Aminadab D. Mahinay October, 15, 2012 BSED-2se2 English 12/Creative Writing My Life Story Writing an autobiography could be an interesting journey into our past life and also an opportunity to relive the best moments. So, I would like you to know me and learn from my life experiences. I hope you will enjoy reading this autobiography of mine. My name is Aminadab and my families define my name as a blessing from God and it came from the bible character who is one of the descendants of Jesus genealogy. I was born on November 15, 1992 at four o clock in the morning. I was born at Obrero, Butuan City, and this is the town of my mothers side. My mothers name is Jocelyn D. Mahinay and my fathers name is Rolly A. Mahinay. My father was a farmer from Negros Occidental who migrated in Butuan City to have a job where he met my mother and fall in love with her. My mother also is the daughter of a fisherman father and a fish vendor mother who are my grandparents in my mother side. My grandparents in my father side is a farmer, they owned lot of lands in Negros Occidental. My grandfather at my father side had already passed away. Because of this my grandmother motivates herself to be strong without the existence of my late grandfather with the help of her two sons including my father and five daughters. My mother is the youngest girl among the three girls and five boys of the siblings of my grandparents at my maternal side. I am so proud to have my family now. Despite of being poor, still I am so thankful to God that He gave this kind of family to me. I am the eldest girl in the twelve siblings of my parents. People treated me as a boy, because I grow up with the guidance of my elder brothers and elder cousins who played basketball, in short I am surrounded by boys at that time. My family was very blessed to have a very big family. All of my brothers names are taken from the bible namely: my eldest brother Joshua, my second brother Jehoiakim, third Jonas and fourth Jesse and only me among the girls whom my parents named after the name of Amminadab from the genealogy of Jesus. My sisters names are: Amilyn, Angelika, AprhyllAljahmi, Shellanie and Cristell. My one sister Roda and my one brother who is John had already passed away after my mother giving birth to them. John is the twin brother of my sister Amilyn. I spent most of my times in readings books and sometimes chatting with my friends. I rarely used my time on hanging out with friends. I love to stay at home after the class to watch movies or to have some rest or to have some sleep. Im not a busy type of a person. If there is a work to be done, then I would put my time working on it. I hate the time spent without doing something. I am currently residing at A.L. Wakan View Homes, Lower Apokon, Tagum City. My favorite pets are dogs. I stayed in the house of my aunt who has a lot of dogs in their house. I really love dogs, for me they help me to forget all those problems when Im enjoying my play to them. I feed them as a person like me. Three years ago, when I had this Meniere Pincher breed of a dog, I named her Pinchay and I treated her as my best friend.Pinchay loves to sleep beside me every night. She loves to put her head under my armpits. She accompanies me when I will go to fishing in the small pond in our barangay. Pinchay also loves to go to church every Sunday, in the church she will sit beside me and be seated like a person. Suddenly, a time came that Pinchay have this kind of uncurrable disease cause by a virus which cause Pinchay to vomit blood. Because of this, my best friend and my favorite dog among the dogs in the house had passed away. At that moment, I cried a lot that even Pinchay is not a person like me then I love her as one of us. Until now I always remember the memories that me and Pinchay have shared. Many of my relatives told me that I dont have this talent to brag. But I believe in the saying of the bible that one of us has a unique talent, maybe its not in singing or in dancing but maybe in preaching the good news of God to everyone or maybe its in teaching. I have this hobby that becomes my favorite sport later on and it is swimming. My aunt is the first person to encourage me to try to participate in swimming and she also comprise me in her swimming team. Fishing, playing table tennis, playing volleyball and playing basketball are some of my hobbies. Also, playing
games in the internet like tetris battle, dota all-star and counter strike are some of my past time. My first ambition in life is to become a professional teacher someday. Second is to have a stable job and a permanent one so that I can help my family especially to my parents who raised me from birth up to this present. I want also to help the church in the future especially our church who had a big contributions to me of where I am now. I will never regret the help of the important people who help me to become mature in the future and to become a stable one. I hope in the future that I can find my true happiness in everything in life with the help of God. And I hope also that I can do all I want to do in the future with the help of my family, friends, relatives and especially God. My dearest fear in life is the lightning and thunder. If the clouds were dark and it will rain with lightning and thunder I will not go outside the house I will just lay on my bed and have some sleep. Then after sleeping, my fear will just vanished. My favorite food that I love to eat every morning is Ampalaya with egg. I dislike food that taste like something sweet and sour. In movies I love the movie entitled The Vinci Code and also Angels and Demons, I also read the novels of these two movies. I dont like a movie that has a lot of rude scene. My favorite meals are: ampalaya with egg, sinigang, grilled milkfish and many more. My favorite poems are the poems of Dr. Jose P. Rizal especially Sa AkingMgaKababata. My favorite television programs are: Show Time and American Idol. My favorite books are: the series of Harry Potter, the series of Twilight, Angels and Demons, Da Vinci Code and most especially the Bible. My favorite outfit is wearing skinny jeans and shirts. My favorite hobby is watching television programs. My favorite sports are: swimming, table tennis, volleyball and basketball. I have this early memory of mine when I was about four years old. During this time my parents have decided to migrate at my fathers homeland in Negros Occidental. At this time, I remember that I love eating those ripe guavas at my grandparents farm. I love to stay in the farm to be with my favorite grandfather who loves to drink tuba a folk wine that is the product of the coconut tree in the farm. I tasted it once and it turns me into a very deep sleep the whole day and my eyes get blurred as the result of the wine into my body. My grandfather wants me to accompany him in the farm so that he will have a singer and a dancer to entertain him while working. He always wants me to sing and dance with the payment of one peso per sing and dance. The best memory that I have during this age is the time that my grandmother ask me to bring the nigo to my mother. A nigo is something round thing that can be used as a filter for the rice. This nigo is very big for a four year old child to carry, in result of this when I already carry the nigo I suddenly stepped on a stone and it turns me down. In turning down, the nigo cover my whole body that anyone that will pass on that road cannot see me. I just sleep under the nigo when my uncle the brother of my father had passed on that same road where I was in a deep sleep had familiarized the nigo that it is her mothers property and knowing that this nigo is the favorite nigo in the house. He gets it without noticing that me is in a deep sleep under that nigo. After he found me, he get me with the nigo and bring me to our house. My mother and my father was really shock for what had happened. At this age also, I was very excited to go to school, to meet my classmates, to meet my teacher in kinder and especially to wear my new school uniforms. My father was the first to accompany me in the school. At this time, I remember that my parents brought me a new set of clothes worth one hundred fifty pesos only. Until now that set of clothes were being used by my nieces. I have done an interview of one of my relative in my fathers side about what were me like as a child when they first saw me. I interviewed one of my dearest uncles who is the only brother of my father. He said that when he first saw me I was around four years old. He told me that I look like princess at that time we arrived. When I asked him that to whom I look alike? He said that I look like my aunts face; this aunt of mine is the youngest of my father. He told me also that I am the third girl to be born in the family for several years. He told me also that I am the kind of a baby who is contented of what my parents had. He said also that I love to sleep on the sofa with sounds. My uncle remember the best events that happen in my life as I grew up when they celebrated my fifth birthday celebration party with balloons and funny clowns. The funny thing that my uncle remembers about me as I grew up is when I put the sugar in the tuba wine and
drink it as the result of falling down into the ground. I also knew that my uncles second daughter was the second to take me in the school riding a motorcycle. He also remembered when I was celebrating my sixth birthday celebration that was held in their house because his eldest son was the sponsor. My uncle told me that Im not fun of writing letters, but I am fun of saying my gratitude to everyone who has contributed a lot in my life. My uncle also reminds me, that the first house that we lived in Negros is the old nipa house of my grandparent near to their house. One story also that my uncle told me about me and my parents. It is, when my father wants me to stay in the house with my mother and my brothers will be the one to accompany him fishing at night. Because my father wont allow me to accompany him then I will cry very loud that night that our neighbors deep sleep was disturb by me. Then the wife of my uncle would go to our house and get me and she will give me some candies for me to stop crying. The best story that my uncle told me is about my cousins that until now I also remember that we are making fun of hanging out with friends. We love to go to the fish cage and there we will catch fish. It is the time that my father first scolds me for doing that naughty thing. My uncle remembered about my first confirmation in the church where my ninang and ninong is one couple. The first gift that I received from them is the ripe guava that my ninong personally handed it to me. In the year two thousand, I and my family move back to Butuan City my mothers homeland. In Butuan I continue my elementary years and also in high school. I was twelve years old when I graduated my elementary year at Obrero Elementary School. I have received a lot of awards during this time. I am exactly thirteen years old when my parents and my aunt decided to sent me to my aunts house who is a teacher in high school. There I learn a lot of things during my high school days. My aunt is the one who finance my needs in school. She provided me everything that I need in school. This is the time also that my aunt introduce me to her swimming team and having me as one of her new member swimmer. At that time, I won a lot of awards in swimming. At around seventeen years old, I graduated in high school with medals. My aunt was so proud of me that she wants me to be like her as a teacher someday. After graduating high school, my uncle decided to send me to a bible school to know about God and have a four scholarship in college. I was eighteen years old when I graduated my bible schooling here in Tagum. After the graduation, I and my batch at the bible school take the entrance examination in USEP. Were glad that all of us had passed the examination and the interview. We had undergone English Bridge Program because our English result was very low. We all passed on that English Bridge Program. I enrolled in the University of Southeastern Philippines taking the course Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English. I survived on my first year in college. At present, now I am already nineteen years old. I am running twenty this coming November 15, 2012. I am already a second year college taking the same course. I might face difficulties in life but I would strive hard to achieve my goals in life in the future. During this time, I am a sickly kind of a person. My body cannot survive long studying lessons. I was already confined in a hospital during our one week intramural meet. I am very sad at that time because that is the first time that I did not participate in any event in the said program. After the intramural meet 2012 is the final examination and it is very hard for me to study all the lessons and to pass those requirements of the teachers. But I did it for my future. At this very moment while writing this story I suffered a lot because my mother would always contact me to check if I sleep early or I take my medicine. I am very tired of taking those medicines. Every day Im hoping that my recovery would work fast so that I can do all things without the assistance or laying myself to other people. From now on, I would focus my attention to my study so that in the future I will achieve my goals and to have a better life with my family. We must not forget that in everything that we do there is God who helps us in surviving those problems and trials that come unto our lives. I am hoping that you will learn how to call God into your life as you grew up. Being a professional teacher is not a profession but it is a talent from God that every one of us cannot do without His guidance. So live life with God.
