childhood years!

standing (from L to R): kuya asong, kuya talay, kuya andoy, kuya janjan, kuya koko. sitting (from L to R): utol adiv and me.


i am sultan von allih adrias ogatis biazon carim, born on december 14 '90. who am i? where did i came from? who are my friends? when did and do i go to study? well2x, fasten your seatbelt and let's do the ride.

that was 1994 when my family went to lebak sultan kudarat and settled there. my mama and papa were separated that time and mama brought us with her. we had been given that time a hut in barangay pansud, that hut was really a mess because it needed a lot of renovations and fixings. every time it rained that time, my mama, together with my older brothers climb up the ceiling to fix it because our floor and of course us, were getting wet. our life was just life that. my mother was jobless, though we had some piece of land in gandong and lanasan, sitios in our barrio. we were nine that time, we were 8 siblings and 9th, mama. i was a crybaby that time. i always cried and cried even for the smallest reason, i did have to cry. i didn't know why. i just cried every time things didn't go my way. it makes me laugh today that during those times, we were called 'bulingiton' because we always played on the soil with 'sip-on' flowing out our noses. hahaha. though, it was really fun. i and my brother were always the playmates, and sometimes, with our second cousins, aldrin and bebe. there was no electricity in our barrio, that's why, every night, mama gave us P3 so that we can watch movies in Aunt Buday's Beta house. i still remember watching there, manananggal ng maynila, batang x, batang z, darna (vilma santos), captain barbel, and a lot more. my fave actor was monsour del rosario because i was amazed by his skills in fighting. uncle benig entered our lives, and we were so blessed that mama was not alone anymore in giving us our needs. he may not be my father by blood, but he is, by heart.

that was 1996 when i first went to school. mama sent me to Pansud Day Care Center to study. the first day i went there, i cried loudly when i looked outside the window and found out my mama was not there anymore. it was very ironic since that center was just steps away from our home. there, i met a lot of friends, but i always isolated myself in the corner, because i didn't want to engage in a fistfight nor in a quarrel because i was afraid of pain and mama would scold me if she knew i did. there were plenty of times that i was lonely since my playmates (adiv and aldrin) were in the grade1, but i also tried mingling with my classmates. i met my good friend, joyjoy, that until now, we're still good friends, really good friends. i finished day care with awards Most Behave, Most Neat and Clean and of course Most Polite.

1997. i was in grade1 under the late maam cruspero. i was always sick that time because of injuries i gained from my brother adiv. we were always wrestling that time, i was just trying to career the nickname they gave me (Hogan). i was a fat cute boy. during grade1, i think i missed almost half of the total school days throughout the year because mama always sent me to a Hilot named Siring who is, until now, still alive and kicking! hehehe. i was on the second section that time because i didn't want the strict teacher in the first section. she was a terror teacher for me, and i was afraid of her. she was a witch, but those were before, now, that teacher and i are in good terms, she was actually my relative, maam mundoc. since i was in a second section, i graduated with honors, 2nd honor to be exact. the first honor went to joyjoy.

1998. the year electricity lighted our barrio. mama bought tv and vhs. the first movie i saw from our own tv set was Turbo Power Ranger. because we were still children with playful minds, in our team, i was the Green Ranger, Pink Ranger was my sister Maymay, Yellow was Taktak, Red was Adiv, White was Aldrin and Black was Bebe. i went in grade2 under, at first, maam sumugat, but later, sir alcaide came in to substitute because our teacher got pregnant. this year i met my bestfriend of all time, until now, we're still bestfriends, Raymond. i met also a lot of friends like jun relle, RJ, mejie, michelle and a lot more. grade2 was a happy year. i finished grade2 also with honors. ahhhmm, this year was the first time i pronounced the word LANGUAGE correctly.

1999. we were under maam villa, joyjoy's mother. the year i got my own pellet gun. i always hid it inside my bag because i didn't want others borrowing that. that was color white because the black one was that of my brother adiv. one of my happiest years in elementary. the first time i danced tango with joyjoy as my partner during our recognition ceremony. as i remember, raymond and mejie, nadric and michelle were the other two couples that time. i wore yellow suit. that was really exciting. i was also the top2 in the District achievement test, i really didn't know how did i do it. i was just amazed, in fact, very happy.

2000. grade4, we were under maam mobreros who was later substituted by maam ayet because maam mobreros was promoted as Principal when our former principal retired. maam ayet is joyjoy's sister. why were we always under joyjoy's family? hahaha! too funny. maam ayet was for me, the best adviser during my elementary years. she was always sharing her experiences and we were always trying to listen to her because it was very interesting. during our recognition ceremony, we danced again, but not tango, its different, its Sway! that was really fun. during our xmas party, i got too many hotdogs because i always won the parlor games. too funny.

2001. under maam zaballa, a beauiful teacher, in fact, my crush. hehehe. but she was so suplada. she's always angry with us but anyways, with here beauty, that was nothing. hahaha. i became for the first time the leader of our group in Boy Scout. i began attending Camp Fire. that was really exciting, but too funny because during the camp fire, mama always went to our camp to give me my milk, i couldn't miss a glass of milk a night since i was always sick. hehehe. my body began to give up always. though we were the worst group, i did try to carry my team and be a good leader. but since i was just in grade5, my grade6 members didn't follow orders and they were second to none! i hate that!

2002. my first ever puppy love transferred in our school. i really liked her the first time i saw her. she's very pretty, even her ugly hand writings didn't annoy me. i hate to absent because of her. i always sought ways just to see her. hahaha. too funny for a young age, but true. Rufina O. Arante. The first girl of my life. the first girl i was obsessed with. grrrrrr. she was the talk of the campus, the crush of aLL boys. enough of that. we were under the advisory of maam magtulis. this year, i started to become more mature since we were the seniors in the school. lots of obligations yet lots of things to cherish! the Last year of my elementary years. we enjoy every moment that came along our way. that was really fun. i graduated with too much happiness and those moments will be cherished forever!
