MY HOME WHERE MY HEART IS…..

Each year millions of pesos are spent on therapy because people want to re-live their childhood. These people discover late in life that childhood was the time period where the most meaningful parts of life were. Things from our past don’t just fade away, they are part of us, and most people greatly miss them weather they know it or not. My most meaningful place is my grandparents house because it is a symbol of relieving my childhood, indulging my good times, and just plain feeling at home.
Childhood is the time in life where personality traits are formed and memories haven’t yet taken a sentimental feeling. Now that those times are gone, I remember running through the neighborhood with my friends and many other happy times where I knew I was having fun. The time my sisters and I were playing jackstone in our living room was fun. It was a friendly game, and even we set the cushion form in the floor so nothing would be broken. My theory on life is in order for something to be meaningful, you have to want it. I don’t always want the irresponsible times of discovery that were my childhood back, but I do strive for the feelings I had toward life when I was there. Having a pleasant attitude all the time may not be possible this day in age, but I know it’s a good feeling when you can. I can recall this memories at any time, But they are especially present when I’m at home. It’s not just because most of these things took place while I was at home, but because I actually feel like I can do everything again while I am there. In this aspect, my grandparents home is a giant playground of memories with every toy that I can imagine. I live far from this home, but sometimes we are visiting there for a vacation. Our mother prepared our table as we were playing, were passing the food around, laughing, and enjoying each others company. Leaving the house may have push our family apart a little, but coming back it glues us back together stronger than ever. I have made my home a sort of symbol of this which is another reason, I have named it the most meaningful place to me. You can do what position in sitting you want, even though the weirdest position on the world, I feel comfortable when I am at home. I’ll never forget the face of our grandparents when we went home in Ilocos.
Our house is The only place right now where I feel at home. This is one of the most important reasons our house is meaningful to me. Something is meaningful because you put it in your heart. As the old saying goes, “HOME is where the HEART is”. Through reliving my childhood, the happiness I’ve experienced, and the feeling it causes to be there, I know that my home is possibly the most meaningful symbol I could ever have.


My parents met….

In the province of Cagayan valley there was a girl, she is working in the farm with her brothers. One day their aunt offer her to work in her dress shop in Ilocos. She traveled in Ilocos, she met a boy. That boy is my father. The first gift that my father gave to my mother is a fish (tilapia).

My First Breath….

There was a woman named Carmelita, she is bearing a child. On a warm and sunny day of June 30 year 1993, her tummy aches and his husband carried him and he called a midwife… in 3:00 on that afternoon she gave birth, a healthy baby girl. They named her Vinerva ( that’s me).

Who I am…

I’m Vinerva Palo, born in Pantay Daya, Vigan City, Ilocos Sur. I studied in different schools. Let’s begin when I’m in grade1 and 2, I studied in Nipaco, Paniqui, Tarlac. When I’m in my grade 3 I transferred in Bagumbayan Elementary school in Cagayan Valley. When I’m in grade 4 untill in grade 6 I studied in Jose Singson Elementary School. I graduated as a third honorable mention. I also get the most responsible student. In my high school I graduated in Ilocos Sur National High School (ISNHS). Even though I don’t received any award in high school, I tried my best to study hard and graduate with my fellow batch mate. I’m taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA). Studying for me is not that so easy, but I’m trying my best not to give up because my parents said that these is the only treasure that they can give us.

What I like and not…..

There are many attitudes of people around us that we don’t like, but there are also good. I don’t like people that are self centered, back fighters, people with crab mentality. I don’t like people with that attitudes because its like they want to be the star all the time. I like people who have a kind heart, loyal, friendly, risk taker and people who are religious, because its like they were the one who will help you to achieve your goals in life.



My favorites…

All of us have a favorite, like favorite color , food, etc. My favorite color is Blue, because for me it symbolizes peace and unity. Sinigang is my favorite food. Sampaguita is my favorite flower, because the simplicity of that flower symbolizes the Filipina. I love playing volleyball, it gives you determination to catch the ball , just like in real life you should be strong enough to face the problems in our life.

My precious zodiac sign…..

Cancer…that’s my zodiac sign, there are many strength and weaknesses in my zodiac sign… I’m extremely loyal to those who appreciate and support me in everything that I do. They said that we are excellent business people and investors because of our intuitive and psychic ability. They also said that we have a creative forward thinking mind. We can also predict future trends. Easily affected and will sulk and wallow in self pity for a long time when we get hurt. Cancer like I have a difficult time trusting people, but this is a mysterious sign, filled with contradictions we want security and comfort yet seek new adventure.

The year of the Rooster…

People born in the year of the rooster are deep thinkers, capable and talented, we like to be busy and devoted beyond our own capabilities and deeply disappointed if we fail. I can be a bit accentric and often have rather different relationship with others, I always think that I’m right. I can be frequently a loner, I’m emotional like my fortunes. I can be selfish and too outspoken but always interesting and can be extremely brave.



My memory verse….

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God loves us very much, because he sacrifice his only son to wash our sins. We should thank for that and we should believe in him always.



True Love


In a far away place there was a girl named Angelie. She is the only daughter of a couple named Juan and Maria. One day the couple together with Angelie decided to travel in the city to sell their goods. Angelie picked a picture Of a boy. She always keep it where ever she go. On the day of her graduation in college her parents go in the city to buy a gift for their daughter but unfortunately they met an accident. When Angelie heard that news she ran in the bus station to go in the hospital where her parents is. Her parents both die in that day but she is strong enough to face that trial in her life, because her parents always saying that no one is permanent in this world.

She decided to find a job. Fortunately she find a job, she is already a regular employee there. One day she went to the market to buy some food and she met a handsome boy. The boy decide to court Angelie. Angelie didn’t know that the boy is their boss. In a long time that her boss courted her they decided to marry in a short period of time. In their honey moon her husband saw the picture of a young boy and he asked if who is that boy. Angelie told that, that boy is her first love. The boy replied that he is the boy in that picture, he lost it when he is 9 years old. Angelie cried and hug the boy.

That is the true love, no one can predict who will be the one who love you with all their heart. Love your wife or husband like what your doing to be good in the eye of god. You should be thankful for what god gave to you, don’t be angry to him if he will be getting your love one’s, because all of us will die.
