I was born in the Philippines and I lived there for a while. I learnt how to speak Tagalog; it is the official language in the Philippines . I was also full of energy when I was young. My cousin Angilen was like a sister to me and her brother William loved calling me names and loves to be funny. My mom found another man. They saw each other on the internet and fell in love and now I call him dad.I forget he is not my real dad…But he is my step dad. He drove us to Alberta and lived in a hamlet that is very small. And I made a fair few friends. I also lived in a condo. I had a friend there until she moved. After living there for a few years, we thought of moving to a new city and it felt weird living here. I started to make some friends. Now I have love, hope,family and trust. I started to love it here!
