Just as the Les Miserables actors opened their mouth to sing their show's introduction and to receive the people's welcome applause here in the Philippines, was the day I was actually came into existence. I am Sophya Ranario Eusebio, born on October 7, 1993, in Manila, Philippines. How my first name's pronounced? I usually encounter problems with that,because the spelling of my name is weird. According to William-no, not Shakespeare- Galanao Eusebio, my father, i got my name from a MYX VJ named SOPHIYA. Supposedly, my name should be spelled just like the VJ's, but due to some typographical errors, which occur usually and unexpectedly, in my birth certificate, letter 'I' was omitted. How weird the outcome of my name was, it made me face life's test as I go on.
I've always been shy (since birth, honestly), just like when makahiya leaves tend to fold if touched; at times stubborn(take note:sometimes), same attitude of Pinang in the Legend of Pineapple; perpetually obedient with those of high authority in my life (I know I'm kinda ironic); and i'm largely interested with studying 9I admit, 'twas only in Grade 3 when I developed this personality). Three years after my formal existence, and residency in San Pedro, Laguna, my mother taught me how to read and write. I could still remember how hard she pinched me whenever I got to write a mirrored letter 'S'.
In that same year of 1996, I was forced to join a Sagala, the kiddie version. I also celebrated my birthday in a weird way because my parents have put on the candles figured as 1 and 2 instead of just 3, for the reason of unavailability.
Yet after all the biggest smiles and whole-hearted laughs came out of breath, something dismaying happened. This was when i completely felt like I'm at loss.
John Kevin Ranario Eusebio, my brother, as little as he can be, decided to move and study in Manila.He's the only sibling i have back then, and so the situation saddened me the most. It was a total heart break for me, but God surely has plans, and so i have to move on with myself.
Moving on, by the year 1998, my parents enrolled me in a nursery class in Joseph and Mary Academy, wherein the enrollment was insisted by none other than MYSELF. It all started when I've seen my friends goshing about their school projects and assignments and friends, etc. I wanted to learn something new, know what they have learned and make new friends. Isn't that exciting?
By the year 2000, happiness flowed. My life went to normal becausethere's another human being who's meant to be a family member, coming from my mother's womb. the baby's named Lea Therese Ranario Eusebi, and yes, she's a she. After 2 years, another one came, cute little baby that looks just like me, named Nicolas Ranario Eusebio, a bouncing baby boy. I consider them both the truest blessing God has ever given to me. they helped me cope with my rotting depression over my brother's departure.
But just when i thought life 's been perfect for me, a total downfall came to happen, predictably.
After Nicolas' birth, my parents' relationship went on the rocks. Every day was like a rumble, just like the universe's gravity vanished and all the meteors and rocks from the space fell down all of a sudden. I knew right and there that the strings attached unto us should be cut down, and separation and independence will follow. Albeit the silent treatment, I knew all the things I should know as their daughter. I knew that they will bring us in Manila and live there with my father's parents; I knew that their decision is final, and I knew that the split-up was because of my father's mistress.
All of these created a big hole in my heart. Neither sorry nor I love you from them won't be able to heal this. Even time won't make much of its concern to bring all the perfect love back.
Later that year my mother tried to get us, and she even brought us in Cagayan de Oro. unfortunately, her sisters won't allow us to live there. And so we have to make a come back in Manila, live here for good.
Life isn't bad at all. I realized this when I finally welcomed light again to face reality.
I continued my studies in Rafael Palma Elementary School, and indeed, my journey has never been thrilling. All through out my life in Manila, studying, I've achieved satisfying success.
By the year 2003, I was in grade 4, and I was tagged as the most behaved in our class.
In 2006, I graduated primary school, enrolled in Araullo High School, and discovered my talent in singing. June 2006, I'm in my first year days, and at the end of the school year, i experienced to be on the Top 10 of our class. top 8, specifically.
In 2007, Second year High School, I reached the top 2 slot, but by the end of the quarter I fell to the Top 5.
Same things happened in the following years: 3rd year I'm still in the top 15 and 4th year I'm the Section 1's top 7. I'm a regular member of the School's Glee Club, and began to be known as the Campus' singer.
By the year 2010, I already graduated High School, I passed the PLMAT exam, and started as a Freshman in PLM. I passed the course BSE-English.
2011's my present year, and I've some to write my autobiography. How nice was it to look back form the past, and laugh at the problems I came to pass through.
With all those life's medallions, I learned that every struggle is some sort of life's lesson. life's a big classroom, and classes everyday you can't ditch, because you are more than willing to learn not just with yourself. And i came to realize, I'm living what they call LIFE, and so I have to learn and grow. All worth it. :D
