My Second First (i.e. My First...2nd edition)

'Just thought of continuing my very first post entitled "My First..." due to the existence of those first in my life that was not mentioned there when I made it. Here goes.....

My First Uttered Words...
According to my beloved Mom, yung unang salitang binigkas ko eh "DADA". Tapos kasunod siguro nun DEDE, tapos di muna nasundan ng bago kasi everytime na sasabihin ko yung DEDE, pinapasakan agad ako ng gatas sa bibig ni nanay, kaya siguro tumagal bago nasundan ng DIDI, Nung binigkas ko na yung "DIDI" yung tatay ko naman ang nag-aabot sa kin ng gatas siguro kasi bisaya s'ya eh....kaya natagalan na naman bago makarating sa DODO. Teka baka humaba pa, dito na lang muna. LOL!

My First Train Ride...
All of the kids in our neighborhood that day were very excited to the newly inagurated train station, and I am too!, especially when I heard of the free ride that they're giving. So much excited that I naughtily slipped out from our home to have that free ride on train. Sumama ako sa maraming batang gala na sumakay hanggang sa Tutuban. Pagdating doon, takbuhan sila kung saan-saan. I was left alone and lost in the station. Inabot ako ng tanghalian at gusto ko nang pulutin yung mga pagkain tira na naiwan sa mga bangko nung mga pasahero dahil sa gutom. Medyo natatakot na rin ako dahil di ko alam ang pauwi. Meanwhile...nagkakagulo na rin ang mga relatives ko sa paghahanap sa akin, umiiyak na mother ko. Buti na lang may nakapagsabi na sumakay daw ako sa tren. My father went to the direction of Hulo to try and find me, and my mom went to the opposite direction....Tutuban. Fortunately, I was found by my Mom when she arrived there. Seeing me under the table trying to pick up some biscuits to augment hunger, made her cry aloud but smiling at the same time. Di ko talaga maintindihan mga nanay oh! Imbes na pakainin ako eh umiyak pa.....hehehe

My First Job...
Magtatapos ako ng elementarya nun, nung magsimula si nanay magtinda sa palengke. And as the eldest among her siblings I was tasked to go there after my class to aid in selling vegies. Daming kumpetensya pala, dikit-dikit pero not once but many times angat kami sa bentahan, husay kasing pumili ng panindang maganda si inay sa Divisoria kaya dinudumog, Eh pag yung mga katabi namin eh medyo luma na ang tinda at maraming madyik na nilalagay para maging sariwa (kuno). Isinisigaw ko naman yung paninda ko......ALE! MAMA! SITAW, TALONG AT KALABASA, MADE IN JAPAN!! Ayun, eh di naubos agad, nakatawa pa yung bumili....

My First Sex
Oopps, meron na nga pala nito dun sa unang edition...tignan n'yo na lang! hehehe

My First Love
Ito yung nakaligtaan ko na hinahanap ni blogfriend Jinkee noon...,
Her nickname is Bong (di po s'ya lalaki ha), quite a masculine nick for a Ms. Senior high school beauty. Di ko s'ya maligawan nung high school kasi may gusto rin yung barkada ko sa kanya na nauna syang makilala at pinakilala pa ako, so to avoid conflict, I just kept my admiration to myself until I went to college. Pero di naka-first base yung barkada ko dahil mabagal yata eh, o di s'ya type. In a million of a chance. she also happened to enroll to where I enrolled. Gulat talaga ako sa pagkakataon....so nagkaligawan na at nabola, ehem!, napasagot ko pala s'ya second year yata ako nun. I was her first boyfriend. We went steady for awhile and our relationship was getting deeper everyday although we don't do dates yet bata pa raw kami, aral muna. Very conservative and awkward s'ya from what she heard and known about me when it comes to girls during my high school days, ewan ko ba kung bakit naikwento ko lahat sa kanya yun. Masyado akong naging honest siguro, kasi parang tinamaan talaga ako. But then, relationship ended suddenly!, for some reason that was not really clear to me. Basta wag ko na raw syang sunduin sa room nya at ihatid pauwi. Gusto raw nya na mapag-isa muna without the presence of a boyfriend. Man!! It struck me quite painfully. Pero di ko pinahalata ang sakit, inis at pagkalitong feelings ko na halo-halo sa mga unreasonable reasons nya. I just kissed and bid her goodbye. After few months and thru a common friend, gusto daw nya ako makausap and be together again. I didn't give time on it kasi feeling ko nilalaro ako nito ah. after a year nagkaboyfriend din sya at nagkabreak ulit and she again hinted to talk with me thru a friend, inaantay daw n'ya ako but I did not went through with it, siguro masyadong nasaktan pride ko and I feel insulted at ayaw ko ng maulit. Until I was able to forget her, I mean..,the feelings. Di ko na s'ya nakita after graduation. Kumusta na kaya s'ya? I wonder...(sabi nga ni Ka Uro)...(haba at korni noh?)

My First Wife...
'Nickname is Chi-Chie. I love her so much that's why she's my first and only wife at wala ng second.....promise! Pustahan pa tayo eh!

My Firstborn
After a month of marriage, sinorpresa ako ng wife and only ko, on the way daw s'ya and our doctor confirms it. Tatay na ako!! But during the first few months panay ang sakit ng tiyan ni Chie, kaya pabalik-balik kami sa doctor. I was shocked to hear that the findings was an ectopic pregnancy daw, where the baby is outside of her womb and will not survive accordingly. Maagasan daw s'ya. We went to another doctor for a second opinion but just the same. Sobrang lungkot namin and we refuse to believe it! Text ako sa mga kasama ko sa Church asking for a prayer on the situation. We really did not give up. We prayed earmestly for God to spare our firstborn. And then, we wait...After a week, the pain in her stomach gradually disappear, we were continue praying na wag s'yang maagasan. We finally went back to doctor after a couple of weeks for a check-up. The doctor displayed a face that wonders after series of examination done to my wife. And she came out with this words....."Your baby seems to know how to crawl back into her mothers womb" Gumapang yata ang baby mo!! It's a miracle!!! Muntik na akong maupos at mapasigaw. I praised God for that! My God is God of miracles! He never fails only if we believe!!
Now, my firstborn is already in grade five, she's got her mom's charm and beauty, also a consistent topnotcher in her level school wide. Glory to God!!!

Marami pang exciting, embarassing and uplifting first experience ang naiisip ko pero sa third edition na lang yata at mahaba na eh. Kayo ano mga first n'yo?

Have a blessed day!!!
