Introduction

This is a project that I will present in General Psychology about “The Story of My Life”. It illustrate and inform the happenings and special events that happened in my life from the beginning until now. Hope you’ll appreciate.

About Myself

Greetings, I am Melannie Angela P. Lunasin. This present day, I’m taking Bachelor of Science Major in Human Biology. To think I live in a simple life but living with a loving family.

Let me present to you my story...

My Hometown

• I live in Panamitan, Kawit in the province of Cavite. Living peacefully with my parents and together with my relatives.

Where My Life Begins

The day of October 6, 1998. I was given birth in “de la Cruz” hospital in Cavite City.

About me

• When I was young, I was a shy little girl. Dependent but sometimes I am responsible. Modest and sensitive. Until now I got those characteristic lingers in me. I am very helpful towards household chores. And a simple child that is not spoiled. Never envied people who are rich in material things. Easily annoyed to people. Still doing it now...

MY FAMILY

LUNASIN PANTALEON

My SiblingBy the blessing of

the Lord, my mother was given two children at the same time. In short I have a twin sister. And we are the only children that my parents have.

Me and My Sister

• My sister is always sick and I am easily get infected, so my mother decided to separate us.

Thankfully...• But, thankfully.

My grandmother is not favourable on that decision. So she decided to let me live with my aunt in the father side.

Even though I actually live nearby them, we just live in a different houses. (From the left bottom, my cousins, me and my sister, grandpa and another cousin; From the top left, my uncle, cousin, aunt, father and grandma.

The Person Who I Love

• I was raised by my beloved aunt named Angelita from the start until now. She taught me many things in life and I owe her my whole life. She gave me the chance to live with happiness.

With the person who grew up with me

• This is my cousin, Edywynne. We live together since we were children. Same as my sister. We are “The Trio” in the family. We are like real siblings. Our closeness is tightly packed together, I remembered that we three used to wrestle. He taught me how to fight and stand for my self. But, I put it the good time and place.

My Aunties

They are one of the most important family members in my life. The woman in the middle is my aunt and she is like my mother too. Because she took care of me. And the one with the white blouse is like a mother to me, she gives her all support towards us.

My Uncles and Cousin

• Here are my uncles and cousin

• They live in America. And that is the reason why I am not close to them though.

My Grandparents(Left, mother side; Right, father side)

Experiences...

I grew up on the side of my father. I am very close to them compare to my mother side’s. Recently this year, my grandma in my mother side died because of heart attack. That is the first time I encountered lose of loved ones. My grandma in my father side died when I was young so I didn’t experience such events. Thankfully my grandfathers are still alive and they still feel our love.

Growing Up

How I was raised...

When I was young, my parents have introduced me a strict household. They never let me go outside the house. Locking me inside the house grounds. I only look at the kids who are having fun outside. But they gave all there efforts for me to be protected and that is what I thank for them. Giving me suffienct needs and provide the things that I need. They let me know that I should have a boyfriend if I finished college and be simple as possible.

Well I can’t enumerate it all but that is what I can remember...

THE START OF MY LIFE

Entering school is the beginning of my whole self. Where I

develop and apply things in my life.

Schooldays

From the time I was in elementary, I have only one friend that truly understands me. We were have the both same type of household. In short, it is strict. When I started high school, my parents become authoritarian couple. At that point, I started to become wild! I mean not in the wrong way but, I started to make many friends compare I am on elementary. I showed them my true nature. But still, I stayed the simple me.

Love life? To be honest, I hated when

people having a crush on me... Especially when they are becoming suitors. It’s just that I don’t know how to apply kindness to reject them. I don’t want them to be their loved ones because I feel I am not worthy for them and I want them to have a better woman. I only stick with my friends than wasting(?) my time on flirting. I love my friends!!

Likings...

Well of course, I also have a crush. Having a crush for me is an inspiration or distraction for sometime. Personally, I am a meanie when I am talking about my crush. Probably I hated being infatuated, so I talk dirty to them. Like saying I hate them but for me. I really hate saying it but it pushes me to avoid the feeling of liking somebody. That’s why I am called “tsudere”. It could be my parent’s fault I that I’m like this.

Note: “tsudere”  is a Japanese character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before

gradually showing their warm side over time. 

My Personality in Present

By nature, I am a shy type of girl; simple. Pessimistic yet somehow aggressive some of the time. Neurotic, serious, quiet. But when with comfortable people I am loud. I am fun loving, to be honest. I am the type of person who has weird thinking. Loving videogames and animations from Japan.

This paper is the activity that we did, it is about “describing” the person that is written on the paper.

Well I wasn’t surprised that they would write that I am quiet and shy because that is true. But once that they would get be get along with, I could say I am noisy. I felt flattered and happy honestly that someone would describe me as a kind person.

A date with the myself

My ReactionI really enjoyed doing this things, I

cooked something for myself. To think that being alone for sometime is quite relaxing. Eating ice cream, playing videogames and reading comics is really convenient to gain relaxation. But, I felt awkwardness honestly.

Fortune Teller’s story?Since I am not

allowed to go on a public places such as Zapote, I

only checked my fortune at the internet. It says that I

will be successful.

And it guesses that I

am quiet. I must apply my courage

for me to obtain my desires.

I could really say that I am not amazed, it also said that

since I am experiencing stress and hardships when I

took the fortune telling, within 2 weeks I would

experience good luck. But to be honest, I cried because of stress...

Me After 10 Years

All I want for me to become is be a woman who can stands for herself and have courage to face trials. I want to help my family, friends, and relatives. I hope I could help those unfortunate. Like helping them even just a simple ding. I want them to provide home for them to stay.

Be contended in life; even I am not very rich, as long as I am enjoying my life to the fullest. Giving my blessings to everyone and have good relationship with everyone.

Wishing that I find someone that I could be forever. And wish that next 10 years that I am the person that could be the “proud stuff” in our family. Since I wish for greediness, I want my family still beside me.

I WANT TO ACHIEVE

My Role ModelIt’s been a decade since I had a role model. I am gratefully that I have already discovered my role model.

And that is my Algebra teacher, Sir Rondel and my Analytic Geometry & Calculus teacher, Sir Aldrin.

They are both wonderful and inspiring teachers I met when I was in high school. My math teacher taught me that it’s okay to be wrong. Just don’t repeat the same mistakes; Be yourself. And my AGnC teacher taught me to be kind, humble and to give your best on everything.

Letter

For the Myself

Hey there woman, I hope you grew into a fine lady right now... You should be courageous to face trials and handle things greatly since you are in an independent age.

From your past self

Dear Melannie from 2024,

Thoughts and InsightsMany years have pass. I

realized that I really changed. Either good or bad. I have really improved. Applying the values I have in the past really helps me to grow. Bonding with other people, gave me knowledge about life. From that knowledge , my life is having a meaning . The life that they share gave me experience to move forward.

For the future, I wanted to enjoy life. Problems that I can face . And live with the people I loved truly.

Farewell!

So that is my story goes. Though is not full detailed but it shows who I am today.

I hope we could change for the better and believe that “It’s only a bad day, not a bad life. There is always someone who cared

for you.”.

God bless and have a good day...
