What is family ?
Family is a group of individuals living in one roof and usually under one head.

"Family is like music, some high notes, some low notes but always a beautiful song."

I have a big family consists of 6 members including my parents , my 3 siblings. My father is 40 years old and his name is Emiliano Ricamora. My father is a very good to me, so strict to me, and so valuable to the point that he always tell to my friends "Ingatan niyo yang anak ko ha ginto yan". Hahaha It's so "nakakainis" sometimes but that's the one of the reason why I love him very much he valued me the most.I feel like I have no words to describe him. My mothers name is Esperanza Ricamora and she's 41 years old ,she's 1 year older than my father. I describe her as an elegant, generous, one of a kind, strong, the most beautiful, caring and hardworking mom.
My parents is one of the wonderful blessings that God give to us. I love them because they loved us unconditionally, they are the best parents for me. They help me to follow the right path when growing up, they correct me when I was wrong and they never bring me down. I have younger brother and he is Larcent , he's 15 years old and currently studying at Bigaa National Highschool (My previous school) and he's a grade 9 student. I also have a younger sister she's 11 years old ,Arabela is her name and studying at Bigaa Elementary School and she's a grade 6 student and my youngest brother is Lawrence I always get mad at him because he's so "Makulit and pasaway" super "Nakakainis, nakakaimbyerna bes" but I love him very much. And I am the oldest among us. For me, family is a 6 letter word with a meaning that is endless and more complex than most things in life. You can't choose what family you've born into. You'll hate them sometimes but no matter how bothersome they may be,you loved them because they are the one who always there for you. And for me family is the best thing I could ever wish for. They are always there for me during the ups and downs and loved me no matter what.

Friends
Friend is someone who you think your life would be different if they didn't exist, a friend is someone who never leaves you out , you are always included when you are with them, a friend is always there for you no matter what.

I have a friend and I consider her as one of my best friend and I treat her as my sister. Her name is "Maricris" but I used to call her "Ate Bembem". I met her at church. She has a good personality and she's very supportive "ate" to me and she's also a God fearing. I'm so comfortable when I'm with her. She can see pain inside me and knows the truth about me. She always there for me through good and bad times. We are not sister by blood but we are sister by heart and sister in God

All of them are also my true friends, I want to mention them all but they are too many. They are always there for me through good and bad times. They offers love, respect and they never leave or betray me. They listen to my problems and lends useful advice for me. They always lend their shoulders when I'm sad, they make me laugh , they always make me feel safe and they never get tired listening to my pointless drama, they become such a huge part of who I am and I even consider them as family even we're not the same last name or blood because family is not just people who share your blood. It's the people who said "I'll be there" and never left. It's about a people who loved you even in your darkest side,the people who laugh and cry with you and they are one of the precious gift that I received from God.
