User talk:Matt tampos

In the morning of Tuesday August 19 1992 when the rooster was crooked a baby boy was born to the Tampos family in Davao medical center it was raining and the weather was very cold. The delivery was quite good and the mother was very happy when she saw their baby boy. The baby boy was baptized by Reverent Father Julius Rodolfa in St. Joseph parish of Pampanga on May 1 1994. He was named Mathew by his religious parents in honoring of St. Mathew one of the apostle and evangelist because that time the gospel was from St. Mathew it was customary for catholic parents to name their children after the saints. The full name of the baby boy is Mathew. Mathew is the fifth and the youngest of the five children of Crispin Monderondo Tampos and Merlinda Tadian Linde. Both father and mother were devoutly religious parents affectionate but strict and loveable. MY FATHER The Matthew’s father, Crispen was born in Toril Davao City on and the son of Antonio Tampos and Aproniana Monderondo. He was a driver of the ENTERCO Company while Merlinda, my mother was the chief cook in that company. They knew each other in that company. During the meal of the drivers on that company were they worked, the other drivers were jealous because the viand of Crispen was bigger than the other drivers. Because the cooker and the server was Merlinda my mother, and Merlinda liked Crispen, the other way Merlinda had a crushed with Crispen, that’s why the viand of Crispen was abundant than the other drivers. When my father, Crispen knew that Merlinda my mother had a crushed with him. He took the opportunity, he courted Merlinda because he also loved her but he hidden it. Merlinda was so very happy because she loved Crispen, with no doubt she answered “yes” to Crispen. After that they were always dating every Sunday because that was their day off. My mother My mother named Merlinda Tadian Tampos is the fifth of the ninth of Victoria Tadian and Antonio Tadian. Her father is pure “Mandaya” or native and his mother is half “Mandaya” and half visaya. She is affectionate and devotedly religious. When I was a child she always brought me to the church. She was my teacher, she taught me what is bad and good, and most especially, she taught how to love and serve God. She reminds me to pray always, and to put God in the center of my life. I am very lucky, because God gave me the best lovable and caring mother, and I am also very thankful to god for giving me a wonderful gifts especially the gift of family with lovable parents.

My School Days When I was 6 years old, I started to enter the school in kindergarten. At first I was ashamed because I have no friends and I also I cried if my mother would leave me, my mother said. Later, when I had made many good friends I began to play with them, deal with them, and cry with them. When I reached Grade One I was so very noisy. I spent my grade one at Doña Asuncion Elementary School in Barangay Pampanga, Davao City. When I finished my Grade One, I was transferred to Jose V. Periols Elementary School in Toril, Davao City because my father sold our house in Barangay Pampanga and my father has a lot there in Toril; and we have many relatives there. I finished my Grade Two and Grade Three there, in Toril. I transferred again to Tagugpo Elementary School, Lupon Davao Oriental. At first I was afraid because I thought that the teacher there was speaking “mandaya’s dialect” because some of the people there are speaking “mandaya or native language”. Only few people are speaking “bisaya” and most of them are speaking “mandaya”; but I had a bad thought, the teacher there were not speaking “mandaya.” They are speaking in: “bisaya, tagalong, and English” the same with the other teacher. My classmates there were speaking in “mandaya,” I always listen to them but I couldn’t understand what they were talking about. I asked my mother about this “mandaya” language because my mother is a pure “mandaya” or native person on that certain place. Then she taught me about this language. After a month, little by little I was able to understand their native language but I couldn’t speak their language. When I finished my Grade Five, I was able to get the with honor award. During my Grade Six I planned to transfer in Lupon Central Elementary School, at the Poblacion near at the Catholic Church because we were living in the barrio of Tagugpo. But suddenly my mother didn’t agree because I was a graduating student at that time and she said that I would finish first my elementary studies before I would transfer to Lupon National Comprehensive High School (LNCHS) in the Poblacion of Lupon, then I agreed because I gave respect to her decision. When I graduated my grade school. My desire of studying in Lupon National Comprehensive High School was granted. My mother enrolled me in this school, where I want to study. During the vacation I was so excited to study in that school. On the first day of school, I was late because the motorcycle was so very slow. When I arrived in the school, at first I was finding my room and I was confused that time because I couldn’t find my room, the room of first year. When I saw my cousin I asked her, where is the room of first year? Then she guided me. When we reached the room my cousin left me. As I noticed there were some of them were classmates in grade six, I thought that I was the only one who had no classmates in grade six, but we were many, we came from different barrios when our teacher came, we greeted her, then she said to us that we should introduce ourselves. I was lucky because I was seated at the back part. When they introduced their selves, some of them were speaking English and some of them were speaking tagalong and visaya. When my turn came, I felt nervous, because Most of them were speaking English. Then I introduced myself by vas-tag-lish, which means visaya tagalog English. After a month, I knew them and they knew me, then we became friends. One of my classmates asked me if I know how to play basketball then I answered, yes, that’s my favorite game. So we played often in our basketball court. After a month our first grading exam followed, and then thanks be to God because I passes it and some of my classmates failed because they were very relax. Even though I passed all the examinations with low grades, but I did not failed, because that time I was also relax I did not study my lessons that’s why I got low grades. In the second grading examination, I suddenly failed the two subjects of mine, which was my first time to fail. My parents were very disappointed at me because of that reason. But in the third and fourth grading examination I gained my grades even higher than my normal grades and I finished my first year with good grades. After my first year in high school, I spent my vacation at Toril, Davao city, with my two brothers because they were both living there. And my parents are living in Lupon Davao Oriental. The other brother of mine is currently working abroad, in Dubai, until now. But now he had his own family to nurture. He had only one daughter. My sister is currently living in Manila; in Makati city she also had her profession there. But I always spend my vacation with my two brothers at Davao, because I am very close with them and I like to stay in Davao. The next school year was fast approaching I was prepared for all the things that I needed for the school, because I am now a sophomore that time and I am not a freshman anymore. Then my mother and I went to school to enroll my second year in high school at the Lupon national comprehensive high school. After two months of my vacation I immediately went back to school for my further studies. I started the first quarter of the grading period with excellent grades and good characteristics, and my parents were pleased for all my right doings. During my sophomore year I began to have my first crush which was my classmate. We were not classmate in our freshman year because she belongs to the fast learner class or what they call the node section. That girl was my crush since first year, but I hid my feelings for her because I was ashamed for she was very rich and very gorgeous in appearance. When our teacher had made a sitting arrangement in our class, I always wish to sit beside her, but as always and expected, I am always at the back part of the room and my crush was sited at the front adjacent form the teacher. Beside her were my freshman classmate and friend of mine. I asked my friend if he wanted to sit at the back, which was my excuse for I am very eager to be sited beside my crush. But unfortunately he did not agree, because he had also an admiration to her, we both admire the same girl, but my friend was very fortunate for he was sited beside the girl we both like. Sheila Mae was her true name and she was my inspiration on going to school. One day my friend Mark who was sited beside Sheila was absent due to some health problems and the chair that he was suppose to sit was vacant, so I planned to sit beside her, but shame conquered my emotion. When our teacher told us that we will wrote a long story, I took that as an opportunity to sit beside her because the vision that I had from the back part of the room was very dull. When I was already seated beside her I felt nervous then I asked her, “May I sit beside you? Because this chair is empty, may I?” then a reply was heard, “why not.” Then all the anxiety that I felt vanished in just a whip. At first I thought that she was very strict. That was my first experience of being close to her. When she was writing and was watching at the green board my eyes were fixed staring at her innocent beautiful face, her very cute tantalizing eyes, her sharp-pointed nose, her seducing red lips and her rosy cheeks. Then I thought in my mind says that, “oh! My God, thanks for this wonderful creature.” Then suddenly I did not notice that she was also staring at me, I do not know what to do, so I just pretended that I was writing. When our teacher said, “pass all your notes” I begun to rattle because I did wrote anything on my paper for all the time I am always staring her.
