This article is alot different from my genres of writing, but as you can see on the post title, obviously, I'll be showing y'all the Pedigree Chart of my family.

In our 2nd Semester, Chemical Biology class. My teacher asked us to share about our family, using Pedigree Chart.


Having thick thighs is what I chose as the trait.
As you can see on the pedigree chart, It is a x-linked recessive trait.

I am blessed to have someone like him. Someone who inspires me to do good, to make myself better for other people especially people I love and be a part of something more than myself. That making myself better is not just for me, but for people around me.


I decided to make this just to give an acknowledgement for all the things you have done for me and to express how worthy you are to me. May you feel my love and immeasureable thank you for everything with these words.


You see, your obedient little girl of yesterday has suddenly became a brat lady with a heart and mind of her own. No matter how you wanted the best for her, she will still live her life, commit her own mistakes and learn to be wise in the process.


I remembered when I experienced my first big failure, it’s you and mama who was there for me when the whole world wasn’t. I cried tears of humiliation, despair, and frustration while you and mama were thinking about the best plans for me.


Drawing inspiration from your personal experiences of having picked yourself up after countless setbacks is where I got back on my own two feet, with your motivation and support.

You are a big part of my growth. You always make me think bigger and makes me realize things and mostly the crucial realities in front of me. You tell me the things I need to learn the way I need to hear it.


What should you give to a man who has sacrificed and invested so much in his children’s education, only to discover that there’s a possibility that they might not be able to finish their degree?

If I were to document every single little thing you have done for me, this would be no longer an article, but an encyclopedia.


Pa, thank you for believing in your stupid daughter and still supporting her dreams even though you find them funny and confusing. Thank you for teaching me that I have what it takes in me to pick up the pieces after every fall. Thank you for challenging me to be stronger than I think I am and for spurring me to have the courage to face adversities head on. Thank you for sacrificing some of yourself just for us to have a home and for playing such an active role in keeping the whole family intact, together and happy. Thank you for doing all you can to the best of your abilities in being the best father one can ever have. Thanks for being the world’s best example of a father.


You always show me that every moment, I am lovable and loved by you with no if’s, no but’s and no why’s. That I am so valuable, worthy and created for a purpose.

Papa, you are full of wisdom and knowledge. And in my experience those two could be two different things. I admire you for having both and teaching me that it is power and one must always use this for good. I see you in situations using either and how you conquer your battles in life with grace.

You are the one who taught me to mind my own business and be thoughtful of others, to organize things and yet be okay with my own chaos, to always strive to be better version of myself.


You are my definition of a great man. You are my Papa, someone who took me all yours and raised me. I am more than lucky to have a person like you in my life. I will always be grateful for this beautiful blessing in my life; the most genuine man I have ever known.

I will never stop loving you until the raging sea will stop hitting the sands. Until the hummingbird stop searching for the sweetest nectar. And until the moon stop kissing the vast night sky. I will always love you, Papa. The kind of love that is beyond measure. The kind of love that surpasses the counting of infinite numbers.


I always try to live by the rules you set out of me since I was a kid, (although I fail you in some of it) to the best that I can. I know that you always have a special way of overlooking the bad and seeing the good, understand what’s misunderstood and caring as no one else could.

I know that when my world seems to hold nothing but worries and problems, it holds atleast one person who cares about me very much and that you’re always there for me. Papa, thank you.


To say these words just do not seem enough somehow. But, thank you! And Papa, I know that I’m not always the best daughter that any father could wish for but I know someday I’ll make you and mama proud.


No matter how many doors that will come our way, you are and will always be my hero and my first love, not because of the things you are giving me but because you are my father.

You are the only man who will never give up on me and never let my heart be broken. The only man who will hold my heart forever. And the only man who loves the hell out of me. Who loves me even when I’m not so lovable.


Happy Father’s Day Papa, I love you.💗

You deserve so much more than a day, you deserve more than just a cake, more than just a greeting—you deserve the world, and so much more.

But, as a daughter, I would like to take this day as an opportunity for me to say how grateful I am to be raised by such a strong woman like you.


I cannot thank you enough for all the things you have done and sacrificed for me, for the times you had to fetch me on my school just to know i'll get home safe, for the times you had to stop what you're doing just to listen to me, for the times you had to stay up late to take care of me, for the times you had to cry in private when you know I’m hurt or even worse, for when I hurt you.

Thank you for giving me the chance to grow up with love and understanding, for teaching me how to be compassionate, for allowing me to see the beauty of the world through your eyes.

Mama, thank you for knowing my friends, I know you're time is so precious but you still make time to know who people I am up to. Thanks for supporting me, for being there when I was so down. Thanks for staying up late with me just to listen to my stories, from how my day went to how my crush looks at me, thanks for being my bestfriend.

Thank you.

I remember the first time I talked to you about how my heart feels, you shared with me your teenage years in which you met some people. And I thank you for sharing those things with me.

I would also want to take advantage of this special day so that I could tell you how sorry I am for all the things I have done, for being so stubborn, for not being the daughter you wish you had and for not appreciating you enough, when we all know that you deserve so much more.

I want you to know how lucky I am to have a mother who continuously cares for me even during her bad days. I’m sorry for thinking I know so much more, for not realizing how much your words meant, for always believing otherwise, I hope I knew better.

I’m sorry for taking everything for granted, but thank you for never taking that against me. Thank you for patiently allowing me to mature, to grow, and become a better woman.

Thank you for showing me the meaning of empowerment, for showing me the beauty of equality, and the importance of being a lady. Thank you for letting me live the life I want, for letting me make my own story. Thank you for letting me grow up seeing helping is a part of life, for teaching me how to forgive others, but most especially how to forgive oneself.

Thank you for showing me that I am enough, for teaching me that being pretty is not a necessity. Thank you for being my diary❣ Thank you for the unending love and laughter, Ma, I love you❤

Your hug still warms me up the most and my tears somehow dry faster in your arms. I love you because your love is still and will always be the greatest love anyone has ever given me.

Thank you for always being there for everyone, mom. You deserve more than just a day. You deserve a lifetime of thank yous, and I love yous.

Happy Mother's Day Mama!💗

I promise you that one day, you'll get to see me succeeding in life. And you'll be so proud to have me as your daughter.

You deserve the whole world, my heart, my love, my gratitude.

Love,
Bea❤

Yes. This school year is about to end. The school year that has scared me at first. Hurt me at second. And lastly, made me who I am today

This scared me at first. Why? Because this is going to be my last year in JHS but I had to transfer school due to inevitable circumstances. I had to leave my friends from my former school who had been with me through the beginning of this journey. But as what my mother told me before we have to go at JILCF (which is my school this year) "If you wan't to grow, you need to leave your comfort zone" and I think, I have proven that phrase. I left my school, and at first, my heart keeps coming back to it. Sometimes, we need to try something new in order to know if we can still do more. JILCF welcomed me with open arms. They put me in not the best but the better section. In JILCF is where I have found a family. Generous, My Friends and My teachers.

Second one, this school year hurts me (almost broke me). This school year has taught me a lot of things. And it changed me. I remember what my adviser once told me, "Pag sobrang tigas mo, at di ka nagpadisiplina sa Diyos. Malamang pupukpukin at dudurugin ka ng sobra ng Diyos..." Maybe that's one of the biggest lessons I learned in staying for almost a year here at JILCF. There are things that happened this school year that I badly wish it didn't. But maybe, Lord has sent that problem to me, to change me. This school year hurt me because for the first 2-3 months, I miss my old school. I keep on coming back to my former school and to my friends there. But that missing level hadn't last. Because JILCF has showed me that I had to focus on myself. To fix myself. To understand myself. And lastly to love myself. They embraced me with love and empowerment, and so am I.

Lastly, the school year that scared me, and hurt me, is also the one who made me. They have taught me that sometimes, people fail. Sometimes, we fall hard. They taught me that not all of things that we want, we'll get. But if we work hard and prayed for it, God will make a way to give it to us. They also taught me that not all of your friends will stay (so make it a point that you enjoy every single second you are with them.) They taught me that, it's really not easy to forgive but we should. They taught me to love myself even more. They taught me to stand up after being dragged down. They taught me that we don't need to talk too much in order to find someone who will understand us. They taught me not to depend on others. They taught me to conquer my fears. They taught me to grab every opportunity. They taught me to be responsible on my own. They taught me to enjoy every single second of my life. They taught me to be strong alone, fight alone. But they also taught me that in everything I'm going to face, I am not alone. And I think, It's the most precious lesson I learnt this school year. That in everything I am going to face, I am not alone because God is always there to conquer it with me. I can say that JILCF has been an instrument for me to let God enter my life. They taught me to trust, believe and have faith in Him. I remembered a worship song which God taught me this year, maybe I can say that It's my favorite worship song because it really touched me. And it really defines me, and my God. It says there that:
🎶 Saviour of my soul
I confide in You
Through all my darkest moments
In You I find my peace
My comfort when I'm weak
I trust in you through storm and raging sea🎶
That song is what my JILCF family has really taught me. They taught me not just the song, but the song beyond itself.

So that, I would like to thank my Lord, for bringing me to JILCF. As what they say, "The reason of everything is because God allowed that to happen and It's in his plan for you". Without you God, I am nothing. Thanks for making my last year in JHS a fruitful one. Thanks for not failing me. Thanks for bringing me back to you. Thank you for teaching me everything. Thank you for being there when I need you. And thanks for giving me a whole new family.
To JILCF, I can say that this isn't the end. But this is just the beginning of my journey, as a JILIAN.❤
