My Groovy Lola

I guess this is the first time i'll be introducing them to you. i want to start the introduction with my beloved lola. she's the one who loved and got hurt among all. and i someinhave also contributed love and pain to her by simply waggling my tail and pooping on the floor instead of the CR (i will mention later the reason why i am forgetful). even though there are times she would likely hit me too hard and wouldn't take of lice and fleas on me, still after a thorough day, we will also reconcile as Grandson and Grandmother. to begin, let me narrate her childhood memories.

Lola was born sometime during 50's where the beatles and the Elvis are becoming famous. she has neither been to school nor being able to grow up with a rich family. she was the eldest among her siblings and at the tender age of 9, she is able to support her mom by selling plastic bags on the wet market with little margin and planting Kangkong (what is it in english?) on the river behind their home in tondo. she grew up being emotionally strong amidst the gift of beauty and a skyscraper brain, she also had a strong tie on her principles in life. she was taught to read and write when a group of christians preached on their house. she was a devoted catholic then, not being able to read and write, she was given free tutorials after a thorough day of patience, perseverance and debate. she has been in love with a chinese guy which later on she married. their relationship is a heaven sent one with a touch of hell after all these years. they had 4 beautiful offsprings, but hardships and pains never stopped.

i say she is groovy because the way she speaks and confronts problems is very different among any other people. she hit you too hard because she loves you. she yells at you when you're wrong but comforts you at the end of the day. most of her offsprings had a hard time understanding her attitude but believe me, amidst all straightforward attitude lies a very understanding, loving and caring mother. she is as protective as mother eagle and as fierce as a tigress when provoked and loves like a penguin.

i can only share a little of her past since i am not at all present when she talks about it with people, i am staying near the kitchen catching mice or sunbathing near the window since i can not go down the stairs to poop.

i only arrived at their home sometime 2008 and many things had changed. it must have been, I am heavensent to this dachshund lover family.
