Influential Support

We frequently thought, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Somebody who has influenced us deserves more than a thousand descriptions; hence, our lives do act as bridges amongst the populace from all walks of life. It could be…they’re naïve about the inspiration we seized due to their little or huge efforts.

Well, this serves as the window of opportunity for me to avow their significance in my life. Aside from papa's sisters, whose hands had rocked the cradle, my upbringing could never be that productive without their presence.

Dad Bino Rosal- Mom Chit’s other half, is an indisputable brilliant man. I had wished once to make even with his know-how. His generosity is exemplary in particular during his high and mighty days. Living in simplicity, Dad Bino finds comfy hours with us.

Dad Pito Peralta- Mom Ditas’ hubby and one who’d become a philanthropist for my brother (Tephen), was known to be an ideal father. Left us the impression of a very refined man, Dad Pito [who died of Cardiac Arrest] was definitely a pro.

Tito Dave Camaya- Anybody who’s related to his wife (Tita Tess) is considered part of his family, too. Another decent banker in chain, I affirm him for being there for us by leaps and bounds - without a second thought in any port in a storm. Papa felt coziness with him.

Tita Emma Yap- Not because of the appreciation she threw for my diligence in school or character in general, she has always been supportive of me as her relationship with our family is above par.

Tita Lagring Flores- One who could bring my father to heel, simply was a comfort zone (at times) whenever we were in need.

Aunt Tita David- She began paying quick visits in Bicol when I was already in College. Following then, our relationship got elated. One who doesn’t fail to offer openhandedness, Aunt Tita has never missed family get-togethers.

Nanay Heide Roaring & Nanay Elen Portem- mama’s sisters who were on call to man the house and attend to us whenever necessary.

Mrs. Presentacion- My 5th Grade Science Teacher who believed in my abilities and became so proud of my attainments. Her eldest daughter, Ranela, is my friend, too.

Tito Chol Molina- My early elementary years were almost associated with him (papa’s cousin), being my ghost artist for my school projects. Though I was into arts earlier than kindergarten, I looked up to him.

Tita Shel Mendoza- The youngest among Prepotentes (papa’s cousin) who has the best of both worlds…wealth, sharp kids, health, beauty, a big cheese partner, and a perfect domicile! Tita Shel has fine character that makes her everybody’s BIG FISH!

Tito Dingdong & Tita France Ganzon- The GREATEST LOVE I’ve ever received from insignificant others...catered by this couple who might not need an introduction, but the space itself is disobliging for numerous nuts and bolts. Thus, I’m keeping a separate blog for them.

Tita Tess Alsua- Elite with a pure soul, somebody who paid much attention to my crafts. Before I became close to Ayi, her son, I used to rub elbows with her…we exchanged cards & letters; she sent me books on angels & crystals; she persuaded me to make conscious efforts in discovering Angels and write about them; she just leaves no stone unturned. Tita Tess is forever dear to me. Somehow, I travelled enough and I would probably bump into these people's posts over and over again…although it doesn’t have to be physical.

"Circumstances alter cases," yet the way they treated me in the past, things would never be the same without them.
