everyone said that i was so talented. they said that my innate talents are
singing, dancing, painting, composing both songs and
poems.
my parents were so proud of me as other parents do. i was on my 3rd high school
then when i knew i had a talent in composing. i did some write-ups and dedicated
it to my parents who were so lenient. they were the first persons who could give
me nice complement. they could attest everybody how talented i
was.
when i heard that there was a songwriting contest on tv, i didn't waste time to
show i had a talent. of course, my parents were so proud of
me.
i passed my entry in a couple of
days.
when i learned that my entry as one of the finalists, i immediately packed up
and went to manila for further information
needed.
at that time, my parents having negative cash flow so they borrowed money from
our relatives for me to use in going to
manila.
it was the award's night where everybody was so tensed but excited. it was
revealed that my entry was the second prize. i was so happy. it was bliss and
blessing for my family and
me.
a week after, a producer and a talent coordinator offered me a scholarship. my
parents and i accepted it with
joy.
i know that despite the fact that i'll be far from them, their gestures say that
they're proud and happy for my
achievement.
in manila, another offer surprised me. who could resist an offer of being a
singer! my parents and i accepted it for my parent's
sake.
a year passed, i'm now on the stage of stardom. done so many songs that have
brought me up to the pedestal. one of the envied singer and now a quite popular
to all
folks.
a year passed again, i graduated from high school from a well-known university
with flying
colors.
a well known singer. i got all i wanted in life- a house, a car, money and
popularity.
one day, i went home to our province to get my parents to live with me here in
manila.
with my new car, dressed and glimmered with shining jewels. though that long
time, i know and i'm sure that was the place i've
been.
i asked group of people where my family was. "your parents have gone...", they
honestly
replied.
"gone?
where?"
"they've died. a year passed, a group of vigilantes bombed your house and your
parents weren't able to scape from that
tragedy."
i couldn't breathe. i'm trembling, speechless. i can't almost believe what i've
heard.
i found myself crying. i thought i could share my joys and experiences to
them.
all i could cherish are the moments we've shared. they're gone... to whom i
dedicate this
success?
in behalf of my happiness and victories, i lost my inspirations who brought me
up and put me where my dreams
were.
they were the persons i cherished for those happy and sad times that i mourn
for...
