When I was a kid, I always get what I want. "What Noelle wants, Noelle gets"- my parents, sister and yayas believed that motto...and they followed that. I can whine, cry, throw a tantrum...basically annoy people and*poof*...I'll be a happy kid with a new toy or the expensive mickey mouse pencil case with lots of compartments and buttons. My parents bought me gifts & new clothes even if it's my elder sister's birthday!
I was a spoiled brat...a mean mean kid.
It only continued until highschool when I would ask my dad to buy me the new album of Alisha's Attic or Cardigans or any other artist almost every other week even if I've heard only one of their songs..or he'll buy a us tickets a night before a concert..or the magazines that I only used to cover my notebooks. Pero I'm nicer because naglalambing na ako whenever I want something.
Nung College..Everything changed. I met new people...different kinds of people. They were simple but happy...unlike li'l "me". A friend once told me "You're too dependent". Yep, she's true that's why I tried to travel...alone, even if the pesteng mama sa recto gave me wrong directions. I learned a lot! I learned to travel (with a map), shop...haggle, and save my own moolah. I learned the value of money.MonEY.mONey.
kahit paano..I learned..and they were major accomplishments para sa'kin.
this is a part of my sweet childhood...
just another day...
