one forgetful history


I came from a very simple family but see our family is tightened by very strong bonds of love. I've noticed that the couples in our family lived far from each other before they are united. I really know little 'bout my great grandparents especially in the father's side because my family in the father's side live in Baclaran and me with the mother's side live here in the beautiful province of Maragondon, Cavite. Back to the father's side, all I only know about my great grandparents(the parents of my grandmother) is their names. And take note, their names both start in letter "m" Maleriano and Margarita and same as the parents of my grandpa, both starting in "e": Emerinciana and Esteban. In my mother's side, I know my great grandma in my grandmother's side she is Dominga Ruffy. I've known her because I saw her name in the cemetery when we visited my grandma. My mom said that she really didn't know what her grandma was like while my great grandpa, Cirilo or Cerilo, I don't know;marked in my mom's brain because he is such a gambler. Well in my grandpa's side. His parents were a blurr in my mom's memory. My grandpa's parents were seldomly talked about when she was young. She van't remember their names. So now we are done with my great grandparents. Now, let us go to my grandparents. In the father's side my grand parents are still alive abd happy. My grandma, Lola Carmen is a visayan and I am proud to say that she is a cancer survivor. while my grandpa, Lolo Julian is a Kapampangan and he is a very, very good chef(he was a chef in a ship before).
In my mom's side my grandparents are both dead. My grandfather was a playboy as what my mom states. He died last December. He had, I think more than three wives. Whoa, I wonder how my grandpa looks like, back when he was young. My grandma died when my mom was in the 6th grade(that must've been very painful).She ded because of colon cancer. Both of my grandma's in both side have cancer should that scare me?By tha way, I was never really close to my grandparents so I won't know what traits I inherited. But I am close to my parents my mom who is a very short tempered woman can sometimesbe my friend. Well,I don't see myself as a short tempered girl. Truth is, I am cheerful but sometimes sensitive like my mom. On the other hand my father is a happy person just like me but sometimes he easily gets hot-tempered which I am not. I am sure of one trait that I inherited to my father: his being an impulsive buyer. When I amin the mall and saw something I want I immediately buy it.But now I try to control myself. So I won't reproduce more impulsive buyers in my own branchof our family.
