My Firsts

New moms love to take note of their FIRST baby’s FIRSTS. My mom is now 65 years old and i wonder if she can still recall some of my FIRSTS as a baby. hehehe. I was a “home-away mom” so i don’t have a record of my girl’s firsts.

I guess we jst have in mind recorded most of our firsts. We still can’t say of LASTS (except for a few) because we still continue to live.

Here are some of the FIRSTS in my life…as far as i can remember.

June 1978 – first time to attend school. kindergarten. but lasted only for two weeks because i screamed in class everytime i don’t see my mom at the door. I guess i had that “leaving you” phobia.

Cherry Bell S - my first close friend in primary school. But she left my school on our 4th grade year.

Teacher Nelly - my first teacher (kindergarten)

Teacher Miraflores – my first primary school teacher.

R.B.S. – my first boyfriend (1986). I was first year highschool and he was 2nd year. He was the guy who taught me what is that “bf/gf” thing is all about.

June 1987 – first hearbroken. it was my first time to feel that “love pain”. I cried for weeks. hahaha!

First Kiss – college boyfriend.
