Tap in the morning to you my fellow tumblr's
for this blog, i will talk about my journey of life in thailand from the start to where i am right now.
many of my friends, people even teachers tend to ask how did i grow up here in this country, well first of all, people always think that i'm half because of my thai communication skills, But actually i'm not, i'm pure filipino born in the philippines and use to live in the philippines
(story time, don't you sleep! reading my story,lol just kidding)
I was born in a small city named zamboanga in the south of the philippines, growing up as a kid there was quite hard because, we weren't really that rich, we were kinda in the poor side, we were living in a big wooden house that my father and my uncles build, this house contained 13 lives living inside of it, 6 of my uncles, my father, my grandma and grandpa and four siblings inluding me as the youngest, my mother was already working abroad since i was little and after 7 years in the philippines me and my father moved to my mother's workplace which was thailand, at the 1st day of july 2010, we finally arrived here in thailand and i was so excited and nervous at the sametime, the first day we were living in the hotel to plan our way going to my mother's workplace which was in nakhorn sri thammarat, thungsong
(Here are some of my pictures during the first day in the hotel in thailand)
we went straight to nakhorn by riding a train and started my first day of school in tantiwatra school near tesco lotus, you might think that i was happy there but the truth is its the oppisite side, you know why? Being the only Foreign child there was difficult, i can't find friends to talk with only some other foreign teachers that i usually hang out with, as the black sheep in the school i tend to get picked up by bullies and just try to survive every single day by avoiding all of their actions, after a while i coudn't stand all of the negativity that is happening to me so i talked to my parents and i moved to a catholic school named darunsuksa,i was quite happy being in a catholic school because im catholic and i was expecting to live a better life in this school, the first month of school was quite ok because no one really knew me back then and i could speak some thai basic sentences,i was an altair boy in the church near the school so everymorning i come to church and pray.
after a few months i was getting targeted by bullies again and that made me so depressed and frustrated so tried to convined myself to be a new person, so all the problems that i faced was pushing me to learn more thai to prove that i'm not a sand bag that you can punch me everytime you want, 2 years after all the hard work that i've done i realized that i can speak read and write thai and it made me so happy that i got respected by the teachers who tought me thai and many other people, i started gaining trust to other kids forming a connection between new friends and friends that onced bullied me. After spending three years in darunsuksa i realized that i wanted to study in a standard school and one of them was thungsong school, it was so hard for me to past the test because of my knowledge in thai but what i did was exceeded my limits and studied more for my future and guessed what i past the test and got the top three highest score in the paper i was so shcoked and happy in the same time!! and i officialy studied in thungsong school in Eng gift program (here are some pics after i past the test)
For my life in M1-M3 nothing really much happened because i already knew how to start a conversation and make new friends, but one thing i wanted to share was after i found out that i can speak 2 languages i started competing with other kids in other schools i competed a lot of competitions such as singning,impromptu speech,spelling bee,story telling and many more, my name was quite known back then because of my awards and my nationality,3 years in thungsong school made me happy i got lots and lots of precious memories during there, and after that i graduated and it was time to move on to another school.
i moved into satreethungsong school with 4 more friends that had the same goal as me and they were tonnam,arm,lin and kin, right now i'm in the last year of my senoir level and i had many precious memories here in this school i just wanted to say thank you the past me that studied so hard and achieved something that i would never imagine. Now, for those who have problems in life i would like to say that try not to fear it but face it and make it as one of your responsibility that you need to do, those who give up with problems are losers but those who stand up and fight the problems are winners
thank you for reading this blog and see you in the next blog peace
