My Preference: I Like It Big
What do you think I'd talk about in this piece? Perhaps you have a lot of guesses on your mind. The big I'm talking about could be a material thing, a part of the body - ooops! haha, it could be about finances, or maybe a house?
Drop those thoughts because my topic in this article isn't about those. It's about my preference when it comes to family members.
To those of you who follow me on noisecash would probably know by now that I have two younger sisters - the younger one is currently in 3rd year college and the other one is a third grader. It was 15 years before the youngest was born so most of my classmates before thought she is my daughter lol. I was just in high school back then.
Before the youngest was born, me and my second sister usually wear terno clothes, as if we're twins. If she's wearing a jumper, I'd wear a jumper too but in a different color and size since I'm four years older. When it's her birthday, it's my birthday too, meaning I receive gifts as well. I don't know why my relatives do that, even my parents' friends. Maybe they thought the other one would get jealous.
We fought oftentimes because of our differences. I love to read books, she loves to play pogs. Lol. I don't know if you can relate about pogs but here is a reference for those who are curious.
She used to collect boxes and boxes of pogs from playing. I did play pogs too when I was younger but then I was not into it unlike my sister. If she saved her allowance for pogs, I saved mine to buy magazines and books.
Growing up, we only had each other's back. My parents were both busy working for us. They were strict back then. We cannot play outside the house because my mom doesn't like us to mingle with the other street kids while my father's the opposite though my mom's rules are always the ones being followed.
We can only stay at home. What do you expect from us kids? Of course, we'll beak the rules lol. We were good kids though but as kids, we long for play time. We can't play agawan base, or ten twenty if we're only two, right? Because those games are best played with a lot of players. There was a time when we were so bored at home and we want to play ten twenty. We made use of chairs as standee and the other one will stand as well while the other plays. I was so frustrated back then and that's when I wish we were many. I wished I had more siblings to play with.
Whenever my aunt asks us to go to their house, my sister and I would jump for joy because we have our cousins to play with. My aunt E had six beautiful daughters so imagine the joy and excitement in our eyes whenever we go there to play. Also, when there are gatherings, it was soo fun to deal with people. Well, that's my perspective, and my sister's too. We are extroverts and we love dealing with people.
So, my preference when it comes to having my own family is that I like it big. I like to have more than 2 children when the time comes for me. Of course I know the higher the number of kids the bigger the responsibility is. That's why I told my partner I want to settle my finances first and be ready emotionally, mentally, physically, financially before having our own family. I'm still young, I'm not even in my mid 20s yet so I still have the time to get ready.
How about you, do you like it big or small?

Haha at first I thought your article is about your first time experience of "something" but it turns out I am wrong. Yung mama ko dahil nag-iisang anak lang siya sabi niya sobrang lungkot kaya ngayon lima kaming magkakapatid and napalaki naman kami ng maayos kahit di kami mayaman.
