You're my favorite stranger

My first favorite food was Gerber and Cerelac! I was quite a “matakaw” kid according to my mom. I tried to eat everything that was given to me.

Note: “Hwag tatanggi sa grasya! Hehe”

"the early beginnings" ahaha

4. What was the craziest thing you did when you were a student?

My dad was a self-confessed “nerd” or smarty pants so he really didn’t do anything crazy. Yeah, I know, sad life. On the other hand, my mom was the class’ rebel kid. (WOW what a match don’t u think?) My mom loved her nails too much so the craziest thing she did was purposely fail he Physical Education class because she refused to hit the volleyball since her nails might get damaged. My lola scolded her a hundred times for that.

5. How did you and dad/mom meet?

Wow! Nice question. Actually, even if I don’t ask them, I quite know their love story. Yes, I am the most inquisitive daughter alive. (haha) So, their love story very much goes like the “Mano Po” movies. My mom’s pure Chinese while my dad is Filipino. Way back, it wasn’t traditionally accepted that Chinese women may have relationships with Filipino men. But then as my mom would say it “Pag-ibig eh” so they fought for their love. My dad actually skipped an opportunity to study in Harvard as a scholar just to marry my mom! (WOW) oh yeah, they actually met in college while taking Accounting class. It all started with my dad having excess money in the phone booth after talking with a friend. My dad didn’t want to step out of the booth for some reason so he dialed any number he knew (WHICH he claims was my mom’s. Oh my what a style! Ahaha). So, one phone call evolved to two phone calls and so on.

fruits of their love:

6. If you could do anything other than what you are doing now, what would it be?

My mom acknowledges the fact that she is a frustrated:

1. Traffic Aid- yes, it is her hobby to make signs for someone who is parking OR fixing the car's parking spaces.

2. Chef- My mom is the best cook EVER (except in baking ahhaha!)

3. Fashionista- sadly, my mom didnt make it as a designer. However, she had her chances in dressing up THREE DAUGHTERS which includes me, until we were 10 ahhaa! you could just imagine our clothes. here is a sample:

My Dad acknowledges the fact that he is a frustrated:

1. Boxer- yes he is the biggest fan

2. Tennis Player - yes, he is still the biggest fan

3. Basketball player - yes, again, he is the biggest fan

4. Golfer - i guess you know what i will say.

Note: My dad is really serious about these sports. Sadly, the sport wasn't friendl to him! hahaha

7. Tell me a secret you kept from your parents.

My Mom and Dad both kept their relationship a secret for the longest time! hahaha! (CORNY!!!) however, without their perseverance of loving eachother, there will be no Jeselle today;)

8. Tell me something about you that I still don't know.
