It all started with the first cry that was heard at exactly 3 o'clock in the morning of October 1, 1995 in Neg. Or. Provincial Hopital. A lively, cute and a pretty little baby was born. My parents Felix B. Lingcod and Elisa L. Lingcod were very excited to see me. Not only them but let's just say all of my family members were very excited and glad to see the new born baby. Everyone had waited for this litlle being to be born on this world and everyone was very delighted to see the new born baby of the family. They contributed a lot of nice names for me, but the name that was chosen for me is "Fatima Rose L. Lingcod" and how wonderful that name was. They usually call me "Em-em" or just simply "Eim" for short.

They do watch mi grow and do observe my stages of development. They had helped me now the good values, the good things needed for a child to know. My parents worked very hard in order for us to survive and to be able to meet our basic necessities in life. Since my parents worked very hard, my grandmother is always there for me. She is the one who take good care of me when my parents are in work.
