an earthquake occurred here in the philippines and I had just been born.. when the earthquake occurred.. my mom ran and took me out into the garage.. while my ama [grandmother on my dad's side] shielded her displays like vases and stuff from falling instead of going out where no vases can fall on her.. hahahaha tsk tsk.. then since my mom ran after giving birth, she bled then went back again to the hospital after being there.. ahh and that earthquake also destroyed my pool.. it shook the water out and caused the pipes to break so now my pool is full of moss and frogs.. it's a swamp now..

this year was the year that I looked around the world and learned many new things... I learned how to read at the age of 1 1/2.. the newspaper.. I was an exhibit to all my relatives... but that was ayt. hahahaha I learned how to talk.. my first word was mama.. my brother, robyn francis gil gabarda lim, was also born in October 1991.. oh yes this horrific creature has been brought into the world.. ready to torment all who cross his path.. he was fat when he was born but now he is nothing but a lump of skin with bones.. dont get me wrong, my brother is fine, but sometimes, he can really piss me off with his possessive attitude.. grrr...

i was a crawling baby.. and i was in my parents' room and they had a humongous bed.. then my auntie.. went in the room and walked over me.. and me, curious what that foot was doing in front of me.. crawled towards it, tripped and bumped my curious depressing head on the wood part of the bed and the skin on my right eyebrow.. OPENED.. .. you could see the nerves and blood and skull and everything!! I was rushed to the hospital and my skin was sewed together.. with a needle i guess, but definitely not thread.. i think.. oh no i have thread embedded into my skin.. AHahhAHHAHA... and now.. I have an infamous scar.. that would be there forever unless I undergo surgery or something or implants.. that people don't really notice.. hahahaha oh well..

ahh yesss.. jan louis lim yu is his name... son to Janette, my auntie, the one who made me get the infamous eternal scar, and my uncle, luis.. i liked him more than my brother, basically because my brother was an annoying, as I said, lump of skin and janlu, as i call him always played with me.. oh god.. flashbacks.. there was this game where we pretended to be dogs so i built a house made of pillows and brought all my toys there to be guarded by the mother dog, namely me, though I don't really know what we were guarding it from.. From evil spirits, I guess, as young minds can be terribly creative. haha.. uMm.. well, i'm still closer to my cousin than my brother because my brother is still immature and he laughs, for crying out loud, at an eraser.. while of course, my cousin has a brain that functions better.

well, i entered school.. Philippine montessori.. the teachers regarded me as the "gifted one," and I have no idea why. I learned how to play the piano at this age, though I quit again. here, i don't remember my friends, though I don't know who she is now.. I don't think I had any friends.. oh wow what a beautiful childhood.. hahaahah yes, i think I was alone before.. ah well.. hahahaha that was the kid in me.. the sad gifted kid who was consistently amused by the fish in the aquarium in the classroom.. yeah.. i poked that aquarium real good. hahahaha.. oooohh well.. that's life.. fish die.. hahahaha

not long after, Justin Lyle Lim Yu was born.. he is my second first cousin.. also son to the same aunt and uncle.. well, when justin was born, he was a peculiar man.. a strange man, in fact.. and now at the tender age of 10, he is 120 pounds, about 25 pounds heavier than I am.. and yes, as you can imagine, he is slightly overweight as of now, though I can't understand why because he was as thin as a post before, but when we went to the States in 2000, me, justin and janlu suddenly ballooned up and became chubby and flabby.. it's a curse, I tell you..

i was cast in the role of snow white at the end of the year play. and yes, there was a prince charming there. hahahaa.. but then sadly, I got a deadly disease [dun dun dun] the worst case of pneumonia. I was losing blood rapidly and the blood i had was unclean or something.. soo0o0o.. they cut the skin under my shoulder open, inserted a tube or something i dont know why.. i think into my lungs .. my lungs have holes?? hahhaha .. but now i have a weird scar there.. anyways.. they inserted the donated blood into me somehow, i forgot why.. and i remember the traumatizing event where i sat in a wheelchair, looking at a plastic bag that was slowly being filled up with my "useless blood" then I was taken into a place where new blood was .. "inserted" into me.. hayayay.. after 2 months of operation, ... YES, of course I survived.. wouldn't you be freaked if i didn't and you were reading this.. typed by the "dead" me??!?!? haii.. freakky.. hahaha so this damn woman took my role of snow white.. and she got the happy ending.. while blood was being taken from me.. :(

ahh yes, kinder years, my first years in ICA!! hahhahaa my 2nd home for the next.. 13 years.. hayayay.. in this year, i got my first real friends.. jessica and denille, i think.. and i remember them saying something about my head.. i dont remember what, though.. hahahha uHmm.. oh yeah and i was the top student in my class at this time.. hahahaha.. only at this time.. until about grade 2 then it went down slowly and slowly ahhahaha.. anyways.. i dont really remember much, just that I liked the soup served during recess.. oh yeahh.. and my friend steph has a story here.. she skipped class to pick up the leaves around the school because she wants to save mother earth, and no one noticed that she wasn't in class, and when she came back again during lunch, more leaves had been scattered all around, everywhere.. hhahaha poor kid stephie.. oh i also tutored with my dad here.. in chinese.. .. hahaha
