THe Shallow Deep

It would be so hard to make an autobiography since I believe that, as one of my friends said to me, only God has a full non-subjective perception of a particular person, which could be ourselves. When you tell your own story to others, you get to choose what to reveal of yourself. It may be biased. But this depends on the person who would want to tell his autobiography. If it would be hard for me to speak about myself, it would be much harder for me to speak about other people’s lives but at least, I could just tell you about her, with my utmost knowledge.

A stork sent this delicate package at the doorsteps of one of the residences of Subangdaku, Mandaue City. It was a sunny Thursday morning of December 13, sixteen years have past, when her parents received and cradled her in their arms (the more ridiculous you would seem than I telling this Stork Story if you would believe in my Stork Story). Since they were living in Mandaue then, her parents sent her, plus her two brothers and only sister, to St. Joseph’s Academy, her elementary Alma mater. But when she was still eight, they moved to Lilo-an and continued to study in that school anyway. There she had many playmates and there she lived in their new abode.

Lilo-an is so far from the city but her parents insisted that she would still study high school in the University of the Philippines since they believe it is best for her to get this high standard of education. Here she mingled with her lifetime friends (presumably) and enjoyed the taste of life (sarcastically speaking) and pleasure (Now, I mean it.). Four years have past since she entered the university and now she is equipped to enter another stage of her life----college.

Before that stage, there are many things that she revealed to me as we were together with our family and friends. Maybe I am the most knowledgeable person about her. She is gutsy, I know; much of a daredevil she is. She never lets an opportunity pass, whether she would try a pleasurable experience or she would face her fear factor. She really wants to try new things and discover for herself. She never wants to stop her brain from learning. Curiosity is what drives her but ignorance would never destroy this girl because she already have the knowledge from what she learned out of the curiosity itself and the new things she unveiled herself.

With this kind of personality, no wonder how she captured the hearts of her friends. She often tells her friends what situation they are currently in through the different songs she knew. Now this tells you that she loves music so much. She likes the set of any songs of different genre minus the set of boyband craps.

Music is what you can immediately perceive of her, if you don’t know her that much. She would be deaf without it. When music dies, she would still remain a mystery to me since only God knows a full non-subjective perception of a particular person.
