I'm not a typical person who introduces myself to anyone but for the sake of the audiences reading this blog, I will be out of my comfort zone and grab the opportunity to fully present who I am and what I am to readers.

I'm Rejoy Getis, 19 years-old and a 2nd year student taking up Bachelor of Science in Office Administration at Cronasia Foundation College Inc.,

I came from a happy family effectuated by the love of Rustico N. Getis and Julieta C. Getis. I'm the 2nd in the family and do have a sister named Ritchell who is working now at the City Housing Office and brother Rusty who is in now kindergarten.

I don't know if you'll be surprised or not, but at my age ... I already have a child. Her name is Kizzy Eunice Yvonne but we're calling her "Key" as her nickname.

You might ask what's the story behinding that, but I anticipate that you already have an idea in your mind. After all, what happened to me is a cliche thing that is happening in the youth now a days and was a genre of some televenovelas on TV.

The tragic event happened when I was 16 years-old. When we were 16, we thought that all love-story ended up in a happily ever after. We thought that life is like an average blockbuster film, that audiences demand a happy ending to satisfy the flow of their emotion. But truly. life is not like that way. 

We are the author, and audiences are just an audience.

Maybe it was a product of what we called infatuation that was seismic to us or a mistake that our entire life will be affected.

I'm too young that time that I wasn't capable of having distinction between what is right or wrong. I wasn't capable to defy if a person is faithful to what he's saying or if he truly mean what he say. I will not narrate anymore the whole story because this article is just a brief description of what my life is all about. He is happy with his life right now and so am I.

I know it's not the right time to regret because as SandKing of Dota says, "What's done is done" and regrets won't help either. I've learned  from my mistake and carrying what I've learned in living my new life now.

I'm still thankful to God that he gave me "Key", my child. 

She's the one who makes me smile everyday, in spite of all the worries and problems I'm having.

The one who fetches me at the door of our house when I arrive from school.

The one who is telling me "Dugaya sad nimo mag-abot gikan school mang ui" when I arrive late at the evening due to some school demands.

 

I realize now that even you have an awful experience in the past, still if we hold on to our faith in God and believe we can endure everything with him, we will have the sun shine on our way.

Keep in my mind that in the end everything will be ok, if it's not okay .. then it's not yet the end.

I'm thankful to God for the life of my family, friends and love ones who are my number one fan in this journey of life.

Continuer et Godbless!

Thanks for reading.
