Catanauan, Quezon, a princess was born. That princess was originally named “Christian Daniel” means follower of Christ but the Queen insisted and make it “Christiene Danielle”. The little princess is loved by the King and Queen, they gave them everything she wants but not their time because they are occupied by their duties but the princess knows that they are doing it for her. She can’t play outside because her parents didn’t allow her. She feels she’s isolated inside that castle. Normal kids would play tag and hide and seek but the princess is always playing board games and puzzles because she can’t play outside. That’s why she is not that good at making friends, she doesn’t know how to act infront of other people. She is always left with their maids but the maids are always bringing commoner and stealing from the castle. The princess is telling the King and Queen but they are not believing her. From that day, the princess is always making fun of their maids for them to go out from the castle. The King and Queen become frustrated and they hired many maids as they can but no one can handle the princess’s attitude. The King and Queen decided to hire the Queen’s cousin to take care of the princess. Little did they know the maid is an evil witch disguised as a friendly woman. The witch is always making the princess upset and the maid is always stealing from the castle. The princess told the King and Queen but they didn’t believe her. Years later, the princess enrolled to a school. She’s always alone because she don’t want to play to the other children and if she had a chance to play with them her yaya won’t allow her. She’s guarded by her yaya in her school until her 3^rd grade. She is bullied, her classmates envy her because she’s always on the top of the class. The princess told her parents about what’s happening, the King and Queen become proud of the princess because of her achievements and just told the princess that don’t be bothered about the bullies, they will have their karma. The Queen also told the princess that if she became the top of her class again, she will grant anything the princess’s wish and the princess agreed. She became the top of her class again and the princess wished that she wants a baby brother. That wish came true after a year. The princess became so happy at first. She noticed that the King and Queen’s attention are in the little prince. She envy her little brother, she thought that if she study harder and excel in school, maybe the King and Queen’s attention will be at her but it didn’t happen. The princess cried at school and a little boy noticed her they became best friends and from that day, the princess gained more friends. They always play and they became closer and closer to each other. They became really good friends. The princess entered her high school year and gain more friends, still, she can’t go out with her friends because the King and Queen are strict, very strict. So the princess’s friends decided to hang out in the castle. The princess doesn’t envy the little prince anymore because she realized that the little prince needed the King and Queen’s attention and guidance more than her. Even if the princess is miles apart from their kingom because of her studies she still grew up with grace and beauty. And the princess that I’m talking about is me.

I think it’s because I often use taglish rather that pure tagalog. I also think that this post is cool because you will know some of the Filipino words that are almost forgotten.
