Share what you know about the year you were born.
It was a chaotic 9 months for my mother, it was at that moment when Martial Law in the Philippines was at its most chaotic moment. Political war and people are torn between saving themselves and or adding fuel to a burning flame.
My parents have decided to give birth to me far from the city, as they said armies, political supporters, and civilians are in a total mess in the city. Forcing civilians to rally and protest, rebels killing innocent people, armies that could no longer determine peace and order in chaos and war.
I was born 4 months after the Martial Law ended, but we spent just another year living in the mountains to make sure that when my parents go back to the city. Their five kids can at least live in peace and harmony and no more war.
I was born in the year of the tiger, a tiger-born kid according to my parents has this aura of someone fearless and risk-taking kind of person. They were right, I have done things a lot of it that proves they were right. I feared not being alone nor being away from my family, as soon as I took off and decided to be free. I did things on my own, and started a life on my own. I gambled and had taken risks on my own…and I loved how I did all those crazy things.
