When I Was Young in the Philippines

When I was young in the Philippines, I lived with my mom’s side of the family and loved eating bread with condensed milk inside as a snack. For meals I ate rice with something else on the side. When I was young in the Philippines, I liked playing with my mom’s old toys or my own stuff. Or we would go somewhere. I would still be eating bread with condensed milk. When I was young in the Philippines, I would help my mom by saying how the food tasted. Since I was a toddler I didn't do many chores. But I would entertain my family since I was a funny toddler to them. When I was young in the Philippines, on the weekends I would go to church or stay home and play with my toys or iPad. If I got tired, I would take a short nap. When I was young in the Philippines, I heard people chatting since I was in a big household. I would hear my little brother cry sometimes too. Or I would hear, ‘What do you want for dinner?’ Or, ‘ What's for dinner?? When I was young in the Philippines, I would go upstairs alone where it's mostly quiet and play with my mom’s old toys to relax. If I got bored I would ask for a snack, my favorite one, which was bread with condensed milk of course. When I was young in the Philippines, I loved the Philippines and found it amazing. So now I'm sure to call it …my HOME.
